It's been a truly wild experience watching The Great British Bake Off during a pandemic, but all the bakers got through it...even if they were melting the entire time. Here are some of the best tweets from the finale:
1.
Bake off contestants: "Can't we just have air con in here?" Director: "No" "Why not" "For the tension" "But this isn't how baking works" "I will start a fire in here too if you don't bake" "but the chocolate" "Shut up" #GBBO

Prue: Use your fridges Laura: #GBBO

I think a lot of us can heavily relate, this year, to crying with our head in the fridge. #GBBO

A Noel Fielding pep talk is the antidote to this year we didn’t know we needed #gbbo

So, we’re all agreed, Noel should be put up for a sainthood? #GBBO #GBBOFinal

Imagine the iconic looks we’d have from Lottie in the final of Bake Off. Such a shame. #GBBO #GBBOFinal

Not gonna lie I got more than a little teary-eyed at the mini film at the end- 2020 has been a dumpster fire but #GBBO has ever been a little oasis of calm in the middle of it all. Thanks to all the crew who made it happen.

Went from a solid emotional keel to BAWLING at that montage? Rowan making waistcoats? Lottie visiting Marc and his kids? Peter's family's reaction? Dave's gorgeous new baby? IN. BITS. #GBBO #GBBOFinal

Bake Off could have easily skipped this year... ..but they didn't. Instead the production team, catering, hotel staff and the cast self-isolated for a week and then bubbled *for weeks* so that the show could air. A huge commitment, for a show we really needed #GBBO
21. And finally:
I’m so emotional (surprise surprise). How beautiful was that ending!? I can’t believe it’s over. I feel so blessed & so incredibly proud of everyone who managed to make it happen. Huge congratulations Peter! Lottie and I clocked you as our winner from day one!!! #GBBOFinal #GBBO
