Step aside green eggs and ham — the spotlight is on a new sugary program featuring local pastry chef Tareka Lofton from Loft22 Cakes. Tareka is headed to the big stage for Prime Video’s “Dr. Seuss Baking Challenge.”

A look inside the magical world 🍭

The culinary show features 18 bakers in nine teams competing for the grand prize of $50,000. The teams will bring the magical world of Dr. Seuss to life with extravagant cakes, cookies, and pastries. Watch the full trailer.

The star-studded cast 🎂
