  • Summary

  • In the first Season 2 episode of the Baking Scraps, Lisa & Cristina sit down with Marian Castelino, a talented baker from Season 5 of The Great Canadian Baking Show. Born in Bahrain to Sri Lankan parents, Marian identifies as a "third culture kid," shaped by her multicultural upbringing. She shares her journey of moving to Canada, where she and her husband—who also emigrated from Bahrain—finally met.


    Marian talks about her career as a designer, how her love for baking began with creating nut-free treats for her daughter who has nut allergies, and how she worked through her insecurities as she entered the competition. Despite being a self-described “weirdo”, Marian reflects on how being on the show helped her embrace her uniqueness and gain confidence in her individuality.


    We also dive into how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted social life, how her experience on the show shifted her career as a designer, and the lasting friendships she formed with her fellow bakers. Join us for a conversation on overcoming self-doubt, embracing your identity, and the powerful connections that come from the love of baking.
