Baking Scraps

In this special season finale of Baking Scraps, we take you along on our whirlwind trip to Toronto for a weekend filled with baking, friendship, and unforgettable memories. From judging a butter tart competition to reconnecting with members of the Great Canadian Baking Show family, every day was packed with adventure.

We share the highlights of our travels, the incredible people we met, the delicious food we enjoyed, and the behind-the-scenes stories that made the trip so memorable. You'll also hear about a highly competitive and surprisingly chaotic game of The Great British Bake Off board game involving several Great Canadian Baking Show alumni, proving that bakers don't stop competing when the cameras are off.

Join us as we relive a weekend of full hearts, full stomachs, very little sleep, and plenty of laughter. It's the perfect way to wrap up the season before Baking Scraps returns in September with a fresh lineup of exciting guests and new baking conversations.

If sourdough feels confusing, intimidating, or like it secretly hates you, this one’s for you.

We’re talking starter drama, common mistakes, lazy baker shortcuts, and why your sourdough probably just needs a little patience. Sourdough expert Claire Watson joins us to tell us how she got into sourdough, explain who Linda the sourdough starter is, and hopefully demystify some of the stressful things about getting into baking this wondrous type of bread.

Also yes, we discuss naming your starter…because as most of us know, that’s a big thing.

This week on Baking Scraps, we’re flipping the script as Great Canadian Baking Show Season 5 winner Vincent Chan takes over the mic to interview Lisa and Cristina. They get into how they each fell in love with baking, the shows that pulled then in, and how an Instagram connection turned into real-life friendship (and a lot of baking together).

We chat behind-the-scenes baking show realities, our favourite challenges, and the community that keeps us coming back for more. There are stories, laughs, a few kitchen mishaps, and some honest takes on where baking shows are headed. Surprising questions also give insight into something you may never have needed to know about us (toilet paper habits, anyone..?)!

We also share something close to our hearts: Lisa’s young relative’s leukemia diagnosis, and how you can support through blood donation with Team Riley’s Hope and her GoFundMe 💛 https://gofund.me/0de1f1d85

It’s personal, unfiltered, and full of everything that makes this baking world so special.

This week on Baking Scraps, we’re bringing back one of our favourite conversations from our first year, with The Great Canadian Baking Show judges Bruno Feldeisen and Kyla Kennaley.

This episode is full of baking stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and so much insight from two incredibly talented bakers. Going back and listening to this one reminded us why we loved it so much the first time, and we’re so excited to share it again with you.

Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or listening back with us, we hope you enjoy this throwback episode as much as we did.

Today’s episode of Baking Scraps is a little different and so much fun!

We opened up the inbox and read your baking confessions, and wow, you all did not disappoint. Kitchen disasters. Secret shortcuts. Guilty pleasures, recipe fails, and the little things bakers never admit out loud. This episode is full of laughs and the kind of chaos only fellow bakers truly understand!

Some of these confessions had us shocked, some had us absolutely howling, and a few were way too relatable.

And just when we thought the listeners had shared it all, Lisa had a little baking confession of her own that she was almost too ashamed to admit on air. You are definitely going to want to hear that one.

If you’ve ever burned a cake, licked the spatula before serving, pretended something was “rustic,” or quietly used a boxed mix, this one is for you.
