The latest episode of The Great British Bake Off saw the six remaining bakers in the tent tasked with having to create 24 mini-mousse cakes for the showstopper challenge.
This meant they had to bake 12 of two different types of mousse cakes, complete with sponge and delectable mousse fillings.
The Great British Bake Off had a slight animal theme this week (BBC/Love Productions)
However, as the episode continued, and the word mousse – the light and creamy dessert favourite – was repeated, fans on Twitter could not get the idea of moose – the elk-like animal – out of their heads.
As the moose versus mousse mix-up continued, Bake Off fans took to social media to air their rather hilarious confusion.
It certainly made for a cute addition to the Bake Off, that’s for sure.
Mini moose cakes? Oh, mini MOUSSE cakes. Well, you can tell this little chap – he'll be SO disappointed… #GBBO pic.twitter.com/a8SklbJsGT

Accidentally googled mini moose, rather than mousse. Totally worth sharing the adorable mistake #GBBO #DessertWeek pic.twitter.com/YzdmrClYri

Some fans thought the word mousse (or was it moose?) was used far too much. Is it even a word any more?
There's only so many times you can hear mousse before it stops sounding like a real word… #TheresAMousseLooseAbootThisHoose #GBBO

#DessertWeek #GBBO is it just me or is "mousse" starting to sound like a really weird word?!

The word mousse has been said so many times it has taken on a completely different meaning! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/j3O9XwOWSr
