Smeg is once again the official appliance partner of the new season of Foxtel Original series, The Great Australian Bake Off, providing all major and small appliances.

Judged by global culinary icon, Rachel Khoo and Australia’s ‘King of Pastry’, chef Darren Purchese, and hosted by comedians, Natalie Tran and the late Cal Wilson, season seven of The Great Australian Bake Off sees 12 amateur baking enthusiasts put through a series of challenges.

Each episode contains three themed baking challenges – Signature, Technical, and Showstopper. At the end of each episode, one contestant is named Star Baker and one is eliminated, until one is ultimately crowned Australia’s Best Amateur Baker.

Assisting the bakers will be Smeg Classic ovens and cooktops, as well as a full collection of award-winning small appliances including stand mixers, coffee machines, hand blenders and more. Smeg FAB fridges, in a palette of classic Smeg colours, adorn the iconic Bake Off shed.

Smeg is also the major prize partner for the season, with the winner receiving the ‘Ultimate Baker’s Kitchen’, complete with refrigerator, microwave, stand mixer, hand blender, food processor and a range of other appliances.

“We’re proud to return as the appliance sponsor of The Great Australian Bake Off and have the chance to showcase our small and major appliances to an audience of baking lovers. The Smeg product looks excellent in the Bake Off shed, and we’re excited to watch this season unfold,” Smeg Australia head of marketing and product, Nick Elgin said.

The Great Australian Bake Off is a BBC Studios production in Australia for Foxtel based on a format created by Love Productions and licensed by BBC Studios distribution.
