For a decade, people have watched "The Great British Baking Show" — or "Bake Off," as it's known in the UK — to see amateur bakers whip up elaborate cakes in a tent in the English countryside.
In each themed episode, contestants are tested in three challenges called signature, technical, and showstopper rounds, and have their baked goods critiqued by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
While there are plenty of impressive treats, as is often the case with baking, mistakes can happen.
Bakers have made some epic fails over the show's 11 seasons, from using salt instead of sugar to injuring a finger in the food processor.
