This week on Baking Scraps, we’re talking about what it really feels like to put yourself out there 😳

With Cristina @eatbakelovelady away on vacation, Lisa @storiestoldinsugar and special guest (and expert on applying to baking shows) Steven Levitt @gratefulbaker243 sit down with hopeful home bakers who have experience applying to baking shows and know the vulnerability of hitting “submit”. Some are still applying; some have decided to step back; all of them are still baking 🧁

This was a chance for us to feature some incredible talents that the world hasn’t yet seen, as a first glimpse into the lives and experiences behind the ones on your television screen. What does it really take to apply to be on a baking show? How hard does it hit the ego when you aren’t accepted? And is it worth it to do it anyway? 🙌

The answers are honest, funny, tender, and encouraging. This is an episode about courage, waiting, self-doubt, resilience, and why it’s important to keep showing up, even when the outcome is uncertain.

We’re excited to introduce you to some of the talent you may one day be seeing on your television screen, so that you can also encourage them in their journey. 🤍

Thank you to all these lovely humans for sharing their stories with us:

Citrus at Christmas 🍋

The tradition of citrus at Christmas began long ago when it was a rare luxury to receive something so exotic during the winter. So to have a birthday during this festive season, when one would think of the coziness of chocolate or spices, why not opt for a bright, fresh lemon cake filled with lemon curd, berries, and wrapped in a velvety lemon Swiss meringue buttercream?

🍋 🫐 🎄

This week, we wrap up an incredible GCBS season with a full Finale recap and a whole lot of love. 💛 Cristina and Lisa finally got to celebrate together in Vancouver with the BC bakers, and it was everything … laughter, hugs, chaos, and all the warm, sweet energy this baking family brings.

We look back on the season, cheer on the winner, and share hopes for the next one (yes, auditions are open!). It’s a heartfelt, joy-filled send-off with our Fabulous Baker Boyz … full of gratitude, teasing, and all the feels. 🧁✨

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
