A missing raspberry on The Great British Bake Off’s cake has sent fans wild. The introduction scene of a missing raspberry on the cake isn’t taken lightly by GBBO viewers. Many “can’t unsee it” either…

The Great British Bake Off is officially back on our screens. A line-up of talented bakers are doing their best to impress Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood as they are tasked with creating bakes and breads. So, what exactly is the missing raspberry on the GBBO cake everyone’s on about?!

Missing raspberry on Bake Off cake

The missing raspberry on GBBO’s cake is in the bottom right section of the chocolate cake in the show’s introduction, when ‘The Great British Bake Off’ is written over the top in white writing. It was pointed out by the hosts during the first challenge of episode 1. The gingham cloth concealing the ingredients for the inaugural technical challenge recipe was the well-known chocolate cake.

The small gap where the fruit should be is seen on top of a chocolate sponge as the show starts and has been missing since as far back as 2010. The missing raspberry was actually ‘stolen’ by a contestant…

GBBO fans react to missing fruit

Many Great British Bake Off fans noticed the raspberry cake’s missing fruit years ago. However, now it’s been pointed out in episode 1 of the 2023 season, that some “can’t unsee it.”

One fan wrote: “Am I the only one who didn’t realize there was a raspberry missing off the #GBBO cake!”

Another said: “That missing raspberry will always bug me! #BakeOff #GBBO.”

“Ngl [not going to lie], too busy looking at the cake on the titles and thinking how much I wanted to eat it that I hadn’t noticed the missing raspberry #GBBO,” reacted a viewer.
