Bake Off viewers were left baffled by Prue Leith's criticism for Sandro's spooky skull cake on the show's Halloween week. The bakers' signature challenge was to make an "exquisitely decorated apple cake" with a "hero ingredient" of fresh apple.
Fan favourite Sandro chose to make a "Creepy apple crumble cake", with a spiced Bramley apple sponge and cinnamon whisky tranfusion. However Prue was sceptical about his decision to top it with a crystal sugar skull.
She told him: "I know it's Halloween but I really think that skull ruins your cake. It's such a beautiful shape and you plonk a great big skull on top." However she told him his sponge was "lovely and moist" - although Paul criticised the flavour, saying: "For me it's not apple-y enough."
