This, the first week, is cake week, as the judges believe cakes will provide a good initial test to gauge the bakers' overall skill level. The signature challenge is to make an elevated version of a traditional fruit upside down cake. The contestants have two hours to complete the challenge. The challenges with this bake are getting the correct ratio of fruit to cake, picking the right fruit not only for flavor but also liquid content and cooking time which may affect the cake batter, and to prepare their pans so that the cake with the fruit releases properly from the...

It's biscuits and bars week, which to some are better known as cookies and squares. For the signature bake, the bakers, in two hours, are required to make a dessert bar with at least three distinct layers to be cut into twenty-four individual servings. Some of the technical issues they may encounter are different baking times for the different layers, applying some of the upper layers onto warm bottom layers, and cutting the bars neatly into the individual servings. For the technical challenge, the bakers are required to make eighteen digestive biscuits in ninety ...

For the semifinals, the four remaining bakers will have to contend with French pastries. For the signature challenge, they have two hours to make a mille crepe cake, which will be a little less than a thousand as the name implies in that it only needs to have at least twenty-five crepes. The crepes themselves need to be thick enough to withstand the filling, while thin enough to still be considered a crepe and not a pancake. As they cannot use dowels or skewers to hold the cake together, the filling must be firm enough to act as a glue to hold the cake together when ...

It's the finals and three bakers remain standing: Andrei Godoroja, Sachin Seth and Megan Stasiewich. The judges are looking for the bakers to incorporate all that they have learned since being in the tent to the finale challenges, and as such issue three very different challenges covering the vast array of baking. For the signature challenge, the bakers will have to make twelve each of two different varieties of mini Swiss rolls in two and a half hours. Beyond amazing flavors and beautiful presentation, the judges will be looking for the right ratio of filling to sponge, a light and moist sponge, and the ...

A group of amateur Canadian bakers are convened for a baking competition. There is a theme to each week's competition, generally in the vein of the type of goods the competitors are to bake (i.e. cakes, cookies, pastry, etc.). Each week, they are given a set amount of time to complete each of three challenges, their finished products which are evaluated by expert judges. The first weekly challenge is the signature bake, the competitors to bake something from their home recipes which are to signify who they are as bakers within the category. The second weekly challenge is the technical challenge, where each of the competitors are provided the same recipe, in large part of something they may have never heard of let alone baked before in their lives. This challenge is to see how knowledgeable the competitors are about general baking concepts. Their finished products are evaluated blind in that the judges have no idea who baked what. The third weekly challenge is the showstopper challenge, in which the competitors are to pull out all the stops to produce a baked good which overall grand appearance is as important as taste. At the end of the week based solely on the three challenges, the judges will name the best competitor star baker, and will send one competitor home, that person whose competition has come to an end. The final three competitors enter into the finale, the winner of that week who will be crowned the overall competition winner.
