Tonight, Tilly 12 from Oxfordshire won the coveted title of winner of the latest series of Junior Bake Off. Thousands applied, but only 16 made it through to the famous tent for the most exciting junior baking competition yet. Harry Hill was the host while judges Ravneet Gill and Liam Charles had the tough job of finding Junior Bake Off’s best young baker.
In the beginning, there were 16 junior bakers, some 'crumbled' and others rose to the challenge until there were just four remaining bakers: Annabelle, Ilhām, Max and Tilly each hoping to be crowned the winner of Junior Bake Off.
After two weeks of heats and a finals week, our finalist Junior Bakers entered the tent for the very last time, but it was to be Tilly who was crowned the winner of Junior Bake Off and who ultimately took home the trophy!
Over two separate heats, the junior bakers faced many challenges to showcase their culinary creativity and personalities. The first heat began with a tricky cartoon Technical and the bakers' creations of changing a 3D cake into a 2D comic delight, followed by time travel-themed cakes. Biscuit Day had Rav’s monster stuffed cookies, and the world’s greatest invention in biscuit form. Bread Day had Liam’s cinnamon snails and then the bakers had to create a desert island meal loaf. Pastry Day was Liam’s choux choux train and a popstar-themed portrait challenge. For Dessert Day the bakers were challenged to make Rav’s tutu pavlovas and then make their favourite animal in roulade form. The second heat of bakers managed to produce Liam’s mad-alien madeleines and then they showcased their fantasy dream home in cake form. For Biscuit Day they had to make Harry Hill biscuits and create a biscuit time capsule for their future selves. Bread Day was Rav’s hot cross bunnies and then a bread-ucational centrepiece. Pastry Day saw Rav’s invisible filling pies and then a tricky choux challenge paying homage to the bakers role models. For Dessert Day Liam sent the bakers into a spin with a crepe roll, and then they produced a meringue tart showcasing what the natural world has to offer.
During Finals week, the bakers made red velvet whoopee pies and a Thanksgiving cake in an American Day, followed by Rav’s doll house cakes in Toy Day and then making their favourite toys out of macarons. In Spooky Day they made Liam’s slime-filled cauldrons, and then a haunted gingerbread house. For Patisserie Day it was Rav’s cloud cake, followed by mini tartlets showcasing their favourite holidays.
In a very exciting final episode, where the stakes couldn’t be higher for the bakers, they had to make their last Technical Challenge of the series; Rav’s charlotte royale, followed by a cake fit for a Coronation!
The junior bakers battled it out in the iconic white tent aiming to bake their way to victory. After tough technical challenges and incredible showstoppers , it was Tilly who managed to win the final accolade. She mixed, whisked, frosted and beat her way to becoming the ultimate winner.
