Steph Blackwell

Former shop assistant, Steph Blackwell, took the 2019 Great British Bake Off series by storm. She wowed judges with her showstoppers, from cakes to pies there seemed to be nothing that Steph couldn't create. Now a popular celebrity chef, event host and after dinner speaker, she uses her platform to promote mental health acceptance and continue her love of cooking. She values tradition and health, which make her recipes ideal for wellbeing festivals, corporate events and private parties. Steph readily admits in interviews that prior to Bake Off, she struggled with mental health illness. She uses her platform to shed light on eating disorders, as she feels a responsibility to those who may be suffering.

In the beginning, Steph used baking as a therapeutic method of recovery, but after watching the spin-off show, Extra Slice, she auditioned for GBBO. Despite the challenges, she proved time and time again how much she deserved to be on the show, mainly through her showstoppers.

As well as gaining baking skills, Steph also developed as a person on the show. From remaining calm under pressure, adapting to challenges to formulating a plan, her newfound skills are invaluable to audiences. Both corporate and public clients alike benefit from her honesty and integrity. If her baking skill is not enough, Steph's onstage charisma and authenticity firmly secure her as a talented entertainer, popular on the speaking circuit. From baking bread with her grandfather at a young age to earning star baker four times on The Great British Bake Off 2019, Steph has come on leaps and bounds. The ideal celebrity chef, her demonstrations keep audiences hooked on her technical skill and likeable personality. If you are looking for event entertainment, then look no further.
