The Great Canadian Baking Show Season 08 Episode 04 Description
Coffee and Tea Week
For the first ever Coffee and Tea Week, the bakers had two hours to make a tiramisu in any style, but must have distinct layers and ladyfingers, for the signature challenge. In the technical challenge, the bakers were given two hours to bake a melktert, a South African milk custard tart; as a variation, the recipe included two layers of custard: vanilla milk flavoured layer and a rooibos tea flavoured layer, and dusted in cinnamon and a macadamia nut and rooibos tea brittle. For the showstopper, the bakers had 3 hours and 45 minutes to create a fika display, which must include a cake, buns, and cookies.
