Great Canadian Baking Show Season 4 Episode 1 recap: Let them bake cake
We want that cake, cake, cake, cake…
With a record-breaking 2,000 bakers across the country answering the initial call out for this new season of The Great Canadian Baking Show, it seems casting was an exceptional amount of work for the Proper Television production team due to overwhelming interest coupled with the pandemic. Virtual interviews followed by various screenings led just 40 Canadian home bakers to a Zoom baking competition. From here, the 10 competitors for season 4 of GCBS were born.
Before I get to those 10 individuals, I can only assume that judging a baking competition without being able to taste the end result must suck. At this point, you really are judging solely on looks…something we were all told not to do as kids.
On a mildly related note, CBC has happily shared their COVID-19 protocols online in regards to this season’s production and how they approached safely filming this new season.
