Food NetworkKeaton Ashton didn’t go into season nine of Kids Baking Championship expecting to nab the $25,000 grand prize. “Really, my only goal was to make it past the first couple of challenges,” says the 13-year-old from Sugar City, ID. But he emerged as a front-runner during the first episode when judges Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman instructed the kid bakers to decorate mini cheesecakes with edible brushstrokes. “I thought, what’s something that’s out of the box?” he says. His s’mores-inspired cheesecakes, topped with brushstroke flames made from candy melts, wowed the judges so much that they named him the challenge winner, foreshadowing his ultimate victory. Try this recipe inspired by his clever idea. —Francesca Cocchi for Food Network Magazine
