Great British Bake Off star Steven Carter-Bailey shows off his showstopper cakes on Instagram… and they’ll have his fellow bakers running scared
THE Great British Bake Off's Steven Carter-Bailey has showed off his incredible showstopper cakes on Instagram - and they're sure to intimidate his fellow bakers.
Steven had an incredible start to the series when his incredible creations earned him the title of Star Baker and also got him the first handshake from Paul Hollywood.
However, the marketing boss had plenty of practice before entering the tent as he already makes professional looking cakes for his friends and family.
Some of his impressive creations include an amazing Chanel bag, a Minion, SpongeBob Squarepants and a towering flower adorned wedding cake.
Steven, who works in marketing, not only impressed the judges on the baking show but his pals are huge fans as well.
Underneath the snap of the Chanel cake, his pal wrote: "I can't deal with this. This looks more like Chanel, than my Chanel looks like Chanel!"
Someone else wrote: "Now this looks like a handbag!".
Another amazing cake was a flower pot with daisies in it and he also made an incredible Plants Vs Zombies themed creation.
Steven quickly became the favourite to win the show after he immediately impressed the judges - and the viewers - with some astonishing showstopper cakes during Tuesday night's episode.
The baker wowed with a Bonfire Night inspired sponge with toffee apples and even got a handshake from Paul in just the first round.

He also impressed them with his illusion cake which was a loaf of bread and a sandwich which Paul said was "stunning".
Prue added:" Absolutely astonishing, you wouldn't think that wasn't bread would you?"
It was actually a chocolate hazelnut sponge with peanut butter frosting which Paul said was "perfect".
Sandi said: "Bakers, it is my tremendous privilege to announce the very first star baker.
"The star baker is the person whose show stopper was honestly the best thing since sliced bread. The star baker is Steven."
Steven then phoned his mum, who taught him how to bake, to tell her the good news.
He welled up as he revealed that Paul also shook his hand.
She cried: "Oh darling, I'm so proud of you!"
- GBBO continues next Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4
