The Winner Bakes It All

Author: Bake With A Legend October 30, 2019 Duration: 1:13:01

Whilst we loved the final, it's tinged with sadness as GBBO is over for another year. What a wonderful bunch of bakers overall and a well deserved champion now reigns. We look back on the series, Jane's memories of being in the final, and of course at this week in particular, with ultimate chocolate cakes, twice baked stilton soufflés and then some extraordinary deceptive feasts in the form of picnic baskets for us to analyse.
