BBC Breakfast Sparks Cake Debate at Cake International Event

URGENT UPDATE: BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty ignited a lively debate during Saturday’s broadcast about the culinary artistry showcased at Cake International, the world’s largest cake decorating show, currently taking place in Birmingham.

During the segment, Munchetty and co-host Charlie Stayt showcased a stunning array of unique cake creations, including a striking Jim Carrey-inspired cake and several Halloween-themed designs. As they marveled at the elaborate cakes, Munchetty expressed her unease about consuming the Halloween creations, stating:

“I don’t want to eat that character’s teeth!”

Stayt added to the discussion, saying,

“It would be so wrong to slice into something created… they’re basically works of art, aren’t they?”

The playful banter continued as Munchetty posed a question to Stayt about the Halloween cake, asking:

“Would you eat the teeth or the eyeballs of that cake?”

Stayt confessed,

“I think I’d choose to just leave it there and not touch it. I’d make a separate cake for eating and just have that one to look at.”

Weather presenter Louise Lear joined in, humorously admitting,

“I’d eat anything at the moment, I’m starving!”

The lively exchange prompted Munchetty to respond with a laugh,

“Even more brutal. There’s no messing with you two. What’s going on this weekend?”

Cake International kicked off on October 31, 2023, at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham and will run until November 2, 2023. This three-day event is expected to draw thousands of cake enthusiasts and professionals, showcasing the latest trends and innovations in cake decorating.
