Starting the season with twelve new bakers, just three remain as they head into the finale of The Great Australian Bake Off, airing Thursday March 31 at 8.30pm on Foxtel.
Under the watchful eyes of judges Maggie Beer and Matt Moran and hosts Claire Hooper and Mel Buttle, the trio will compete one last time in the hopes of winning the crown.
The final three are:
Aaron Hawton (31) An English/Drama teacher and rugby player for the Melbourne Chargers, Melbourne’s gay and inclusive rugby team, Aaron fell in love with baking as a boy while spending time with his nan in the kitchen. Aaron really took up baking as a teenager and is described as a baking all-rounder.
Ella Rossanis (36) Perth born, and Sydney based, Ella is a creative copywriter and mum of three. Ella is used to cooking under time pressure and tries to make all of her bakes spectacular and creative to the core. In the Shed, Ella has been known for illusion baking inspired by her children.
Nurman Noor (35) A GP, born in Indonesia and now calls Tasmania home, Nurman started baking at age eight and rediscovered his love of baking during his first year of medical school. Nurman sees baking as his creative outlet and is never without his trademark hat – you know things are getting serious when he takes it off.
Maggie Beer said: “I have loved seeing them grow and blossom as bakers and I am so thrilled with our final three.”
Matt Moran said: “Out of all the finals we have done, it is so even, and we have three fantastic bakers, all have won star baker twice, but only one of them can win and it is a very even keel.”
Having tackled French, bread, biscuit and cake weeks to name a few and having survived Matt and Maggie’s technical challenges every week, Aaron, Ella and Nurman will have to pull out all their baking skills to take it to the next level with their three final bakes in the grand finale.
