Channel 4's First Series of The Great British Bake-Off Concludes 
Channel 4's inaugural series of the treasured British classic baking program, The Great British Bake-Off, has come to a close. The finale saw three contestant Steven Carter-Bailey, Sophie Faldo, and Kate Lyon compete for the title of Britain's Best Baker. The bakers were asked to complete a bread signature, a biscuit technical, and a entremet showstopper. After a close finish, Sophie eventually took home the cake stand. Bake-Off judge Prue Leith may have spoiled the surprise though, when she accidentally tweeted out the winner hours before the program aired. Channel 4 acquired the rights to Bake-Off last year after the BBC lost the program due to funding.
