German baking show Das große Backen 2026

Overview

Sat.1 launched the 14th season of the German baking competition “Das große Backen” on 29 July 2026. The series, an adaptation of “The Great British Bake Off”, features twelve amateur bakers competing for the title “Deutschlands bester Hobbybäcker 2026”, a gold cupcake, and a €10,000 charity prize.

Episodes air weekly on Wednesdays at 20:15 CET on Sat.1, with early releases available on the Joyn streaming platform. While some reports indicate an eight-episode series concluding on 16 September 2026, other indications suggest a ten-episode schedule with a finale expected in late September 2026.

The contestant pool includes individuals such as 24-year-old baking influencer Anna from Worms, 24-year-old former professional handball player Kayahan from Salzgitter, 61-year-old paramedic Constanze from Hamburg, and 32-year-old natural-ingredients advocate Bianca from Augsburg. As of episode five, contestants Laura, Constanze, Janina, Sandra, and Jenny have been eliminated. Following the seventh episode aired on 9 September 2026, Anna was also eliminated after receiving the lowest score from the jury.

The remaining contestants competing for the final are Bianca, Andre, Michael, Oxana, and Elly. The season finale is scheduled to take place on 16 September 2026.

The jury comprises pastry-queen Bettina Schliephake-Burchardt and multiple-time “Patissier des Jahres” Christian Hümbs. Longtime host Enie van de Meiklokjes (born Doreen Grochowski) returns as presenter. The jury evaluates contestants based on technique, execution, and creativity.
