Vincent Chan and Steven Levitt return for our recap of Cookie Week from Season 8 of the Great Canadian Baking Show, where this week’s Wafer Cookie Technical Challenge had everyone buzzing. We were thrilled by the '80s nostalgia and some truly unexpected flavor combinations. We'll dive into topics like bacon in baking; the meticulous planning and thoughtfulness of a few standout bakers; marshmallow versus Italian meringue; and the many shades of pink. We also bid a fond farewell to another favorite, while celebrating the fashion choices and heartfelt baking decisions of this week’s Star Baker. Plus, we ponder whether Rice Krispie Squares and cookies made in a waffle iron truly count as a BAKE! Join Cristina and Lisa along with our special guests for a recap best delivered by two bakers who’ve navigated all eight episodes in the iconic tent—just try to overlook the cheesy puns and accidental innuendos!
