UPDATE: BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty ignited a spirited discussion about cake during the show this morning, as the team reported live from Cake International, the world’s largest cake decorating event, happening at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.
The segment showcased a dazzling array of cake creations, including a striking Jim Carrey-inspired cake and several Halloween-themed masterpieces. However, Naga expressed her hesitation about indulging in the Halloween cakes, exclaiming:
“I don’t want to eat that character’s teeth!”
Co-presenter Charlie Stayt chimed in, marveling at the artistry, stating,
“They’re basically works of art, aren’t they?”
As the lively banter continued, Naga challenged Charlie with a provocative question about the Halloween cake. She asked,
“Would you eat the teeth or the eyeballs of that cake?”
Charlie confessed he would prefer to leave such extravagant creations untouched, stating:
“I think I’d choose to just leave it there and not touch it.”
Weather presenter Louise Lear joined the lighthearted exchange, humorously admitting,
“I’d eat anything at the moment, I’m starving!”
Naga responded in shock, asking,
“Would you eat the teeth on that one?”
Louise playfully replied,
“I haven’t had breakfast, anything, Naga, particularly if the icing is good!”
The banter highlighted not just the creativity of the cakes but also the light-hearted camaraderie among the presenters. Naga jokingly remarked on the situation, asking,
“What’s going on this weekend?”
