The Great British Bake Off is back with a fresh batch of bakers all ready to show the nation what they can whip up in the kitchen, including Dawn. But who will be cooking up a storm in the famous white Bake Off tent, and who will be suffering from a soggy bottom? 

Dawn is one of the 12 bakers from The Great British Bake Off 2022 (or The Great British Baking Show if you are in the US!) and here is everything you need to know about her... 

Who is Dawn from the Great British Bake Off?

Dawn is an IT Manager from Bedfordshire who lives with her partner, Trevor (who very kindly tidies up the kitchen after her!) and is a mother of three children, step-mother to two and a gran/step-gran to four.

She's an artist in and out of the kitchen and loves the challenge of a baking an impossible-sounding illusion cake. 

In order to express her creative talent, Dawn favours whacky and intricate designs and prides herself on her steady hand and attention to detail — which is especially handy when it comes to creating intricate lace patterns on biscuits.

Her favourite flavours are lemon, salted caramel and anything nutty!

How old is Dawn from The Great British Bake Off? 

Dawn is 60 and loves showing off her artistic skills through baking.
