These 31 Bake Off memes are almost as shocking as last night’s result

Last night was the second episode in what is one of the best Bake Off series ever. There were biscuits (are macaroons biscuits?), the first hand shake of the season and a disastrous result that divided the nation.

Mak went home and many were devastated, whereas others are incredibly happy that our new national treasure, Rowan, lives to fight another week of drinking a cup of tea whilst doing a technical.

And of course whilst the bakers were busy making florentines, (again are they actually a biscuit?) Twitter was coming up with some quality memes and tweets about the second episode.

These are the 31 best memes from last night’s episode:

1. If only I could have had Noel as my art teacher

2. I really do miss that bit

Y'know what I miss about #gbbo? Mel Giedroyc being shipped off to Bavaria for a ten minute documentary just because the technical challenge was strudel.

3. Totally given up at this point

5. Why is this not a thing?

Campaign for them to say at the end of each #GBBO episode what they're making the next week, so you can bake/stock up in advance because how could I have anticipated wanting a Florentine??

6. FYI these are actual biscuits
