Omg yes! I am so glad that Sophie pulled through with that incredible entremet showstopper! She hasn't got the same big personality as Nadiya or Candice but she has been my overall favourite throughout the series and she really deserved it and looked humbled by it.

As soon as they cut into Sophie's showstopper it was pretty clear that she would win. Kate and Steven both looked as if they were thinking "How the hell did she do that?".

Delighted for Sophie! I wanted her to win and she did it - huzzah! :wub:

I would say Kate narrowly missed out, but I wasn't bothered who would win between Sophie and Kate. Steven's showstopper was a disaster, you could see it, by the mess of his showstopper.

 

I quite enjoyed this series to be honest, the new hosts were pretty on point, they grew on me throughout the series.

lmao poor Prue, this was all going just a bit too well for them wasn't it? x

 

Sophie wasn't a huge favourite, but definitely the correct winner in terms of best baker and her entremet looked stunning. Feel bad for Stephen as it was such a cool concept, perhaps he should just design bakes rather than make them? :kink:

I enjoyed the series as a whole, liked Prue, Sandi and Noel when I didnt think I'd warm to them but did. Winner feels a bit meh..but thats probably because of the acts she's following in Nadiya and Candice who just seem to shine on TV.

 

Candice has just been revealed to be a contestant on Dancing On Ice

Definitely he right winner even if I was spoiled by Prue :kink: Sophie was the best on the night for sure but also the most consistent across the series I think, she did well in pretty much every technical and never really had a bad week. I agree she doesn't have the same level of charm and natural screen presence as Candice and Nadiya but as a baker it definitely had to be her, plus sadly none of the finalists had that spark this time, although Kate was lovely.

Sophie was my second fave after Kate - so glad Smugen didn't win!!

 

Wish Kate woulda won though as the dark horse!!

One of the technical challenges in the French version this year was Jaffa cakes. It doesn't seem to have gone terribly well.
