About the baker
A little more of the person behind the handshake.
David Atherton won series 10 with a calm, thoughtful style and an interest in making bakes feel both clever and approachable. A health adviser with an international background, he became the first Bake Off winner to take the title without winning Star Baker during the series.
David Atherton baked on 10 (2019) of The Great British Bake Off. One Hollywood handshake is on file: Fancy custard pies/tartlets, Signature (5 / Roaring Twenties).
He also brings nursing, global health and a love of ceramics to his life beyond the tent.
