Another year saw another season of QTCindrella’s much-followed endeavor, Master Baker, which began on April 17 and ended on April 21. It was a busy week for the Twitch megastar, who also held a couple of IRL live streams of TTPD: The Anthology, a 'secret double album' from Taylor Swift that was released on April 19 and contained 15 extra songs of the pop icon.
As is the usual format, six content creators face off in cook-offs for five days, with one participant eliminated each day. The judges for each episode vary, with host QTCindrella — a former professional cake artist — part of this panel. Fans get to see these six streamers battle it out for the prestigious crown of best cook on her official Twitch channel.

The list of participants for the third season included IRL broadcasters and artists with a good presence as online influencers:
At the end of the five days, it was Samwitch who was adjudged the winner of the Grand Finale by a panel consisting of HasanAbi, Willneff, QTCindrella, and fanfan. Other prominent online personalities who served as judges were trevorevarts, Ludwig, bbno$ (the Canadian rapper, singer, and songwriter), TedNivison, Nihachu, musician JohnnieGuilbert, carolinekwan, and PointCrow.
As always, the final episode where the winner was decided ended up being the most popular and watched. Moreover, Samwitch joined SlimeIRL and Fanfan on the winner's honor board, with her second-in-command for the last day being the ever-gracious Brodin Plett.
Moreover, there was merch available for fans and viewers to purchase, as the event did not have any sponsors. That QTCindrella managed to pull off another season without this financial help was a talking point among her followers, who praised her for sticking to her guns and hosting another successful iteration.
Viewership stats from QTCindrella’s Master Baker Season 3
The five-day series ended up doing 225.4K Hours Watched and 29.7K Peak Viewers over an airtime of around 19 hours. It also attained 11.9K Average Viewers, with the event peaking on the final day as fans tuned in to see who would end as the best chef among the six content creators.
The watch time and peak viewership notched here were higher than the previous season, showing that there is always a market for such entertaining content on streaming platforms like Twitch. With Season 2 only bettering the maiden outing by peak viewers, the latest edition has more or less established this series as one that could become a fixture on the annual calendar of events hosted by celebrity streamers.
Most popular female streamers on Twitch over the past week
Master Baker Season 3 also helped QTCindrella gain around 2.8K followers and 1.2K subs. It also put her in both the ten most viewed and ten most popular female content creators list on Twitch for the past week. The watch time standing was led by VTuber akamikarubi, mostly because she was busy playing season three of VCR Rust, the streamer server hosted and organized by VaultRoom and Crazy Racoon.
Moving to chat stats, the total number of messages received during the entire event's broadcast was 461.8K, including 729.9K total words. Of course, the caliber of participants and judges present would always mean that viewers would have something or the other to discuss, and that turned out to be the case over these five days.
Master Baker S3 also got 13K active chatters, which helped it attain an average daily engagement rate of 6.6%. This equated to a messages per chatter rate of 13.7%, with the total earnings from subs being between $2K and $3.2K.
The top five words by mentions were save (36.6K), connor (15.6K), nick (13.3K), brodin (9.4K), and sam (8.7K). Like last year, most of these terms were the names of the participants, reinforcing the idea that their journeys were closely followed by viewers.
Sticking with the streamers, the most popular participant by the number of mentions was ConnorEatsPants with 15.6K mentions. He beat the second-placed falco by a little over 2K mentions, with Brodin Plett finishing in third with 9.4K mentions. Sam was the other broadcaster to get over 8K mentions, with the eventual winner’s final-day pairing with brofain proving especially fruitful in endearing the latter to audiences.
The latest season of QTCindrella's ambitious cooking venture continued to catch fire among audiences, doing much better than the previous iteration. It also added to her catalog of successful ventures, including creating the coveted Streamer Awards and co-hosting the Wine About It podcast alongside Maya Higa.
