The Cooling Rack: a podcast about The Great Canadian Baking Show artwork

Join Michael and James as they breakdown (with bubbly, maybe) every episode of The Great Canadian Baking Show. Every episode the duo will break down the bakes from the Signature, Technical, and Showstopper challenges. Sometimes it's funny; sometimes it's serious, but the one thing you can count on is that we'll never glaze over the bakes!
