Our trio of remaining bakers - Aaron, Jasmine, and Tom - will be seriously put through their paces during the last week of series 16. It wouldn’t be a GBBO final if it didn’t push them to the limit!
The preview, via Radio Times, reads: “The three finalists bake a classic British iced bun in the signature, a tower of French delights in the technical and for their showstopper take on the challenge of making the largest ever cake in Bake Off history.
“As ever, Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding encourage the bakers, while judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith taste their efforts - but only one can be crowned winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025.”
