On March 26, 2025, singer Senna Gammour and four other stars will participate in the next round of "Das große Promibacken" on Sat.1. The show, now in its ninth season, is entering a critical phase as the competition heats up. Juror Christian Hümbs will assess the performances in the baking studio, where the contestants are tasked with creating a Schachbretttorte (checkerboard cake) and a Mandelbiskuit (almond biscuit).
The sixth round will be broadcast on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 8:15 PM, with host Enie van de Meiklokjes welcoming the five remaining stars who are vying for the title. This week’s challenges come from the expert jury, which includes top pastry chef Hümbs and cake specialist Bettina Schliephake-Burchardt.
Last week, the competition saw the exit of two celebrities. Entertainer Bruce Darnell had to leave the show after suffering a finger injury during the fourth week. Initially allowed to stay despite the injury, Darnell was ultimately forced to withdraw when his doctor prohibited him from continuing. Darnell's departure was a blow to the show, as he was a fan favorite known for his vibrant personality.
In a dramatic turn, football world champion Nadine Anderer also exited the competition despite being the previous week’s best baker. She had impressed the judges but failed to secure a win in the fifth round. This left singer Vincent Gross as the new weekly winner, scoring an impressive 54 points across the three challenges.
As the competition progresses, Gross must now face off against some formidable opponents: football star Pierre Littbarski, actress Manuela Wisbeck, singer Senna Gammour, and moderator and podcaster Amira Aly. Each contestant will have to showcase their skills in baking a Schachbretttorte, which requires at least two different colored bases. The technical challenge will also test their abilities, as juror Hümbs has requested a delicate Mandelbiskuit filled with vanilla cream and covered in elegant white chocolate glaze.
In a previous episode, Bruce Darnell's unfortunate accident occurred while he was preparing fruit puree for his cake. The incident, which involved a Pürierstab (blender), resulted in a loud "Autsch" that startled everyone in the baking studio. The injury was serious enough that he required 13 stitches, and the medical team quickly determined that he needed to go to the hospital for treatment.
In an exclusive interview, Darnell reflected on the incident, stating, "My finger... it has suffered, but you know what? It fights! It heals! It’s a survivor!" He humorously added that while he might have a scar, he loves the stories they tell. Darnell also expressed his desire to return to the baking show, saying, "Of course, there will be a comeback. I’m not just a comeback; I am THE comeback!"
Despite the injury, Darnell remains optimistic about his future in baking. He noted that while he gets "goosebumps" at the sight of a Pürierstab now, he is determined to overcome the trauma and return to the kitchen. His camaraderie with fellow contestants was evident, as he mentioned that they had baked for him in a show of support during his recovery.
Meanwhile, Manuela Wisbeck, another contestant on the show, brings her own flair to the competition. The actress, who has roots in Vorpommern and has performed at the Vineta Festival in Zinnowitz, is in the spotlight as she showcases her baking skills in front of millions. Her participation adds to the diverse mix of personalities that make up the current season.
As the show continues, viewers can expect high-stakes drama, emotional farewells, and, of course, plenty of delicious baked goods. The combination of celebrity contestants and expert judges creates an engaging atmosphere that keeps audiences coming back for more.
With the competition narrowing down, the pressure is on for the remaining stars to impress the judges and secure their place in the next round. Each contestant must not only showcase their baking prowess but also navigate the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being in such a high-profile competition. The stakes are higher than ever as they aim for the coveted title of champion baker.
In conclusion, the sixth round of "Das große Promibacken" promises to be a thrilling episode filled with challenges, creativity, and perhaps a few surprises. As the remaining contestants strive to outdo each other, viewers will be glued to their screens, eager to see who will rise to the occasion and who will crumble under the pressure.
