Maisam was the second contestant to be axed from The Great British Bake Off on Tuesday, following a few fumbles with timing during a closely fought week.
After Will was booted in week one for overbaking, the youngest baker in this series, at just 18, Maisam struggled to get her bakes completed to the standard she hoped for.
Her ‘cute carrot’ macrons lacked piping detail as she rushed to complete them in the alloted time, while her showstopper bake was also criticised for not being as detailed as it could have been.
Paul Hollywood gave out two handshakes during the first signature challenge, which was to produce 18 identical macrons presented to look like something else, with Dawn and Maxy’s bakes impressing most and earning them each the first handshakes of the series.
The second challenge was for the contestants to produce Garibaldi biscuits and proved a difficult task for many.
Someone had to come last, and unfortunately it was Abdul, who Prue Leith bluntly told his biscuits ‘looked a mess’.

The top three spots were taken by Sandro, who impressed but used too much chocolate, James in second and a shocked Rebs first with her ‘perfect’ example.
The showstopper caused a lot of issues to the bakers too, with Rebs in trouble with her biscuit mask, having to start from scratch, while Carole had a big issue after her mask snapped with just minutes to go – leading to a few tears.

Maxy emerged as the star baker this week, following hot on the heels of her handshake, as there was little fault to be found with anything she produced.
Ultimately though it was Maisam that the judges opted to send home, with the teenager clearly a little shocked and disappointed.
However, she also shared how proud she was of her progress and vowed it wouldn’t be the end of her baking journey.

‘I’m only 18 so at this age, I’ve done something to be proud of,’ she said.
‘This is not the end of my baking journey. This is where it starts.’
The Great British Bake Off returns next Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4 and is available to watch on All 4.
