Book IWD Speaker: Jasmine Mitchell
Winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025 & Advocate for Alopecia Awareness
Jasmine Mitchell’s rise from dedicated home baker to winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025 turned her into a household name, yet it is her presence, honesty, and quiet strength that make her a powerful choice for International Women’s Day. She stepped into Series 16 with a calm focus, then delivered one exceptional bake after another. Five Star Baker awards put her in the record books, matched by only one other contestant in the show’s history. Two Paul Hollywood handshakes confirmed her skill at the highest level. Viewers saw someone who worked with precision, pushed her craft, and stayed composed when the pressure built.
Her performance in the final showed the same mix of ambition and control. The technical round tested the bakers with iced finger buns and intricate French pastries. Jasmine held her nerve. Then came the showstopper challenge, which demanded the biggest cake in Bake Off history. She produced a 1.2-metre structure that combined careful engineering with light, balanced flavours, proving that creativity thrives when paired with discipline. It was the sort of bake that becomes a marker in the show’s timeline, a reference point for future contestants.
What truly set Jasmine apart was her willingness to be fully herself. Living with alopecia, she chose not to wear a wig, and her decision opened the door for a national conversation about identity and confidence. Many viewers saw their own experiences reflected in her. One young fan wrote online about baking at home without a wig for the first time after watching Jasmine on screen. Moments like that show the reach of her influence.
As a speaker, Jasmine brings a grounded voice shaped by resilience. She talks about navigating visibility, handling scrutiny, and building confidence through action. Her story resonates with audiences looking for real examples of courage. She shows that achievement grows from authenticity and that leadership can come from choosing the honest path, even when it feels vulnerable.
International Women’s Day celebrates women who shift perceptions and lift others with them. Jasmine does both. Her win was impressive, but her impact runs deeper. She connects through warmth, insight, and lived experience, making her a compelling speaker for any event seeking to inspire.
