The signature challenge is to make a cake in the shape of their lucky number, with decorations to match the reason for considering it lucky. The contestants have two hours to complete the challenge. This challenge marks the first time the bakers will get a chance to get acquainted with their baking station. It also introduces the ten contestants to the viewing audience. The main technical issue with this challenge is not to cut the cake while it's too warm, otherwise the cake may break apart. For the technical challenge, the contestants are required to make in ninety minutes a strawberry roulade. They have to ensure a tight and round roll which doesn't crack with a good strawberry flavor and good cake to filling ratio. They also have to demonstrate their mastery in meringue as both the cake and the buttercream filling will require it. And for the showstopper challenge for which they are provided three hours, the contestants are required to make a cake representing any one of the Canadian provincial flags. This challenge will allow the contestants to let their imaginations run wild in how they represent their flags. Written by Huggo See less
