About the baker
A little more of the person behind the handshake.
Frances Quinn won series 4 with a design-led approach to baking: her creations are playful, highly visual and packed with flavour. She was a clothes designer by day when she entered the tent, and has since built a baking career around collaborations, creative cakes and her book Quinntessential Baking.
Frances Quinn baked on 4 (2013) of The Great British Bake Off. One Hollywood handshake is on file: 36 canapés: choux tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower-cheese scones, Signature (9 / French semifinal).
Her series-winning handshake came for a spectacular spread of 36 canapés.
