Zumbo's Just Desserts season 2

The second season of Zumbo's Just Desserts premiered in Australia on November 17, 2019, on Seven Network. Ten contestants were selected to compete. The winner of this season won the grand prize of $100,000 and earns the title of "Zumbo's Just Desserts Winner".

The show is hosted by Adriano Zumbo and Rachel Khoo. On May 16, 2019, it was announced that the assistant Gigi Falanga, who appeared in the previous season, was not returning.

Competition structure
Each chapter is divided into two stages. The "Sweet Sensations task" and the "Zumbo Test".

During the first challenge, regularly with a duration of three hours, each contestant must create a dessert following the theme and rules given by the judges at the beginning. Rachel and Zumbo evaluate each of the creations, determining a winner, who gets the Dessert Of The Day. They also declare those who were safe from the second phase and the two bakers who will go to the second phase or elimination round.

The elimination round, or Zumbo Test, consists of testing the bottom bakers with original Zumbo creations, where at least one baker will go home.
