Andrew Smyth is a baker who appeared in Series 7 of The Great British Bake Off.

Andrew is originally from Northern Ireland but lives and works in Derby. The aerospace engineer and Northern Irish Cambridge University graduate designs jet engines for Rolls-Royce, so it is fitting that he pushes the boundaries of design in his ambitious bakes. When he isn’t baking, Andrew sings as a tenor for the Derby Bach Choir.

Andrew learned to bake from his mother and grandmother. His social media feeds are regularly updated with pictures of his latest bakes.
