16 Triumphant Bakers: Where Is The Great British Bake Off Winner Jasmine Mitchell Now?
The Great British Bake Off (GBBO), known as The Great British Baking Show in the US, crowned its newest champion in a tense and spectacular final, marking the end of its 16th series. As of December 22, 2025, the newest titleholder to walk away with the coveted engraved glass cake stand is the phenomenal baker, Jasmine Mitchell. Her victory cemented her place in the show's history, not just for her consistent baking excellence, but for one spectacular, record-breaking creation.

Her journey was defined by a rare combination of technical precision and creative flair, earning her high praise throughout the competition.

The Showstopper That Made History: Inside the 2025 Final
The final of Series 16 was one of the most nail-biting in GBBO history, pushing the three finalists—Jasmine Mitchell, Tom Arden, and Aaron Mountford-Myles—to their absolute limits. The challenges were designed to test every facet of their baking skills, from precise execution to grand, imaginative design.
The final consisted of three challenges: the Signature Bake, the Technical Challenge, and the all-important Showstopper Challenge. While the Technical Challenge proved tricky for all the contestants, it was the Showstopper that ultimately sealed Jasmine's victory.
The Record-Breaking Showstopper
For the final Showstopper, the brief was to create a monumental, multi-tiered celebration cake that reflected their journey and personality. Jasmine chose to construct a towering, 1.2-metre-high cake, making it the largest showstopper ever attempted in the show’s 16-year history.
The scale of the cake was a huge risk, but her flawless execution and complex flavour profile—reportedly inspired by her Scottish and London roots—wowed both Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. Paul Hollywood, known for his harsh critiques, called the cake "a masterpiece of engineering and taste," a comment that immediately signalled her inevitable win.
