Dave Friday
Security guard Dave managed to secure his place in the final from his consistently great bakes - even though he began baking relatively late in life.
His baking style is described as “innovative and imaginative” while his strengths lie in bread – including pretzels, brioche rolls, and baguettes – as well as decoration.
