LAST NIGHT’S GREAT British Bake Off saw the contestants take part in what’s known as ‘bread week’.

And one of the people on it decided to bake up a bread lion.

Yes, a lion made out of bread

But people were mostly very impressed

I can't even butter bread without tearing it, let alone make a lion out of it. #GBBO

Perhaps it was a self portrait of the baker himself

That's not a lion, it's a self-portrait. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/rImKCz1gom

Throughout the baking process, people were worried

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

It wasn’t a tribute to Cecil, but we wanted to believe
