The Final Mention of Next Great Baker

The Final Mention of Next Great Baker

This is the last time I’ll talk about this show, I swear.

The next great Baker finale was on last night and my personal favourite, Mr Dana, won! His cakes took the…cake.
The final challenge for each contestant was to stock the cases of Carlo’s Bakery (the shop owned and operated by the show’s host) with their favourite pies, cakes, and pastries in a contest to see whose would sell the best. Meanwhile, they also had to create a cake for the mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, themed around her city.

The winner of the show would receive fifty grand, a new car, and an apprenticeship at the host’s (Buddy) cake shop in New Jersey.
Thankfully this horrible wench Corina, who shouldn’t have made it as far on the show as she did, was eliminated after the first leg of the competition. This left Meghan(below) and Dana, both of whom I’ve liked since I started watching the show.

In the end, despite Meghan’s cake being the top pick by the client, Buddy chose Dana to win. This isn't that surprising because throughout the show it was pretty obvious that Buddy favoured both Dana as a potential future employee. More than once he dropped comments like “My main man Dana!” and “Dana, I know you’re better than this, so you don’t get eliminated.”

Plus, Meghan is more of a leader than Dana. She’s someone who is better off running her own shop.

And guess what? Just last Thursday the show was renewed for a second season. Hopefully this time around Buddy won’t be as obnoxious. Perpetuating Italian stereotypes like that in New Jersey can’t be good. Besides, we all know what people from New Jersey are actually like:
