The eagerly awaited 10-part series will premiere on FOXTEL and BINGE on Wednesday 18 September at 8.30pm AEST, with episodes served up weekly at the same time on both platforms.
The series is a FOXTEL Original produced by BBC Studios Productions Australia based on the format by Love Productions and distributed by BBC Studios Distribution.
This season, 12 new bakers will be donning their aprons and taking their place in the iconic Bake Off shed under the attentive and encouraging eyes of esteemed judges, global culinary icon Rachel Khoo and Australia’s king of pastry Darren Purchese. Hosting the show are comedians Natalie Tran and the late, dearly missed Cal Wilson, who appears in four episodes.
Wendy Moore, Executive Director, Entertainment Content and Channels, FOXTEL said:
“Season 7 of The Great Australian Bake Off holds a special place in all our hearts. Cal’s passing was a devastating shock to the Bake Off family, and she is dearly missed by everyone who knew her. Her deep love for this show and her unique blend of charisma and kindness brightened the shed every day. With Cal in our hearts and the full support of her family, The Great Australian Bake Off Season 7 will premiere on 18 September at 8.30pm on FOXTEL and BINGE.”
Kylie Washington, General Manager and Creative Director, BBC Studios Productions, said:
“Cal loved being part of the Bake Off family and everyone on the series loved Cal. She brought a beautiful energy to the show and we miss her enormously, and I’m pleased that audiences will get another chance to see the magic that she brought to the Bake Off shed.”
Over 10 weeks, diverse home baking enthusiasts from around Australia will go through a series of mouth-watering challenges which will test their skills and creativity as they tackle delicious desserts, cakes, biscuits, breads, and pastries, in a bid to become Australia’s best baker.
This season’s bakers are a vibrant and diverse group, from Adrian Barila, a 28-year-old theatre performer who weaves his Italian heritage into his creations, to Jaden Briggs, a proud Gunai Kurnai and Yorta Yorta man mastering bush tucker with native ingredients, and Laurina Bowlen, a 36-year-old 50s dress designer renowned for her jaw-dropping sculptured fondant cakes. Fans will be delighted by bakers from the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe, spanning diverse occupations like bartending, singing, and nursing, all bringing their unique flavours and unforgettable moments to the show.
Rachel Khoo, judge, said:
“This season of The Great Australian Bake Off is an absolute treat for the senses. From inventive flavour combinations to breathtaking presentation, each episode is packed with surprises. I can’t wait for everyone to experience the magic we’ve created in the Bake Off shed.”
Darren Purchese, judge, said:
“I’m beyond excited for everyone to see our new season – the level of talent in the Bake Off shed is simply extraordinary. We have such a diverse group of bakers this year, each bringing their own unique flair and background to the table. The challenges are tougher, the creations are more innovative, and the passion in that shed is truly inspiring. It’s going to be a thrilling ride for viewers from start to finish!”
Natalie Tran, host, said:
“This year, Bake Off holds a special place in our hearts and allows us to truly celebrate Cal. This season is a tribute to her memory, the incredible talent of our bakers, and the genuine camaraderie that makes the show so special.”
