@AnyaBartz told us she tried to make a "Jurassic Park" cake but instead ended up with this mess.

The Great British Bake Off returns to BBC One in the UK tonight.

The hit show has inspired a nation of cooks, chefs and, of course, bakers to show off their skills - good and bad - here are some of the bad.

This was the second time Nina from London had made this cake. It contains chocolate and Guinness. She says that once it was iced, she was able to fix it, we hope so.
