They realize this is not only the most difficult week because of the end prize, but also because the judges can throw anything at them for the final three challenges. The antepenultimate challenge of the season is the final signature where each, in two and quarter hours, will be making the two component bossche bollen vlaai: "vlaii" being a flat tart with a yeast leavened crust, and "bossche bollen" being the cream puffs adorning the top of the tart. They are moving from the Netherlands to the Philippines for the penultimate challenge of the season, the final technical, where in two and quarter hours each will make a higher end reimagined version of a crema de fruitas, which is usually a pantry clearing dessert, but which the bakers here will need to make many of those pantry staple items from scratch, such as the fruit cocktail and the graham cracker crumbs. And the final challenge, the final signature, has the bakers in four and a half hours each making a madeleine tree, which must contain one other baked confectionery beyond the madeleines. These three challenges will lead to the judges making the decision of who will be The Great Canadian Baking Show Season 9 winner, the announcement made in front of family and friends, some in the latter category familiar with the pressures of the tent.
