The Great Canadian Baking Show

About the Show

CBC’s homegrown take on hit format The Great British Bake Off, The Great Canadian Baking Show (8x60 (+1x60 holiday ep); Fall 2022) brings together 10 amateur bakers from across the country to compete in a series of themed culinary challenges that celebrate their diverse backgrounds, families and communities. Each of the one-hour episodes features three rounds: the Signature Bake, the Technical Bake and the Show Stopper. After the judges taste and critique the bakes, they crown one Star Baker and ask one baker to leave the tent. The final three bakers compete for the Great Canadian Baking Show title. The series is an affirming, warm-spirited competition that celebrates personal achievement and the joy of baking.
