Former Great British Bake Off champion Candice Brown has revealed her former co-stars created 12 special cakes for her wedding day.

Brown, who won the series in 2016, married partner Liam Macaulay last weekend at Chateau de Varennes in Burgundy, France.

The TV cook has since told how she has become close friends with her fellow contestants, including Selasi Gbormittah, Andrew Smyth and Val Stones, who curated the 12-cake centrepiece for the occasion.

She told Hello! magazine: "There will never be another wedding-cake table like that - there was enough to feed about 300 people.

"They are such a big part of our lives, there was no way they were not going to be there for the wedding.”

The TV cook, 33, wore a strapless duchess satin gown by Monique Lhuillier from Browns Brides for the ceremony and paired the look with her trademark bright red lipstick as she walked down the aisle.

She said: “There was no way I was going conservative on my wedding day."

Macaulay said Brown "completely took my breath away" on the day, and Brown said she is thrilled to now be married to her long-term partner.
