Cross Country Cake Off

This holiday season, cake brings the nation together in a celebration of design, delectability, and edible engineering in the original competition series, CROSS COUNTRY CAKE OFF. It’s a search for the country’s most gifted cake maker, led by cookbook author and multiple-Canadian Screen Award Winner, Mary Berg, and celebrated pastry chef, Andrew Han. The special four-episode holiday season showcases the unbridled creativity of Canada’s best cake makers, and the incredible stories of heart and humour that inspire them. It begins with Cake Time when eight cake makers present their homemade cakes to the judges at each of the three regional qualifier locations in each of the host cities – Vancouver, Toronto, and Halifax. Four individuals from each location are selected to move on to Bake Time in the CROSS COUNTRY CAKE OFF kitchen where they will take on a timed cake challenge presented by the judges. After tasting and critiquing the cake creations, Mary and Andrew determine two regional cake maker finalists per region to face off in the national finale in hopes to be named the CROSS COUNTRY CAKE OFF champion and win the $50,000 prize.
