Louise Williams said she was "disappointed I didn't get my chance to shine" as she crumbled under the pressure of biscuit week.
It was not a lovely day for a white wedding in the baking tent as her gingerbread church fell apart in the final seconds of the Showstopper challenge, leaving her presenting two heaps of sticky biscuit to judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood and securing her exit from the competition.
The bake - which she classed as an "A1 disaster" - has left a bitter taste in the Cardiff hairdresser's mouth as she approaches her own wedding to fiance Simon next year, with Louise vowing, "I won't be making a gingerbread cake."
The 46-year-old, who bakes for charity coffee mornings, said: "I was disappointed, because I didn't get my chance to shine.
"My real passion is bread, I bake it all the time, but my weakness as a baker is biscuits, so I am sorry that Paul didn't get to taste my speciality - focaccias.
"I would repeat it all in a heartbeat. How could you not enjoy the feeling of being in the tent?"
Biscuits proved a trying task for this year's bakers, with keep-fit fan Val's Statue of Liberty Showstopper also collapsing at the last-minute, and student Michael's Lapland scene dubbed "Santa's workshop from Hell".
Candice was awarded Star Baker after wowing the judges with her family pub recreated in gingerbread and even syrupy ginger cake for the sticky carpet.
