Jasmine Mitchell Wins Great British Bake Off 2025 After Record 1.2-Metre Showstopper

Judge praise for her season-long consistency has fueled debate about whether only the final should decide the title.

Overview

  • Channel 4 crowned the 23-year-old medical student the Series 16 champion, with Paul Hollywood calling her “the best winner we’ve seen for a while.”
  • The finale’s centerpiece challenge required the largest cake in show history at 1.2 metres, which Jasmine delivered as an elaborate table cake.
  • Despite Tom Arden topping the technical and producing a standout showstopper, the judges awarded the title to Jasmine.
  • Across the series she earned five Star Baker titles and two Hollywood handshakes, joining a select group to reach five Star Bakers.
  • Reaction online was split, with many applauding her consistency and others arguing Tom was “robbed” based on final-day performance.
