Corus Entertainment Announces New Baking Competition Series Filming in Toronto
TORONTO – Corus Entertainment is turning up the heat in the kitchen with two new seasonal baking competitions set to premiere on Flavour Network this fall. Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop, both produced in Toronto, will feature eight skilled bakers competing for a grand prize of $25,000, with actress and comedian Lauren Ash as the host.

Rachel Nelson, Vice President of Original Programming at Corus Studios, emphasized the company’s focus on homegrown talent: “Corus Entertainment is thrilled to announce Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop, two new Canadian Original series with showstopping competition and a distinctly Canadian flare.”
The shows are produced by Nikki Ray Media Agency in association with Corus Studios and will be available on Flavour Network and streaming on STACKTV.
