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

With Cristina away on vacation, Lisa and special guest (and expert on applying to baking shows) Steven Levitt 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.
