Hyperrealistic illusion cakes 😯 | The Great British Bake Off

Appearances can be deceptive! In Series 8, Paul and Prue challenged the bakers to conjure up a spellbinding illusion cake designed to trick the eye into thinking it was anything but a cake. The bakers all summoned their magic touch to produce incredible designs, but did the Showstoppers do the trick?

Honestly, all of them looked sensational. Incredibly talented bunch of humans

[tobiaspaterson]

I can’t even make a normal cake and these mad lads are purposefully making cakes that look like other things.

This was one of the best rounds in GBBO history

Paul looked like he was about to happy cry at one point, when he said the BLT sponge was "perfect". Bless.

[blackdragoncyrus]

Being one of the judges seems like a dream job.

I feel the need to eat everything all these cakes pretended to be, and then the cake itself. ❤️
YUM-ME!

That is fucking awesome. I enjoy a bit of baking as a hobby and i would love to be able to make things that look half as good as any of those.
