'Great British Bake Off' finale is tonight, and British Twitter is going to explode
LONDON — Alas, all good things — even cake — must come to an end.
Tonight brings the finale of the Great British Bake Off, as well as the end of an era as the beloved British television series transitions from the BBC to Channel 4.
And British Twitter. Can't. Even.

A branded hashtag emoji has people in the spirit:
