Baking Scraps2 Dec 2025

Adela Mou

Get ready to meet Adela Mou, finalist of The Great American Baking Show Season 3 - a self-taught home baker from Brooklyn who blew us away with her bold flavours, creativity, and fearless experimentation.

From decorating ice-cream cakes as a teen at Cold Stone Creamery, to quietly baking birthday cakes in college, Adela carved her own baking path, inspired by global flavours, especially Asian ingredients like pandan and hojicha, that she blends into desserts in unexpected ways.

On the show she stayed true to that vision, juggling “Bake Off” classics like cookies, cakes, and pastries, while infusing them with her unique flavour flair.

In our Baking Scraps conversation, Adela opens up to Lisa and Cristina about what it felt like to step into the iconic baking tent, bake under pressure for judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, and how those friendships and memories - not just the competition - became the heart of her experience.

She also shares what home-baking means to her now: balancing her baking passion with a full-time job and community, experimenting with flavours, and merging cultural influences in dessert…reminding us all you don’t need to be a “professional” to bake something truly special.

Tune in for a warm, real, and inspiration-filled chat.
