It was a sweet victory for Jasmine.
After all, the medical student was crowed the winner of season 16 of the Great British Baking Show’s finale on Nov. 7.
The final leg of the Channel 4 competition, released as part of collection 13 on Netflix Nov. 7, saw Jasmine and fellow finalists Tom and Aaron facing off in the Signature (classic British iced finger buns), Technical (French Delights) and Showstopper (largest cake in Great British Baking Show history) challenges.
Jasmine’s win didn’t come without a few hiccups as judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith deemed her buns as being “too flat.” However, she redeemed herself with her showstopping cardamom sponge with raspberry, almond, lemon mascarpone, and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream cake.
And while her competition with Aaron and Tom was close, in the end the 23-year-old came out victorious.
“Oh my goodness I am just so overjoyed!” Jasmine exclaimed following her emotional win. “When I was in the middle of exams and trying to bake while I was trying to learn, it’s been so much. But I have done it and I am just so unbelievably happy and to have done it with such an awesome group of people.”
