Know Your GBBS History: Finals Week

Our latest series runs down the truth behind the popular bakes featured on The Great British Baking Show. This week: The Finals!

Finals Week

The Great British Baking Show has always ended with a tea party, though the size and scale of the parties have grown over the years it's been on the air. This was the first season where the party had grown to a size where a cake was assigned as the showstopper to serve guests, the prior two seasons the showstoppers were petit four trays. (This is partly why the petit four challenge was part of last week's semi-final.) Post Season 3, there would be a cake as the Finals showstopper all the way through to Season 7, when they did a "Royal Picnic" instead.
