LONDON -- Q: What could possibly be better than the Great British Bake Off?

A: Hamsters reenacting the Great British Bake Off.

Pet owner Beverly Borrill of Wiltshire, UK has something of a penchant for constructing miniature sets for her six Syrian hamsters.

What began as school project for her daughter turned into a prolific hobby that has taken the furry critters on 20 unique adventures from Waitrose to a sauna to a reenactment of Dr. Who.

Now, the Harcourt Hammies, as they are affectionately known, have entered the world of the Bake Off tent in what is a truly spectacular recreation.

Behold the baker hammies:

The television show's official Facebook page shared the image and said what we are all thinking: "Hamster Bake Off is no longer a dream."
