The Great British Bake Off (or The Great British Baking Show if you are in the US) is over for another season, and what a season it has been. We've had baking disasters and amazing masterpieces — but in the end it was Syabira who was crowned The Great British Bake Off winner of 2022 after going head-to-head with Abdul and Sandro in the final.
Here's everything you need to know about The Great British Bake Off 2022 winner Syabira Yusoff...
Who is Syabira from The Great British Bake Off?
Syabira Yusoff was born in Malaysia as one of seven children! She is a cardiovascular research assistant and moved to London in 2013 to study for her Ph.D.
She's now settled down happily with her boyfriend Bradley and to relax after a hard day in the lab she loves gaming. Her fave games are World War 2 simulations which she says have taught her a lot about leadership in the real world — perhaps we'll see some of those lessons come in handy in the tent!
Syabira only started baking in 2017 when she made a red velvet cake for friends. Now she's always in the kitchen and loves using Malaysian flavors in her bakes and adding a Malaysian twist to British classics. Her chicken rendang Cornish pasties are a particular favorite!

The Great British Bake Off 2022 crowned Syabira the winner after she went head-to-head with Abdul and Sandro in the final. The trio were asked to assemble the perfect picnic for the signature challenge and create a Summer Pudding Bombe for the technical. For the final challenge, the bakers had to make a sculpture in line with the theme of Our Beautiful Planet, with Syabira impressing the judges with an orangutang which she named This Is My Home. Speaking about why Syabira won the series judge Prue Leith said: "She is creative and she is careful, she practices like anything and she is imaginative, she just has the lot. She is a very skillful baker."
