In a season unlike any other, competing under lockdown in \"a bakeoff bubble\" due to COVID-19 precautions, Sawkins said even his roommates didn't know how the finale was going to play out.
\"My flatmates did not know -- it just made the whole experience more fun cause I could watch with them in the flat and they had the excitement of not knowing whether I stayed or left. Then we had big cheers in the final when they were relieved to see me win it.\"
Sawkins said that even amid quarantine the competitors \"had a great time -- there was so much energy, the crew was amazing -- we all had a blast.\"

Peter Sawkins' 2-Ingredient Chocolate Ganache used 3 ways
Sawkins shared his simple chocolate ganache that can be used as frosting, rolled into truffles or glazed on a cake.
\"What you've done is changed a really simple pound cake into -- but it's two ingredients and super simple to do.\"
Ingredients
1 cup scalding heavy cream
5 ounces semisweet chocolate
Directions
Heat the cream on the stovetop in a saucepan until it just about boils.
Add in semisweet chocolate and stir together until smooth.
Can be used while still warm and fairly liquid to glaze a cake.
It can be left at room temperature to cool then piped as frosting.
Or refrigerate the ganache and once firm, scoop and form rolled truffles.
