This is when the final of Great British Bake Off takes place - and Laura, Peter and Dave’s best bakes

Season 11 of The Great British Bake Off will air on television next week, with three contestants battling it out to be crowned the King or Queen of British Baking 2020.

This year has seen a number of changes to the popular programme, with Noel Fielding co-presenting with Matt Lucas - as Sandi Toksvig hung up her apron in 2019.

Due to coronavirus, the 120-strong crew, cast and presenters - including GBB original Paul Holywood and restaurateur Prue Leith - isolated as one big bubble for the duration of the programme.

So who has made it to the final and what are the stand out bakes that got them there? Here is what you need to know ahead of the final.

Who are the finalists?

The remaining three bakers in the tent are Peter Sawkins, Dave Friday, and Laura Adlington.

Peter, 20, rightfully told Paul Holywood during bread week that “the Bake Off has been on for half my lifetime” - yet he has managed to impress the judges every week and won star baker in the quarter finals.

Baking isn’t his only talent - the Edinburgh University Student is currently studying towards a degree in Accounting and Finance which may be why he deems his strengths to be “time management and planning”.

Despite claiming his weaknesses are “artistic decoration and bread baking”, he has wowed the judges since week one when he was first crowned star baker - the only baker to earn the title twice this season.

Hampshire born Dave recently welcomed his first child into the world with his girlfriend Stacey.

The 30-year-old from Hampshire has been praised by the judges for his growth in confidence, as the new dad admitted he was exceptionally nervous about being on the show, adding: “It was a dream come true walking in on that first morning”.
