Great British Bake Off: Henry Gets Off To Nightmare Start As Disaster Strikes In Opening Challenge

Host Noel Fielding attested its beauty, telling Paul and Prue: “It saw it! It looked beautiful.”

And while he’d suffered huge disappointment that he didn’t pull off his creation as he’d hoped, Paul and Prue actually ended up giving his cake the thumbs up. 

What’s more, he then came top in the technical challenge, which saw the bakers asked to produce layered Angel Cakes. 

Henry wasn’t the only one who had a bit of a ’mare during the first challenge though, as Michael Chakraverty cut himself, not once, but three times while preparing the dried fruit for his cake.
