TONIGHT BROUGHT US the first Eurovision semi-final of 2014, with ten countries qualifying for Saturday’s final.

Latvia may have been eliminated. But their song, Cake To Bake by Aarzemnieki, was by far the biggest Twitter phenomenon of the night.

In case you missed it, treat yourself to a bit of this:

When they performed live in Copenhagen, Twitter couldn’t believe its ears.

Some people were straight up blown away:

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Apologies to my colleagues and girlfriend, for the next week all you’ll hear is me singing #caketobake

Some people, inexplicably, were not:

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

But most just recognised the song’s unstoppable power:

Urge to bake a cake is strong #Eurovision

Whoops!

It was a wonderful moment.

And we’re sad that it’s gone. No more cakes to bake :(
