Great British Bake Off

After 10 wonderful episodes, we will now be left without our baking fix on a Tuesday evening.   Following a very tight final which could quite frankly have gone anyway, a very deserving John was crowned as the Great British Bake Off winner 2012.  

Finalist - Brenda

Finalist - James

Winner
Congratulations John

Of course as well as the baking, the real highlight of the show is hearing what the judges are going to say about the delights they taste...

The Radio Times called the show "an irresistible combination of muscle and marzipan" which I think about sums it up.
