Amal, Aleena, Eliza and Fin made it through to the Junior Bake Off 2019 final.

While Amal crafted a giant cupcake, Aleena baked three huge cakes in the shape of the Junior Bake Off initials (JBO).

Eliza was adventurous as always and made a huge 12 tier cake with different coloured layers. However, it wasn’t enough for her to steal the win.

Fin created a genoise sponge as his Junior Bake Off trophy cake. Judge Liam Charles said: “To do all of that, Swiss meringue, three different types of flavours in three hours… smashed it mate.”
