Great British Bake Off star Dawn Hollyoak sadly died this week, and fans visiting her Instagram page have seen that her final heartbreaking post from last year showed off her incredible baking skills.

Dawn, who was 61, appeared in the 2022 series of the Channel 4 show and was the sixth baker to leave the tent. Following her time on the cookery contest, she regularly posted photos of her creations on social media, including an amazing golf caddy and clubs cake she made for her son’s 30th birthday last summer, and a massive cake in the shape of a strawberry to celebrate Wimbledon fortnight in July last year.

Her final post was in August 2023, where she shared an image of a stunning cake in the shape of a lion’s head just a few days after she had returned from a holiday in Kefalonia.

Her caption read: “I’ve been a bit poorly since my lovely holiday but couldn’t resist posting a cake from my archive. Lion cake to wish our girls the very best of luck today. #womensfootball #lionesses.” The cake was a tribute to the England women’s football team who were playing in the World Cup Final on the day she posted the photo.
