The Great British Bake Off family came through for Candice Brown on her wedding day.
GBBO alum baked not just one but 12 special cakes for last weekends ceremony at Chateau de Varennes in Burgundy, France, where she wed fiance Liam Macaulay.
The TV cook, 33, even served up a nod to the 2016 series, which she won, with her trademark red stain saying she refused to go conservative for the bridal look.
Candice told Hello! magazine: There was no way I was going conservative on my wedding day.
The Bake Off star wore a strapless duchess satin gown by Monique Lhuillier from Browns Brides for the ceremony, teamed with jewelled Alexander McQueen shoes and a tartan Vivienne Westwood bag.
Tree surgeon Macaulay, who was born in Scotland, wore a bespoke Siobhan Mackenzie kilt in his familys tartan, while the groomsmen – including Browns Dancing On Ice professional partner Matt Evers – also wore kilts.
But the wedding party outfits were not the main focus of the day, as the centrepiece was the 12 cakes made by the contestants from Bake Off 2016.

They are such a big part of our lives, there was no way they were not going to be there for the wedding, Brown said.
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.
She said: We have always said we work better together than we do apart.
Being able to say we are now husband and wife is such a lovely thing.
