Who won Star Baker on The Great British Bake Off 2022? All the season 13 champs
Here's who was crowned Star Baker in Week 8, also known as Pastry Week!
It wouldn't be Tuesday without another episode of The Great British Bake Off and tonight (November 8th 2022), it was the semi-finals.
This week saw the four remaining contestants in the Great British Bake Off 2022 line-up take on three more challenges in a bid to bag a spot in next week's final.
Set by judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, the bakers were tasked with making mini Charlottes, a vertically-challenging Technical and a Swedish Showstopper.
And luckily for one contestant, it was as easy as pie as they won Star Baker. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for the contestant who left Bake Off this week, however.

Maxy was this week's Star Baker.
For the second episode, presenters Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas returned to lead the latest batch of 11 bakers through brand new challenges set by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
First up were illusion macarons, followed by garibaldi biscuits. For the final challenge, the bakers' creativity was really put to the test as they were tasked with making a 3D mask made only from biscuits, and Maxy certainly pulled out all the stops with her creation.
At the end of the episode, Matt announced that she was the Star Baker, while Noel had the hard job of revealing who would be going home.
Maxy is a 29-year-old architectural assistant from London. She was raised in Sweden and attributes her favourite flavours – cinnamon and saffron – to her Scandinavian upbringing.

Janusz was the first Star Baker for season 13.
For the final Showstopper, the bakers got a chance to show off their architectural skills as they created a scaled down version of a home close to their hearts entirely from sponge, and Janusz certainly impressed, with his "Home Is Where The Flowers Grow" cake.
"I love it - the colour and the vibrancy!" Prue gushed upon first glance.
"The decoration and the pipe work, you've done an amazing job," Paul added.
The judges' feelings didn't change after tasting the cake either, with Prue saying through a mouthful of cake: "It is utterly delicious. Just the right amount of spice."
