Scrap Recap Season 9 Episode 5

In this episode of Scrap Recap, we dive into Indulgence Week on The Great Canadian Baking Show, where luxury takes center stage and even the cherries glitter! We unpack all the lavish challenges, the creative flavor combinations, and all the high-stakes energy that comes with trying to make mini cheesecakes worthy of the title “indulgent.”

We also get into the week’s wild Technical Challenge, featuring the viral Dubai chocolate bar turned into a giant cookie. It’s a bake that has us talking about textures, fillings, and just how over-the-top a single cookie can be. Vincent might actually be the only person alive who hadn’t heard of the Dubai chocolate craze until now, but he’s already planning to make his own kataifi to try it out. Steven, meanwhile, wants absolutely nothing to do with that plan.

And once we get to chatting about the incredible details and thoughtfulness that went into the Showstopper (a CAKE-WRAPPED CAKE?? What is that even ABOUT?!), we can’t help but marvel at how talented these bakers are. Every episode feels tighter than the last, and at this point, it’s almost impossible to guess who might go home. Watching them create such detailed, imaginative bakes each week is inspiring, and saying goodbye never gets easier.

By the end, we’ve covered all things indulgent: sparkle, skill, and the difficulty in seeing anyone go home. It’s decadent, unpredictable, and totally Baking Scraps.
