Great Canadian Baking Show Season 4 Finale recap: All’s well that bakes well

Who takes home the crown on the GCBS season 4 finale

We went from 10 bakers to three in seven weeks and this is the episode of The Great Canadian Baking Show where one baker gets to feel happy and overwhelmed with an extra boost of self-assurance.

In other words, a winner will be crowned tonight!

This has been such a fun season of GCBS. I have loved watching each baker perfect their craft and showcase their artistry as things progressed over the past eight weeks.

Though I consider myself somewhat of a baking aficionado, I too picked up a few baking tips along the way. I also learned that some desserts aren’t as scary to create as I thought…while others totally are-I’m referring to the St. Honoré cake.

I also enjoyed the fact that this show is not about the drama…though that might be because Dominique and Bertie got cut early. I joke, but the thing that is so lovable about this series, aside from the bakers, is the fact that it’s really about making those drool-worthy things you want to see in a bake shop.

I have truly looked forward to watching and recapping the show each week, but I digress…

I imagine our three finalists gave themselves many good-vibe pep talks in the mirror before this closing set of baking challenges.

It’s worth noting just how much each of the three bakers have evolved since episode one.

Raufikat’s confidence grew throughout the show and she’s the only two-time Star Baker this season.

Mahathi, the youngest competitor has not shied away from taking creative risks in the kitchen and most of which have served her well.
