TVE unveiled a sweeping look at a bold new entertainment experiment this Monday, introducing a show titled Baking: celebrities bake. The program is positioned as a central pillar of the forthcoming television season, combining high-stakes competition with the glamour of celebrity kitchens. Alongside the cast reveal, the national broadcaster confirmed the name of the host, Paula Vazquez, who will guide the journey as contestants step into the spotlight.
The lineup features a diverse group of personalities: Terelu Campos, Ana Boyer, Toñi and Encarna Salazar (Azúcar Moreno), Alba Carrillo, Yolanda Ramos, Manolo Sarriá, Julio Iglesias Jr, Julio Salinas, Patxi Salinas, Pablo Puyol, Blas Cantó and Marc Clotet. These celebrities will join Rocío Carrasco in the contest, bringing a wide range of public profiles to the competition. It was also announced that the show has the backing of YOTELE, signaling strong institutional support for the format. Yolanda Ramos makes a return to this kind of format after her appearance on Prime Video’s 2021 edition of Celebrity Bake Off, adding another layer of experience to the cast.
A panel of highly regarded chefs will evaluate the culinary efforts of the fourteen contestants. The judging table features a roster of acclaimed professionals with significant industry recognition. Paco Roncero, Eva Arguiñano, and Damian Betular are set to bring international reputation and expert critique to every episode, as confirmed in a press release from TVE.
Each episode will present two core culinary challenges. The show’s structure evolves across installments, beginning with a chef’s signature reinterpretation of a pastry classic. In addition, a creative task will push contestants to produce visually striking results that resonate with the judges. A blind tasting round will place all participants on equal ground as they prepare the same surprise recipe for evaluation. Across the season, guests from music, sports, acting, and culinary worlds will appear and contribute testimonials, enriching the storytelling and energy of the competition.
Bake Off: celebrities bake is produced by Boxfish. The production aims to bring together renowned pastry professionals who will mentor the celebrities as they craft desserts, reveal innovative recipes, and share lively, humorous moments that highlight the camaraderie and rivalry characteristic of a celebrity kitchen showdown. The series promises a blend of skill, creativity, and personality, inviting viewers to enjoy each contestant’s journey through a series of entertaining and ambitious bakes.
