Figure skater and Lancaster County native Johnny Weir continues to expand his television profile — this time moving into hosting a baking competition on the Food Network. The TV personality, who grew up in Quarryville, will host the new “Wedding Cake Championship,” premiering on Food Network next month. His co-host will be his longtime broadcasting partner, fellow Olympic figure skater Tara Lipinski.
The show, on which teams of bakers will compete in various baking challenges related to wedding cakes, premieres Monday, June 25, at 9 p.m. The show will run for several weeks, with one team of bakers being eliminated each week. The top prize is $25,000. Judges are baker Kimberly Bailey, Maneet Chauhan from the network's "Chopped" and celebrity wedding planner David Tutera.
Weir and Lipinksi have reported as a team for NBC from the past three Olympic Games, along with doing fashion commentary for such events as the Academy Awards and the Kentucky Derby.
