It was Tudor Week on the Great British Bake Off last night, with the contestants creating marvelous creations based on food served in the 16th century.

As per usual and much to our delight, the BBC and Great British Bake Off fans took to Twitter, hilariously expressing their thoughts on the culinary challenges.
