1. In August, Bake Off returned to our screens.
he was a sk8er boy she said see you l8er boy
2. With the usual presenting quartet.
well this killed me
3. As well as the usual innuendo.
when your parents go out and it's your only chance to masturbate
4. Along with a bunch of new bakers.
U vs the guy she told u not to worry about #GBBO
5. Although some faces looked familiar.
Bake off? Completed it mate
6. Mary Berry was her usual iconic, fashion-blazing self.
GWAN MARY BERRY I BET SHE ROCKIN MARGIELAS UNDER THERE TOO
7. But this year she had some competition.
Oh my god Beyoncé who?
8. Everybody loved Val.
not all heroes wear capes #GBBO
9. And were left devastated when she left.
me thinking about Val :( #GBBO
10. The nation went into meltdown when it was announced that Bake Off was leaving the BBC.
I'm lucky I live in a rough area so the 2016 #GBBO riots shouldn't reach me.
11. People became especially concerned when rumours about the show moving to ITV started to circulate.
ITV Great British Bake Off Dermot O'Leary: "So why did you apply to come on Bake Off?" Baker: "Me nan died, and she loved cake" [Manly hug]
12. And things didn't calm down when it became known that Channel 4 were getting the show.
looks like channel 4 already have ruined bake off
13. Mary Berry said she wouldn't be leaving the BBC.
14. Neither would Mel and Sue.
True #GBBO #GBBO2016
15. Whereas Paul Hollywood would.
Great British Snake Off
16. But it's not all bad.
“Up next on BBC1, Mel and Sue present a completely new show, 'Cakes in a Tent'”
17. And luckily we had Selasi to cheer us up.
this is good content
18. Who is literally the coolest goddamn man on the planet.
I fully expect that Selasi could wander into an operating theatre and deliver a baby without ever understanding how or why #GBBO
19. <3
find a guy to pine over you the way Selasi pines over bread #GBBO
20. There were the usual challenges.
Meanwhile outside the tent... #GBBO
21. Plus some imagined new ones.
next time on bake off they're making puddin
22. Cakes were made.
So God created cake in Her own image. #GBBO
23. Tears were shed.
Forget Brad and Angelina, this is the saddest breakup of 2016 #GBBO
24. Oh, and Tom was haunted by the ghost of an American comedian.
Tom haunted by the ghost of Groucho Marx #GBBO
25. As always, the show was super relatable.
when the customer ur dealing with asks to speak to the manager n the manager says the same thing u did
26. Like really, really relatable.
selasi is me when i'm waiting for my food to be ready
27. On the day of the finale, everyone awoke in a mixed mood.
42% of Britons were just awoken by the realisation that the Great British Bake Off that we know and love will be finished forever in 18hrs.
28. Not that it stopped anyone from watching.
"Hello, this is the UK. We're a bit busy at the moment, please leave a message." #gbbofinal #gbbo
29. Even if it was sometimes through tears.
And with Sue's words, "welcome to your last showstopper challenge" an entire country breaks down and weeps #GBBO… https://t.co/Uj78hpwcUJ
30. The series was won by Candice.
For all the beautiful bakes, cheeky innuendos and for pulling it all off in such style – thank you, Candice. #GBBO… https://t.co/6dyxHi74fH
31. And while the Bake Off may have finished on the BBC…
Bake Off fans: "Thank you Mary, Mel and Sue for a great series. We will miss you" Paul: "What abou-" Bake Off fan… https://t.co/LZ2R2BUwZI
32. … With the goddess that is Mary Berry…
33. … There's always hope.
I want Mary Berry to judge my life because even when it seems there is no hope she finds something positive to say #GBBO
34. And the spirit of Bake Off lives on.
Don't stress guys, it'll be fine. #GBBO will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
