It’s really a delight and we know you will love this deliciously fill...

Bread week is always an exciting one and this one proves the point. Something fun about The Baking Show, because it run’s half as long as it’s British counterpart, is super lean which means you already have the absolute best bakers show up earlier in the series. We are joined by one of those amazing bankers Becca Fortune Cary to discuss baking, European ingredients, and developing the needed skill...

This week in the tent we’re whipping up biscuits while hanging out with two of our favorite bakers from this season of The Baking Show. Lisa Smith Sanders and Sue Taylor join us to discuss baking, making it to the tent, nerding out and travel. It’s a wonderful adventure in all-things cookie this week.

It’s The Quarter Finals and Dessert Week! That, is a big deal. This class of bakers legitimately being one of thefinest yet really gets to show off this week and it’s pretty darn impressive. But if we’re talking dessert, we can’t do it alone and so we are joined by friend of the show and the Great American Baking Show 2025 Champ, Kim Goldfeder-Clarke. We catch up with Kim on what she’s been up to...

Ah, Meringue! Not something I seek out in my quest for desserts but if they looked as good as some of thisweek’s bakes, I may need to look into it. From Signature to Showstopper everyone one really showed up and did the do artistically, and for some flavorwise. A really delightful episode. Oh, and you should check out The Great BritishBake-Off, An Extra Slice episode we discussed because it’s real...

Time to get flaky on these fools! Yes, it’s Pastry Week and we are getting laminated in the tent. This was a very impressive set of bakes. From the signature on through to the showstopper.

Team KP Signa...

We are down one NicJu this week so Tee brought in his StaysKrunchy in Milk co-host LuNcHBoX2099 to fill in. It’s chocolate week and it was a real barn burner of an episode where those that did well did really well, and those that did bad, did so, so bad. That being said, it really was a delightful episode and you are sure to enjoy it along with our reaction to it. Hope you enjoy what we’re doing a...

It’s “Confused American Week” here at KP Headquarters cause this episode took us on a journey and then some. Oh,and then the record was botched, not beyond repair but the Audio/Video Situation this week was challenging and may not look and sound as good as normal. But we figured a cobbled together episode was better than none. Back ToSchool in the UK must be an adventure. Granola Bars masquerading...

We were joined by the homie Brad Gessner to interview this year’s winner Kim Goldfeder Clarke who is such an angel and so fun to hang out with and talk tent. We then review The Final which was a banger of an episode. This has been such a wonderful season. We have to thank The Roku Channel for allowing...

It’s the Semi-Final and it was a barn burner of an episode! Crème Caramels, a classic European Bake and a watch it wiggle showstopper! We get to see what’s going on with Bake-Off alum Kim-Joy Hewlett in this week’s Baker’s Make the World Go Round news segment. It was a delightful episode and I can’t believe next week is already the final. Thanks for hanging out with us this go round. Let’s do it a...

Ahhh, Pastry Week! What a time to be in the tent, laminating doughs. Drying out your choux. So much to be done, so little time. It was an adventure in baking this week, high highs and low lows, but in the end, a Star Baker was crowned, and a baker was sent away, just like every week. What makes this episode all the more special is we are once again joined by one of the bakers from this very season...

The gift of baking is what we share with you, the listeners and viewers this day. Yes, indeed Nic and Tee are back to review and recap the 2024 Celebrity Holiday episode of The Great American Baking Show and it made for a really nice ep y’all.

And just like that, we arrive at the end. This has been one of the greatest series of this show ever and the final three bakers are some of the bests of the bunch.
