The winner of The Great British Bake Off 2023 was Matty Edgell, a 28-year-old PE teacher from Cambridgeshire. He was crowned champion after a tense final held on November 28, 2023, where he competed against finalists Dan and Josh. Matty impressed the judges with his buttercream three-tiered celebration cake showstopper, which judge Paul Hollywood described as "absolutely delicious" and one of the best cakes he had tasted in a long time. Matty had initially considered himself an underdog but won the title and the hearts of viewers with his talent and dedication throughout the competition. His journey on the show was challenging, with many ups and downs, but his performance in the final secured his victory as a worthy winner.
