The Great British Bake Off showcases the very best of the UK's baking talent, but if you're not quite at that level just yet, sister show The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice is there for you.
Every week, Extra Slice, hosted by Jo Brand, features a look at some of the most ambitious and impressive bakes created by bakers at home, who can submit photos of their creations to be featured on the show.
And this week, we were treated to a truly wild cake which took on the likeness of the Tiger King himself, Joe Exotic.

After seeing the cake, host Jo joked: "That's Joe after he got too close to one of his tigers!"

The episode also featured this week's eliminated baker Mak, who earlier this week penned a heartwarming letter to the show.
"There aren't that many shows on TV that brings a nation together. In recent times only one sticks out and it's the Bake Off. A show of legendary stature and iconic value," he wrote.
He added that it had been a "privilege" to have been chosen for the show and called it "a beacon of light".
At the end of Extra Slice, Mak was awarded with a mini cake version of himself on Bake Off, complete with his own completed novel and his cake bust of author Bill Bryson.
After which, he got rather emotional again – just when we thought we'd recovered from his exit...
The Great British Bake Off continues on Tuesday, October 6 at 8pm on Channel 4.
