About The Great Australian Bake Off

The Australian take on the tent swaps it for a big airy shed and runs the familiar formula with a distinctly local looseness: drier humour, stand-up comedians hosting, and nobody too precious about a collapsed pavlova. After a one-season network start in 2013, the pay-TV revival gave the show its definitive form and one of the most loyal followings in the franchise. The casting skews delightfully eclectic even by Bake Off standards.

The format

Each episode runs a Signature, a blind ranked Technical, and a Showstopper, with a weekly elimination until the finale crowns Australia's best amateur baker. There is no cash prize.

The prize

No cash prize; the winner takes the title, in the Bake Off tradition
