    Go Big or Go Home

    Lisa, Cristina, and the Fabulous Baker Boyz are joined by special guest Larry Harris, bread baker extraordinaire from season four of the Great Canadian Baking Show! With a towering bread “wedding bake” serving as the final showstopper of season eight, who better to join us and give his thoughts? We break down the episode bit by bit, weighing in on our favourite moments and the strengths of each of the final three bakers, while discussing what it was like to bake in a tent with over 40°C heat. Amazing flavours, beautiful structures, and technical difficulties abound, culminating in the crowning of the latest winner of GCBS. The S4 and S5 alumni reminisce – and sometimes argue – about their time in the tent, giving all of us some laughs and nostalgia along the way. And in the end, all the bakers gave it everything they had, truly giving meaning to the phrase “go big or go home”…because when you’re all going home anyway, you might as well leave it all on the table. CONGRATULATIONS to all the bakers of Season 8 for a spectacular season; we have loved watching all of you and know that every single one of you could have made it to the end. And congratulations to the winner, who truly has shown all of us the meaning of dedication, perseverance, and beauty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
