6: S16E6 "Pastry Week"

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 18:44:00 -0400

What’s that flake of buttery goodness? Ahhh yes… it’s Pastry Week! Join Wendy, Jayme, and Greg as they ooh, ahh, and groan their way through the tent’s laminated layers, savory plaits, and gravity-defying tart sculptures.

From sausage-stuffed braids to Jamaican beef patties, Gala pies with mysterious holes (or not enough of them!), and pecan-pie towers threatening to topple — this episode was flaky in all the best ways. The bakers have leveled up, and now even the smallest mis-lamination could send someone home.

Who rose to the occasion and who got buttered out of the competition? Tune in for our laughs, gasps, and maybe a few pastry puns along the way.

What's that smell?!? Mmmmmmm....chocolate (week)!!! Join Wendy, Jayme and Greg in admiring, imagining, and savoring the wonder that is Chocolate Week with Chocolate Mousse Cups, a variety of technical white chocolate ganache tarts and towering chocolate fondue displays! Some bakers really came out smelling sweet, and others fell into a bitter pit of baker's chocolate.

4: S16E4 "Back to School Week"

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 20:29:00 -0400

Welcome back to...school? Well, British school, anyways!! Join Jayme, Greg, and Amelie as they study hard with creative flapjacks (not pancakes), a school cake-tastic technical, and stunning summer fète (not fight) stall displays! Our North American lack of UK culture was a bit apparent, as we weren't super familiar with some of these bakes, but still, a very lovely episode.
