In a delightful twist of fate, Christina and Luca Hänni have emerged victorious in the 2025 edition of "Das große Promibacken - Osterspezial," marking a significant milestone as the first married couple to win the popular baking competition. The show aired on April 16, 2025, featuring three celebrity teams who faced off in a series of Easter-themed baking challenges, all vying for a generous prize of 10,000 Euros for charity.
The competition was fierce, with each team comprised of a celebrity baker paired with a baking novice. The contestants included Jochen Schropp and Kim Fisher, Ulla Kock am Brink and Oliver Kalkofe, alongside the Hännis. Hosted by the charming Enie van de Meiklokjes, the show was judged by renowned bakers Christian Hümbs and Bettina "Betty" Schliephake-Burchardt.
From the very first challenge, it became clear that Christina (35) and Luca (30) were on a winning streak. Their task involved hiding artistic motifs within baked goods, and their Easter bunny and egg designs not only caught the judges' eyes but also won their taste buds over, earning the highest scores. Their success continued in the technical challenge, where they adeptly baked classic Schillerlocken shaped like carrots, again impressing the jury.
The final task, themed "Where does the Easter bunny live?", required the teams to create two different cake layers and fillings. The Hännis once more showcased their baking prowess, delivering a well-thought-out presentation that secured their win.
While many fans celebrated their triumph, with comments like, "Congratulations - well deserved! Really two very sympathetic people and such a sweet couple," some critical voices emerged on social media. A few users expressed their discontent, with remarks such as, "Not deserved" and "The two are really unbearable!" However, the overwhelming support from fans seems to overshadow the negativity.
The show's conclusion was filled with joy as the Hännis were awarded the coveted Golden Cupcake along with the prize money, which they plan to donate to a good cause. Their victory not only highlights their baking skills but also their teamwork and chemistry as a couple.
As the first married couple to win this prestigious title, Christina and Luca have made history in the baking competition, adding a personal touch to their achievement. Their journey through the competition was characterized by a blend of creativity, skill, and a deep connection, resonating with viewers who followed their progress.
Despite the few dissenting opinions, the couple's performance throughout the show spoke volumes. They remained calm under pressure, demonstrated professionalism, and worked seamlessly together, which clearly impressed the judges. The jury's decision appeared to be based on merit rather than public sentiment, reinforcing the notion that talent shines through competition.
In the aftermath of their win, Christina and Luca are likely to continue their journey in the culinary world, inspired by the positive feedback and the love from their fans. Their story serves as a reminder that success can be sweet, even amidst criticism.
As they bask in the glow of their victory, the Hännis will undoubtedly reflect on their experience in "Das große Promibacken - Osterspezial" as a significant chapter in their lives. The couple's journey has not only brought them closer together but has also endeared them to a wider audience, who appreciate their genuine spirit and baking talent.
