Nancy crowned winner of The Great British Bake off 2014 Final with her Windmill cake recipe

Nancy Birtwhistle wins The Great British Bake off 2014 Final with her Windmill cake recipe in the show-stopper challenge.

After a night that saw the the last 3 contestants French Viennoiserie for the last signature challenge, 12 mini tartes au citron, 12 mini Victoria sponges, and 12 mini scones for their technical challenge, it came down to the show-topper to decide between the three finalist.

The 60-year-old grandmother-of-eight used a hand-crafted ‘drainpipe tool’ to help mould her brandy snap as she became the oldest ever winner of the BBC show.
