The Great Canadian Baking Show Season 08 Episode 01 Description
Cake Week
For their first signature challenge, the bakers were given two hours to make a love cake, using nut flours and flavoured with spices and aromatics. In the technical challenge set by Bruni, the bakers had 2 hours to bake a schmoo cake, a cake from Winnipeg composed of layers of pecan angel food cake, whipped cream, candied pecans, and caramel sauce. For the showstopper, the bakers had four hours to make a split cake – a cake that is split open and decorated on the inside and outside.
