Doughnuts spelled the end for Oak BayB次元官网网址檚 Jude Somers during Canadian Week on last nightB次元官网网址檚 episode of the how.

B次元官网网址淒oughnuts are my nemesis,B次元官网网址� says Somers, who doesnB次元官网网址檛 really make or eat those particular sweets. She learned how to make them for the show and practised at home. B次元官网网址淚 saw them coming and they did me in.B次元官网网址�

Based on the British format, The CBC show brings together 10 amateur bakers from across the country to compete in a series of themed culinary challenges as they celebrate their diverse backgrounds, families and communities. Each episode features three rounds including the Signature Bake, the Technical Bake and the Show Stopper. After the bakes are tasted and critiqued, the judges decide who is the weekB次元官网网址檚 Star Baker and who goes home. The final three bakers compete for the Great Canadian Baking Show title.

Somers was OK with being the one cut from competition last night. B次元官网网址淚f it hadnB次元官网网址檛 been me going out, it would have been at someoneB次元官网网址檚 expense,B次元官网网址� she says.

Her tourtiere turned out well, but her technical bake too had a bit of a slip.

B次元官网网址淭hat was also my bad. I did a good bake on it and everything, but I started playing to the camera and having fun and doubled one of my ingredients so I could perform,B次元官网网址� she said of her maple cookies. She doubled the butter for her frosting filling while hamming it up.

The experience left her with new friends, likely beyond the show, and a chance to share her love of the Canadian version.

B次元官网网址淚 really really enjoyed having people come up to me and tell me they enjoyed the show,B次元官网网址� she says. She and husband Gord More are fans of the British version, and happily, she says that friendly competitiveness rings true in the Canadian version.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 always happy to say yes itB次元官网网址檚 really as nice as it seems,B次元官网网址� Somers says. B次元官网网址淭he egos are all focused on the right stuff. I hope people keep on enjoying it even without whimsical Jude.B次元官网网址�

She herself will root for James the other BC entry and looks forward to what the others do with remaining bakes she knows theyB次元官网网址檒l face. She practised those too after all, and plans to revisit some during the holidays.

B次元官网网址淚mpressing the heck out of family I hope,B次元官网网址� she says.

The CBC show airs Wednesday at 8 p.m.
