Who were the other Junior Bake Off finalists?
Lola, 9
Lola lives in Lancashire and has one older sister as well as a pet dog Luna and two rabbits.
In her free time, she also enjoys ballroom dancing so much that you’ll rarely catch her without her dancing shoes on.
Lola was inspired by her dad’s pastry and bread making but her own style is chocolate all the time.
She loves ginger and baking cakes that have lots of sweetness and colourful designs, reflecting her smiley personality.
Aisya, 12
Aisya lives in Manchester and her earliest baking memories are with her mum, who taught her how to make Malaysian curry puffs.
She loves to incorporate her heritage into her baking, using flavours and ingredients not seen before in the Junior Bake Off tent.
Aisya even picks up tips from her Malaysian grandmother who she video calls often.
Fraser, 15
Fraser lives in York and has two younger sisters.
He has a strong knowledge of ingredients and a culinary maturity that belies his age.
Fraser is also a keen gardener, often growing a variety of in-season vegetables to use in his recipes.
He also loves foraging and finding unique flavours to incorporate into his baking.
What does the winner of Junior Bake Off get?
Like the main Great British Bake Off, there isn’t a big cash prize for winning the show.
The winner takes home the special glass cake stand trophy and the honour of being the best on the series.
As well as no cash prize up for grabs, the contestants also don’t get paid.
For the main show, the contestants have to pay for their own ingredients during the audition process – but they do get an "allowance" if they make it to the tent itself.
