Bake Off winner Syabira Yusoff wowed the judges with her orangutan-inspired cake, but fans could not help but notice the bake resembled an entirely different creature
Bake Off fans mourning the end of the latest seriesneed not fear, as they might see one of the showstopper cakes again – in their nightmares. After weeks of gruelling competition, Syabira Yusoff was crowned as the winner of the popular Channel 4 show on Tuesday night.
While the baker’s clever flavour combinations got the judges talking, fans were fixated on a much creepier detail they spotted during the competition’s final. Namely, Syabira’s showstopper cake. Inspired by the theme “our beautiful planet”, the baker created an edible sculpture depicting an orangutan trying to hold together its rainforest home.
Undoubtedly clever,. and a great display of Syabira’s skill, the cake also reminded viewers of a much-scarier creature. One fan tweeted: “I really hope Syabira wins but this is my new sleep paralysis demon.”
Dismayed to have spotted the resemblance, someone replied: “I’m laughing but now I know this will be mine too!! Damn your hilarious tweet.”
