In each episode, contestants face two culinary challenges that are evaluated by a recurring panel. The judges include chef Paco Roncero, pastry chef Eva Arguiñano, and pastry chef Damian Betular, who bring a mix of savory and pastry expertise to the table.
Challenges vary from episode to episode to keep participants on their toes. Celebrities will navigate a process that may include a pastry reinterpretation of a classic, a fantasy task emphasizing visual impact, or a technical challenge where everyone prepares the same recipe for a blind tasting by the jury.
The program is produced by RTVE in collaboration with BOXFISH. It is an adaptation of the British TV series The Great British Bake Off, which has aired thousands of episodes across more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Australia.
