Queen's priceless response to 'wonky' birthday cake made by Bake Off winner

When Nadiya Hussain was given the honour of baking for the Queen, the Bake Off winner had no idea what she was letting herself in for. The 2015 champion, who launched her own TV series after coming out on top in the famous white tent, was tasked with baking Her Majesty a cake for her 90th birthday back in 2016.

Nadiya was contacted by the Palace a couple of weeks ago before to see if she would be willing to take on the task. "My initial reaction was, it must be a mistake or some kind of prank," she said on The One Show at the time. "I told my husband and he said I had to do it. How could I say no?"
