Signature Bake
Testing the bakers’ personality, creative flair and baking ability, the main challenge here is to produce something cute, rustic and altogether home-made-looking. It’s in this test that the Bakers get to show off their tried-and-tested handcooked bites.
Technical Bake
This challenge separates the wheat from the chaff. Take one basic recipe, with the same ingredients and instructions, and ask our bakers to produce the finished product… sound easy? Well, any variation on the finished product will be a result of their own technical knowledge and experience – or lack of. Bakers are laid bare in this task and this is where the pressure’s really on in the Bake Off.
Showstopper Bake
The oven gloves are off in this final challenge where the bakers are able to showcase their depth of skill and talent. The complexities of this task call for a professional standard in taste and appearance. Are they up to it? The judges will be looking for the most impressive and elaborate creations – that better taste first-class too.

Series 1
In our first series, the search began for the country’s top home baker. Ten passionate cooks travelled the country, baking cakes in the Cotswolds, biscuits in Scotland, bread in Sandwich, puddings in Bakewell and pastry in Cornwall before a grand final in London. The series also traced the history of British baking: visiting local baking landmarks and discovering why we bake what we bake today. And the winner was Edward.
Series 2
Over eight weeks, 12 of the Britain’s best amateur bakers showcased their cake-baking, pastry- and bread-making and patisserie skills as they were challenged to make everything from the perfect tarte au citron to iced fingers and family pies. But only one could become Britain’s Best Amateur Baker. That was the icing on the cake! All the challenges were devised and judged by legendary cookery writer and baker Mary Berry and acclaimed Master Baker Paul Hollywood. The winner was Joanne.
Series 3
Over ten weeks, twelve of the country’s best amateur bakers faced challenges offered up by the King and Queen of baking, legendary cookery writer Mary Berry and Master Baker Paul Hollywood. Giving the bakers support whilst licking their mixing bowls clean were Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins who continued to host the proceedings. The Great British Bake Off returned for a third series with cakes, pies, breads and the odd kitchen disaster. The winner was John.
