Get to know the baker.
The Great British Bake Off concludes tonight (Tuesday 4th November) with an exciting but tough final set of challenges as the remaining three bakers fight for the chance to be crowned the winner.
Amongst the final three bakers is Aaron, whose personal highlight in the tent was hearing the comments from the judges.
"Hearing some of the judges comments was just so rewarding, especially when you have a vision of how something should taste and they relay that back to you, it's so validating," he explained.
"Knowing that the DAME Prue Leith could see some of my bakes in a patisserie window is high praise. But the pinnacle may just be walking out of the tent post Showstopper to see my friends and family waiting and cheering for me, it was just epic."
With the final just hours away, what else is there to know about Aaron? Read on to learn more about The Great British Bake Off 2025 contestant.
Age: 38
Location: London
Job: Senior systems architect
Aaron is a 38-year-old senior systems architect living in London with his boyfriend Anthony. He made the move from Manchester two years ago.
A passionate baker, Aaron fuses French patisserie with Caribbean flair, and is currently using Asian flavours like miso and yuzu in his mono-portion bakes.
After Aaron applied for the show, he began to feel as though he wouldn't be accepted, and when he found out he'd be on season 16, he didn't get "too excited" as "a lot can change between that call and filming".
"I was at home working when I got the call," he said. "Anthony was eavesdropping and crying before I even got the chance to tell him."
When Aaron isn't baking, he is usually cycling around the city, teaching himself French, lifting weights at the gum or studying for a Master's in Computer Science and Data Analytics.
According to Aaron, he feels he has "a good knowledge of baking and good flavours" but finds that his weakness is "second guessing, especially when I don't have the time to do it over".
The Great British Bake Off continues on Channel 4 on Tuesday 4th November at 8pm.
