On April 16, 2025, the popular baking competition "Das große Promibacken" returned to screens with a festive Easter special, hosted by the charming Enie van de Meiklokjes. The show featured three celebrity duos vying for the coveted title in a series of baking challenges designed to showcase their culinary skills and creativity.
Competing in this special edition were the dynamic pairs of Jochen Schropp and Kim Fisher, the musical couple Christina and Luca Hänni, and the entertaining duo of Ulla Kock am Brink and Oliver Kalkofe. Each team was tasked with completing three Easter-themed challenges that tested their baking prowess and inventive spirit.
The ninth season of "Das große Promibacken" had just concluded the previous week, with Amira Aly emerging as the champion, taking home the "Goldenen Cupcake" and a prize of 10,000 Euros for a charity of her choice. However, the Easter special promised to deliver even more excitement and surprises as the celebrity bakers stepped into the kitchen once again.
As the show kicked off, Enie van de Meiklokjes welcomed the contestants, setting the stage for a delightful evening filled with baking, laughter, and a hint of chaos. Jochen Schropp humorously declared his team as "Team Chaos," a fitting description as the competition unfolded.
The teams faced their first challenge, which involved creating their own unique recipes. Christina and Luca Hänni, known for their vibrant personalities, decided to bake a colorful cake that included hidden Easter eggs and bunnies. "A delicious biscuit with Amaretto," Luca described their creation, showcasing their flair for both baking and performance as they danced and kissed amidst the flour and frosting.
Meanwhile, Ulla Kock am Brink and Oliver Kalkofe encountered a hiccup with their cake featuring a liquid chocolate core, which threatened to turn into a complete disaster. As the tension built, Kalkofe pulled out a syringe filled with hazelnut schnapps, hoping it might salvage their creation. "Is this the rescue we need?" he quipped, adding a humorous twist to the baking drama.
The competition's second challenge involved a technical test set by the show's judges, Christian Hümbs and Bettina Schliephake-Burchardt. The judges, known for their discerning tastes, scrutinized each team's creations, emphasizing the importance of precision and technique in baking. The contestants felt the pressure mount as they attempted to impress the judges with their skills.
Throughout the evening, the camaraderie and friendly rivalry among the teams were evident. Kim Fisher and Jochen Schropp, seasoned entertainers, showcased their experience while also dealing with the unpredictability of live baking. "We’re here to have fun, but we also want to win!" Fisher exclaimed, embodying the spirit of the competition.
As the final challenge approached, the excitement in the studio intensified. The contestants had to pull together everything they had learned and created throughout the evening. Each team presented their final products to the judges, who evaluated not only the taste but also the presentation and creativity of the baked goods.
In the end, the winning pair was awarded the prestigious golden cupcake, along with the 10,000 Euros to donate to a charity of their choice. The celebration was not just about winning but also about the joy of baking for a good cause, reflecting the show's heartwarming spirit.
Viewers were treated to an entertaining spectacle filled with mishaps, laughter, and mouth-watering treats. The Easter special of "Das große Promibacken" proved to be a delightful blend of culinary competition and celebrity charm, reaffirming the show's place in the hearts of fans.
