Overview
- The 2025 finale aired on Channel 4 on Nov. 4, with the cake stand awarded after a 1.2‑metre table‑cake showstopper in a storm‑hit tent.
- The three finalists were Jasmine Mitchell, Tom Arden and Aaron Mountford-Myles after a 10‑week run judged by Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
- Early critiques from outlets including The Times and the i described the episode as close yet largely foregone, with some calling the tone unusually harsh.
- In recent commentary to The Sporkful podcast, Paul Hollywood responded to Ruby Tandoh’s New Yorker critique by stressing that the series is pleasant but fundamentally a competition focused on the bake.
- U.S. viewers are due to see the finale on Netflix on Nov. 7, following its U.K. broadcast on Channel 4.
