Calling all home bakers! Proper Television today announces its cross-country casting tour for the landmark tenth season of THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW on CBC, in addition to virtual casting. With its biggest casting tour to date, open baker auditions will be held in Edmonton, Alta., Winnipeg, Man., Toronto, Ont., Montreal, Que., Moncton, N.B., and Charlottetown, P.E.I. All talented home bakers are invited to bring their best baked creations for consideration.

This year also marks the first-ever casting events for the series in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Local bakers in each of the six regions are asked to register their attendance at the Eventbrite links below. Attendees should bring one home-baked item that will show off their design skills, techniques, and flavours. This item will be presented to THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW casting team for tasting.

While online casting remains available for those who are not able to attend in person, the open call offers another chance to impress the casting team, plus the opportunity to meet bakers from previous seasons on site.

The details of each event are listed below

THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW is CBC’s homegrown take on hit format The Great British Bake Off, bringing together 10 amateur bakers from across the country to compete in a series of themed culinary challenges that celebrate their diverse backgrounds, families and communities. The series is an affirming, warm-spirited competition that celebrates personal achievement and the joy of baking. Past seasons of THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW are available to stream for free on CBC Gem.

THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW is produced by Proper Television, a Blue Ant Studios company, in association with CBC and Love Productions.
