A YOUNG baker from South Gloucestershire has made it through to the final week of Junior Bake Off.
Tom O, 15, is down to the final eight contestants, with the final of the Channel 4 spin-off show set to air later this week.
Taught to bake at eight-years-old by his mum and grandma, Tom’s colourful and flamboyant style caught the judges eye and put him safely through the heats.
His strengths lie with intricate techniques that have seen him making macarons, palmiers and beignets.
Tom’s most impressive bake to date is a grand piano cake complete with fondant piano keys, while he has also impressed with his sweet and sour stir-fry pies.
Junior Bake Off is on Channel 4 at 5pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
