This is ‘Baking: Celebrities in the Bake’
TVE reshapes the schedule with Bake: Celebrities in the Oven after opening Thursday with a stumble. The show recovered with a solid drift toward audience and a favorable point gain, though it stayed behind the lead options for the night. The second episode now moves to a later prime slot, airing this Monday at 22:50, with Paula Vázquez guiding the stage as host.
In this follow-up episode, the baking enthusiasts join the cast to push their dessert skills further. The format on La 1 centers on a tasting of their own creations, with each contestant facing a trio of textures to demonstrate mastery: creamy, crunchy, and a fruit-based sauce. The challenge is designed to test versatility and precision, encouraging innovation while staying true to the core pastry craft.
Beyond the tasting round, a technical test awaits where contestants must assemble and replicate a delicate house of cards. The stability of several pastry teams hangs in the balance as a misstep here could ruin a dish and derail a hopeful chef’s path on the show.
Led by Paula Vázquez, fourteen celebrities began their quest to be crowned Spain’s top pastry chef last week. The lineup includes Rocio Carrasco, Terelu Campos, Ana Boyer, Tony and Encarna Salazar (Brown Sugar), Alba Carrillo, Yolanda Ramos, Manolo Sarria, Julio Iglesias Jr., Julio Salinas, Patxi Salinas, Pablo Puyol, Blas Canto, and Marc Clotet. The eventual winner will choose a charity to receive the prize, spotlighting social impact as part of the competition’s spirit.
In every installment, candidates confront two culinary tasks. Each preparation is judged by a panel known for its rigor and prestige, featuring a multi-award-winning chef Paco Roncero, renowned media and pastry figure Eva Arguiñano, and internationally acclaimed pastry chef Damian Betular. The trio’s scrutiny adds weight to every move a contestant makes, shaping the show’s tense but fascinating rhythm.
