Elements of the sponsorships and integrations surrounding "Top Chef Just Desserts" include:

Breyers joins the "Top Chef" team as a fully integrated sponsor and official ice cream partner of the series, sponsoring an on-air Quickfire challenge and a custom vignette series highlighting natural ingredients used by the chef'testants.

Filled with delicious twists, turns and drama unlike anything that "Top Chef" has seen, "Top Chef Just Desserts" features highly celebrated chefs in the pastry world ranging from "Mr. Chocolate" himself, Jacques Torres; the "Leonardo Da Vinci of cakes," Sylvia Weinstock to Wolfgang Puck's famed Spago pastry chef, Sherry Yard and Eric Ripert's Le Bernardin pastry chef Michael Laiskonis, among others.

Each episode holds two challenges for the pastry chefs: the first, a quickfire test of their basic abilities and the elimination challenge designed to test the versatility and inventiveness of the pastry chefs. These chefs will prove that a little sugar and spice never tasted so nice.
