Rosie Bowness Clarke was the first to complete the biscuit challenge with wagon wheels, while Brody Cruickshank and Lucy Flaherty created a blueberry and lime drizzle tray bake for the signature challenge.
Rosie admits burning the midnight oil during her baking and missing the show in the process.
“No-one was allowed to tell me what happened until I watched it on catch-up TV the following night,” she said.
The team whipped up 11 creations during the last series, ranging from cardamom and blueberry buns to chocolate mousse cake.
