Overview
- In the fifth episode, which aired Wednesday, 26 August 2026, Jenny from Magdeburg left the competition after scoring lowest overall when small mistakes in technical tasks and the visual finish outweighed positive taste notes.
- The programme uses a two-person jury that scores technique, execution and creativity, with Bettina Schliephake-Burchardt and Christian Hümbs serving as this season’s judges who pointed to inconsistent baking and imperfect presentation in Jenny’s entries.
- Season 14 began on 29 July 2026 and runs weekly in primetime on Sat.1 at 20:15 with episodes available on the streaming service Joyn and repeat broadcasts on Sat.1 late at night and on sixx.
- Seven contestants remain in the race for the Goldenen Cupcake and the €10,000 prize for charity: Anna, Kayahan, Bianca, Andre, Michael, Oxana and Elli.
- The show is produced by BBC Studios Germany at Schloss Stülpe and is presented by Enie van de Meiklokjes, who has hosted the format for many years and guides the amateur bakers through the programme’s technical and creative challenges.
