Great Canadian Baking Show Season 4 Episode 5 recap: The fruits of one’s labour

Flowers and herbs are the theme of this week’s GCBS episode

This week, six remaining bakers face the first-ever Botanical Week on The Great Canadian Baking Show which celebrates fruit and herbs–as well as teaches us as viewers which flowers are edible and can add great flavours to baked goods.

Co-host Ann opens the show by asking Alan if he remembered his first time. She used adjectives such as soft, sweet, supple to describe her first. Ann was actually referring to the first time she baked…which was not what we were all probably thinking.

She got quite the laugh out of me with this moment. (Off-coloured humour often gets a laugh out of me.)

Tanner starts off by commenting that there’s a 16.7 per cent chance of him leaving the GCBS tent this week and. His math is spot on.

If he doesn’t rise to fame by way of winning The Great Canadian Baking Show, I imagine being a self-proclaimed baking mathematician would make him very popular with the masses. After all, math is used in every step of baking.
