Contestant Makes Tom DeLonge Cake In First Episode Of The Great British Bake Off

Last night, beloved UK baking show The Great British Bake Off returned, providing a welcome distraction from all the awfulness in the world. And not only was the first episode of series 11 a total delight courtesy of Cake Week, it also featured a surprise cameo from a certain pop-punk hero… sort of.

After this year's contestants were asked to kick off their Bake Off adventure with a showstopper in the form of a 3D bust of their hero, Dave from Hampshire gave it his best shot to make Angels & Airwaves / former blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge out of sponge. His Three Flavours Of Tom DeLonge effort consisted of a strawberry and mint flavoured cake with chocolate buttercream, and though it didn't earn him the title of Star Baker (spoiler alert), it did provide the internet with a lot of entertainment for the evening.

Ahem, may we point your attention to this fine pun as an example…

Happily, Tom even saw the cake himself, and joked that, "When I was younger, and needed the money, I did a few hundred adult films. This looks EXACTLY like me at the time. EXACTLY."

*Shudders…*
