The Great British Bake Off fans were unhappy by the timing of the latest theme.
Bake Off faced fierce backlash over their "insensitive" Mexican week theme last week. The show was criticized for failing to hit the mark on terminology and representation and for falling on harmful stereotypes of Mexican people and food.
Moving on with no reference to the backlash, the tent this week turned dark as the bakers were tasked with making several batches of spooky treats. The cast were met with a Halloween week theme and though the idea went down a storm with fans, the execution left them reeling.
