12. Louis Theroux

It's the beard texture and the eyebrows for us.

11. Tom Delonge

There is an essence of Blink-182 singer Tom Delonge in Dave's cake, but we're not sure we'd get it on the first try. Delonge reacted to the cake on Instagram. "When I was younger, and needed the money, I did a few hundred adult films," he wrote. "This looks EXACTLY like me at the time. EXACTLY. #Cake"

10. Bill Bryson

"It's obviously Bill Bryson," said Prue. Obviously. Bryson is a travel and science author who probably could have looked pretty good as a cake if Mak had had time to finish the coloring. As it is, he deserves better.

9. Charles Darwin

There's a hint of Charles Darwin here but he looks like he's made out of clay, not cake. He also seems to have lost all traces of his neck.

8. Lupita Nyong'o

Hermine did a really fantastic job with Lupita's fondant dress and apparently the cake was delicious but Lupita this is not. This is...a woman who needs some help. Even Hermine made fun of herself by writing "guess who" on the side.

7. Marie Antoinette

Rowan nearly nailed it, but he promised choux buns for hair and there were no choux buns. Otherwise, it looks like an actual face!

6. David Attenborough

Sura struggled to keep one of Britain's most treasured celebs upright and was forced to give him a pillow. The judges claimed they could tell who it was, and to that we say, "I guess?"

5. Miss Lou

Miss Lou was a famous Jamaican poet and public figure and she did NOT look like this. But there's something about this cake that looks like a Pixar character mixed with a Star Wars character and we kind of love her.

4. Sir Chris

Sir Christopher Hoy is a Scottish race car driver and former cyclist with multiple Gold medals. We had never heard of him and when we search his name, this is not what he looks like, but this cake was apparently so good that its baker, Peter, won star baker. The mouth is so silly though!

3. David Bowie

Marc nailed the Ziggy Stardust make up, but it looks like it's being worn by a melting cartoon character.

2. Bob Marley

Linda failed to put a real face on her Bob Marley cake and so as a result, he ended up looking like a spooky sea creature and we love him. We'd eat him.

1. Freddie Mercury

It's not exactly accurate or flattering, but it IS the cutest thing in the world.
