EPISODE 13: THE GRAND FINALE

It’s the grand finale and our final three talented, young bakers – Jahzara, Tineke & Afton must face off for the title of The Taste Master Junior champion!

Their challenge is to celebrate Clover’s 125th birthday but first they are taken for a very special treat a visit to a historical farm to learn how people baked in the past! 

Watch their final baking battle, Tuesday 22 October at 7pm on SABC2 with repeats Wednesday at 1pm and Sunday at 4pm. 

I am very excited with a sense of scepticism. How good can these kids really be? I suppose with the free access to world class baking and cooking they should be well informed and exposed. In my heart, I truly believe this is going to be a very pleasant surprise and heaps of fun

For season 5 I will be looking for excellence in execution of techniques and authenticity.
