URGENT UPDATE: A lively cake debate erupted on BBC Breakfast as presenter Naga Munchetty and co-host Charlie Stayt discussed the ongoing Cake International event in Birmingham. The world’s largest cake decorating show kicked off on October 31 and runs through November 2 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC).
During Saturday’s live broadcast, Munchetty showcased an array of stunning cake creations, including a striking Jim Carrey-themed cake and various Halloween designs. However, Munchetty expressed her hesitations about consuming the Halloween cakes, stating, “I don’t want to eat that character’s teeth!”
Stayt chimed in, emphasizing the artistry of these cakes: “It would be so wrong to slice into something created… they’re basically works of art, aren’t they?” Their conversation sparked excitement among viewers, as they questioned what it meant to eat such intricate designs.
When Munchetty asked Stayt whether he would dare to eat the teeth or eyeballs of the Halloween cake, he responded candidly, “I think I’d choose to just leave it there and not touch it.”
Weather presenter Louise Lear joined the discussion, humorously admitting, “I’d eat anything at the moment, I’m starving!” Munchetty’s shocked reaction led to more laughter as Lear joked about her willingness to try anything if the icing was appealing.
The banter highlighted the fun and creativity surrounding Cake International, which is known for its extravagant displays and talented bakers. The event has attracted thousands of visitors eager to see these edible masterpieces.
As cake enthusiasts continue to flock to the NEC, the excitement is palpable. With the event concluding tomorrow, there’s still time for fans to witness the incredible talent on display.
What’s next? BBC Breakfast will continue to cover the event, bringing viewers more highlights and insights. Tune in tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM on BBC One and BBC iPlayer for the latest updates and delicious discussions from the world of cake decorating!
