The Great Canadian Baking Show welcomes ten of the country’s most passionate bakers to the iconic white baking tent to face Cake Week, and demonstrate talent and skill in the first of many challenges.

The bakers dive head first into a world of carbs as they tackle three difficult challenges for Bread Week: Traditional Italian Focaccia for the Signature Challenge, Montreal bagels in the Technical Challenge, and a Showstopper that sees the bakers create Decorative Bread Centerpieces. The judges sample, discuss and declare the Star Baker, and announce the baker who must leave the tent.

Dessert Week allows the Top eight bakers to shine in a series of sweet challenges. They must create an elegant pie or tart for the Signature Bake, delicate and pretty Fondant Fancies for the Technical Challenge, and a perfect Pavlova for the Showstopper. The judges reveal the Star Baker, and announce who must leave the baking tent.
