The Final

Baking challenge. The final has arrived and just three challenges lie between the remaining three bakers and the trophy. Each baker is worthy, but who will be crowned winner?

It's the final... from thousands of applicants just 12 bakers made it to the tent, and now only three remain. Having fought their way through 27 baking challenges and proved they can master every baking discipline known to man, the remaining three bakers have just one more weekend of baking to tackle. Just three challenges lie between them and the trophy.

And what a trio of challenges they are. A signature challenge that requires the mastery of a classic pastry technique that normally takes a day - in just three hours; a technical challenge that tests them beyond everything they have tackled in the previous nine weeks by requiring them to master the basics - with no recipe, and a final show-stopper challenge that demands delivery of perfect sponge, caramel, choux pastry and petit four in their final five hours in the Bake Off tent.

Each one is worthy, but who will be crowned winner of the Great British Bake Off?

For the final time, on your marks, get set... bake!
