Want an experts opinion on BuBakes' cakes?! 

It was a tense moment as Michel Roux Jnr sliced into this cake (designed to look like a Victorian meat pie!) and took a bite. 

When he gave (what we like to call in BuBakes Towers) the "grin and nod" it may have been one of the hugest reliefs possible! 

Mr Roux then came over to congratulate us on the cake and have a quick chat after filming, definitely a BuBakes dream come true...
