Top 10 Worst Great British Bake Off Creations

The 10 Worst Great British Bake Off Creations

Welcome to WatchMojoUK, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 The 10 Worst Great British Bake Off Creations.

For this list, we’ll be looking at the very worst the GBBO and the Celebrity spin-off have to offer. From mishaps that escalated into disasters to just outright awful bakers, it’s all going to be here.

<h4>#10: Rylan’s Poo</h4>

You’d be right believing that some of the absolute worst creations on this show come from the celebrities who quite frankly have no clue when it comes to baking. Very few can compare to this vile sweet by reality star Rylan Clarke who had attempted to make a bake shaped like a cove in Ibiza. Something that would clearly be hard to convey as appetizing on premise alone. But somehow, Rylan managed to make it look like a big dollop of poo. Somehow the rest of this bake made up for the harrowing sight!

<h4>#9: Celebrity Faces</h4>

After watching the first showstopper round of season 11, we believe there may be some people who no longer believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Tasked with creating a bust of a celebrity they admire, the bakers surprised us all with an array of hilarious results. From a Freddie Mercury that many likened to the Pringles man and nightmarish David Bowie to David Attenborough taking a tumble, many conceded that the disastrous results seemed fitting for the unprecedented theme of 2020. Most of the results were laughable but who doesn’t need a good chuckle these days.

<h4>#8: Dan’s Portrait</h4>

There are far more flattering ways to portray your newborn baby. When the bakers were challenged to create a self-portrait Dan chose to draw himself with his child on a biscuit. Say what you will about his amateurish drawing of himself, but the baby is sure to get your eyebrows raising. Paul suggested that it looked more like a shrimp than a child, but the viewers at home had far more dirty thoughts as to what it looked like. Perhaps something more phallic. Maybe choose a different colour next time, Dan.

<h4>#7: Jamie’s Banana Loaf</h4>

If the heir to McVities and founder of Candy Kittens promises to produce a delicious cake, you’d believe him, right? Jamie Laing announced that he had never even touched flour before and then proceeded to mix his banana loaf ingredients in a food processor all at once, allegedly following his mother’s example. Despite its unappetising texture, the judges bravely taste it but regret it soon after. Prue spat hers out and Paul dubbed it the worst cake ever baked in the tent. Well, at least there was only really one way he could go from there. 

<h4>#6: Dorret’s Black Forest Gateau</h4>

In the season premiere of the sixth series of “Bake Off”, the contestants were charged with making their spin on a classic Black Forest Gâteau for the showstopper round. But Dorret was off to a rough start when her mousse didn’t set properly, making it impossible for her cake to retain any structural integrity. Dorret was understandably devastated when her Gâteau completely collapsed, leaving a gooey mess instead of a pretty end result. Despite this major error though, she managed to stay in the competition for another couple of episodes after the incident.  

<h4>#5: Ruby’s Cakes</h4>

Baking using only vegan-friendly ingredients can be tricky enough, but creating a gorgeous tiered cake without using eggs and dairy like you’re used to can result in complete chaos. That’s what happened for Ruby in series nine when her showstopper couldn’t stand up on its own. When the clock ran out in the baker’s time, her cake wasn’t stable so she was forced to leave the tent and hope for the best. But the other contestants watched helplessly from outside as the dessert slowly toppled over onto her workstation.

<h4>#4: James’s Barn</h4>

For the quarter-final of the third series of “Bake Off”, James Morton endeavoured to make a wood-frame gingerbread barn but it ended up falling apart, forcing him to put a spooky spin on it, calling it a haunted barn and even adding cobwebs. While what he intended was an indisputable failure, the end result wasn’t actually that bad, and he was even named star baker that week. Not only that, but he ended up in the final of the show, and has been successful ever since!

<h4>#3: A Salty Treat</h4>

John Waite eventually became the winner of the third series of “Bake Off”, but in the season premiere, things didn’t look too hopeful for this baker. During the technical challenge, the contestants were charged with making rum babas, and John mistakenly used salt instead of sugar in his dough. The result was about as disastrous as you would imagine, with Mary refusing to touch them and Paul spitting them out. Somehow though, John only came in second to last in the ranking, managing to edge out Natasha, who was eliminated that episode.

<h4>#2: The Not-So Baked Alaska</h4>

Ask any “Bake Off” fan what the most dramatic moment in the show’s history is, and they’ll undoubtedly agree it was this one. Dubbed “bingate” by fans and the press, this incident took place in the fifth series in the “Desserts” episode when the contestants were asked to make versions of a baked Alaska for their showstopper. Iain’s dessert was chilling when fellow baker Diana removed it from the fridge for an indeterminate amount of time, causing it to melt in the sweltering heat. While this would have been an unfortunate occurrence, Iain made it a true disaster when he had a tantrum and threw the entire dessert into the bin.

<h4>#1: Lucy’s Showstopper Cake</h4>

It’s a rare honour to get a Paul Hollywood handshake. It’s even rarer still to have him spit your bake out in disgust. But that’s exactly what happened to Lucy Beaumont on SU2C. While the other contestants brought their A-Game, Lucy floundered when creating her ‘Sunday lunch’ cake which featured cake layers of varying burntness. As Prue said it looked less like Lucy’s dream day and more like her nightmare. As such she was named the worst baker to ever step foot in the t
