College physiotherapy instructor Mary Lou Snow, 67, of Conception Bay South, Newfoundland exited the tent on this week’s episode of THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW, while Edmonton, Alberta’s Nataliia Shevchenko proved to be one tough cookie, earning the title of Star Baker, for the second consecutive week. Biscuits Week saw the bakers create 36 savoury crackers with a homemade spread for the Signature Bake, followed by the beloved tea time classic, marshmallow puffs, for the Technical Challenge and for the Show Stopper, a fantasy cookie scene to transport the judges to another world.
As Snow leaves the tent, the following bakers remain:
● Colin Asuncion, 30, a marketing manager from Toronto, ON
● Liam Harrap, 29, a journalist from Revelstoke, BC
● Chris Koo, 30, a family physician from Edmonton, AB
● Jasmine Linton, 22, a university student from Richmond Hill, ON
● Andrea Nauta, 30, a barista from Comox, BC
● Jodi Robson, 33, a table games dealer from Regina, SK
● Nataliia Shevchenko, 33, an administrative assistant from Edmonton, AB
● Jay Smidt, 51, a government trade officer from Cantley, QC
In the next episode of THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW, the remaining eight bakers will make it grain, while rising to a series of doughy challenges during Bread Week. The baking continues next Wednesday, October 2 at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC and the free CBC Gem streaming service.
THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW 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 eight one-hour episodes features three rounds: the Signature Bake, the Technical Bake and the Show Stopper. After the baked goods are tasted and critiqued, the judges decide the week’s Star Baker, and who will be sent home. The final three bakers will compete for the Great Canadian Baking Show title.
