When is the Great British Bake Off 2021 final?

It is likely that the grand final of the Great British Bake Off will take place on Tuesday 23rd November.

Last year, the final saw the youngest ever Bake Off winner take home the crown in the form of Peter Sawkins, who beat Laura Adlington and Dave Friday to the prize.

The signature task saw the finalists creating identical custard slices, despite it being one of the hottest days of the year.

The technical challenge of Walnut whirls also caused some problems in the heat as Peter’s marshmallow sagged instead of sitting up straight in a stiff peak.

It was actually Dave who came who came first in the last technical of the series.

Prue and Paul didn’t make things easy for the contestants when they set the showstopper challenge as a ‘dessert tower’.

While Laura created a Rainbow Dessert Tower, Peter showed off his Bonkers Bake Off Bubble Cake complete with choux buns.

Dave recreated bakes that hadn’t gone well for him in the past and impressed the judges.

But after he was announced as the winner by hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas, Peter said: ”I can’t quite believe that I’m here. ‘This is gonna be a really huge chapter in my life, and what a way for it to end.”
