Jasmine Mitchell

Jasmine Mitchell captured the hearts of the nation when she was crowned the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025. Taking the Series 16 title ahead of finalists Tom Arden and Aaron Mountford-Myles, Jasmine impressed judges and viewers alike with her precision, creativity, and calm confidence under pressure.

Throughout the competition, Jasmine became one of the most successful bakers in Bake Off history, securing an extraordinary five Star Baker awards – a record achieved by only one other contestant before her. Her technical skill and flair for flavour consistently set her apart, earning her two coveted Paul Hollywood handshakes along the way.

In the final, Jasmine was pushed to her limits with a series of complex challenges, including iced finger buns and delicate French pastries in the technical round. For the showstopper, contestants were challenged to make the biggest cake in Bake Off history – with Jasmine making a stunning 1.2-metre masterpiece that perfectly showcased her artistry and ambition.

Her openness struck a chord with millions, sparking important conversations about confidence, identity, and representation on national television.

Since her win, Jasmine has continued to inspire as both a baker and an advocate. Her journey from passionate home baker to Bake Off champion stands as a celebration of resilience, creativity, and self-belief – reminding others that true success lies not just in perfection, but in embracing who you are.
