THE BEST PASTRY MASTER 2022. As the season 11 finale of The Best Pastry Chef airs this Wednesday, December 7, did you know that two candidates had found love on set?
[Mis à jour le 7 décembre 2022 à 20h50] End clap tonight for The Best Pastry Chef. The final of the M6 competition is broadcast this Wednesday, December 7 at 9:10 p.m. While viewers will finally know who of Manon, Benjamin and Nils will be crowned big winner of the 2022 season, they may not know that two candidates for this eleventh edition have found love during filming.
Two candidates for the Best Pastry Chef 2022 have announced that they are in a relationship. And one of them is runner-up Benjamin, who fell in love with Adelina. The information was revealed in the columns of Ciné Télé Revue on November 23. Benjamin even moved to Toulouse to settle in Belgium with Adelina. “We were warned that The Best Pastry Chef was going to change our lives, but we never thought it would be this way,” announced the candidate who was eliminated last week on her Instagram account. We were very far from imagining that a meeting under this tent would change our lives…” If Benjamin wins the final, he will really have won everything thanks to the Best Pastry Chef.

The Best Pastry Chef is currently presented by Mary Portolano, after having been presented in the past by Julia Vignali (2017-2020) and Faustine Bollaert (2012-2017).
