Twitter Reacted Fabulously to the Return of The Great British Bake Off

Twitter Reacted Fabulously to the Return of The Great British Bake Off
By Fiona Flynn  | Aug 6, 2015

It's that time of year again when a dozen amateur bakers don their baking hats (or fedoras, as the case may be) and compete to be crowned The Great British Bake Off champ. Last night was the opening episode of what will inevitably be a drama-filled, innuendo driven, cake-breaking few weeks, and as usual, some of the best craic in watching was in following the reaction of viewers unfold on the old Twitter machine.

You're a funny bunch, you lot. Here are your best tweets!

First off, we met the contestants, and viewers were more than fascinated with Stu and that hipster hat of his;

He also made a beetroot cake (yep - beetroot and cake - TOGETHER.)

It wasn't all about Stu though, people (ahem, we) were also quite taken with this fireman fella

While the show was as innuendo filled as ever...

There was some actual baking too of course, although things didn't quite work out as planned for one lady.

That disaster did not send her home though, and it was Stu with the fedora who got the chop.

And that was it for another week! Anything we've missed? Did you follow the Bake Off Adventure on Twitter? Did you follow our Bake Off Adventure on Twitter?
