It’s our one-year anniversary, and we’re inviting you to pull up a chair at the kitchen table! In this special milestone episode of Baking Scraps, Lisa and Cristina take a heartfelt look back on the journey so far - sharing the bake that made us fall in love with baking; talking about how the idea for the podcast got started; and, yes, confessing our biggest “Baking Craps” (those unforgettable fails that taught us just as much as our successes!).

We also open up about our personal lives, getting a little deeper than usual, as well as reflecting on how Baking Scraps has shaped us both on and off the podcast. Without a guest this time, we put ourselves in the hot seat for a lively round of “This or That,” revealing our quirky tastes and preferences in all things baking and beyond.

We celebrate the incredible guests who’ve joined us over the past year and share which ones left the biggest impression…and even ask the big question: would we trade a shot at The Great Canadian Baking Show to keep this podcast going?

Looking ahead, we share our hopes and dreams for the next year of Baking Scraps and beyond. Whether you’ve been with us from the first crumb or just stumbled upon us now, this is a warm, messy, and delicious celebration of all things baking, community, and friendship.

So grab your apron (and maybe a cupcake) and join us — here’s to many more years of sharing the sweet and the sticky with you! 🧁✨

This week on Baking Scraps, Lisa and Cristina are joined by the Sweet Elora Khanom, the Season 8 winner of The Great Canadian Baking Show.

Almost a year to the day since she first stepped inside that iconic tent, Elora reflects on her whirlwind experience…from her love of mangos and all things pink to the technical challenges that still keep her up at night. She opens up about the moments when things didn’t go according to plan (including one unforgettable mishap during Cake Week) and how quick thinking and creativity helped her rise to the top.

Tune in for a heartfelt chat with one of Canada’s most charming and humble champions.
