All pivotal portions of ‘Easy-Bake Battle’ are taped in Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city. Specifically, the show is recorded in a unique set built within the Netflix Albuquerque Studios in Mesa del Sol. The area designed for the series has three cooking stations for the participants to showcase their skills. Besides, it houses two gigantic Easy-Bake ovens, which the finalists use in the second round of each episode. In addition, the set has a confessional area with a couch where the bakers sit and share their inner feelings.
Also known as ABQ Studios, the property has eight sound stages, multiple offices, and a backlot. Interestingly, the facility is referenced in ‘Breaking Bad‘ season 5 of the series as the coordinates of Walter White’s buried money point to Albuquerque Studios. In 2020, Netflix expanded the facility by around 300 acres. Over the years, the Netflix Albuquerque Studios has been home to many other hit TV shows, including ‘Stranger Things‘ and ‘Better Call Saul.’
