Well obviously, the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2016 is Candice. In practical terms, it always was going to be.

So, 350 years after London burned down when a fire began in a bakers, things heat up in the Bake Off tent. The contestants have a (bakers) dozen problems, but a brioche ain’t one. It’s Bread Week, and as Paul sombrely tells us, the Star Baker of Bread Week has always gone on to the … >
Week 2 in the Bake Off tent, and the remaining contestants have to risk it with their biscuits to have a chance of winning the title of Star Baker.
