Bruce County Library hosts Season 7 contestants of “Great Canadian Baking Show”

Baking show fans enjoyed a sweet treat, Saturday afternoon, May 17, as the Bruce County Public Library branch in Port Elgin, hosted the Season 7 contestants from “The Great Canadian Baking Show” for a special two-part event.

Local resident Niv Menon-Saberi of Saugeen Shores was reunited with her fellow cast-mates, Kathy Neiman, Andrew Evers, Camila Garcia Hernandez, Loic Fauteux-Goulet, and Candice Riley, for this exciting afternoon.

The event kicked off with a question-and-answer panel where the audience was able to ask questions and hear first-hand stories from the talented bakers, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the competition, challenges and creativity behind their show-stopping creations.

Following the panel, a one-hour meet-and-greet was open to the public, allowing guests to chat with the bakers, take photos, and sample some Instagram-worthy mini-pavlovas with raspberry and lemon curds, as well as other baked treats.

“It was exciting to bring such a unique and engaging event to our community,” says library director Brooke McLean. “Baking is both an art and a science, and hearing directly from the contestants was an inspiring experience for bakers and foodies, alike.”
