The Great British Bake Off has crowned many winners since its debut on BBC Two in 2010, and the show has managed to entice viewers worldwide thanks to its popularity on Netflix.

Fans instantly fell in love with the endearing contestants, accomplished judges — including Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood (and later Prue Leith) — as well as several wisecracking hosts such as Sue Perkins and Noel Fielding.

Aside from popularizing terms like traybake and Victoria sponge, the show has forever altered the culinary sphere and minted accomplished bakers including its first-ever champion Edd Kimber. Kimber left his day job at a bank after his 2010 win and hasn’t looked back since.

“I always say that [my life] changed in every way that I could want it to change, in a nice way. I had a job before that I didn’t really like and I kind of felt very stuck in a rut,” he told Yorkshire Life after his win in August 2015. “So, doing the show for me was only ever about trying to somehow make baking into a career and into a life. Obviously, the main thing is that I have been able to do that everyday since. I have been offered amazing opportunities.”
