A Life-Sized Cake for Those Who Have Dreamt of Eating Katniss Everdeen
There’s a bakery in the UK that specializes in life-sized celebrity cakes with crazy detail. Lara Clarke is the magician behind these life-sized desserts and has worked on cakes such as Tyrion Lanister, Jack Sparrow and now The Hunger Games princess Katniss Everdeen.
According to the Telegraph, Clarke won the Cake International contest in Birmingham this weekend with her Katniss and Tyrion entries.
It took Clarke 150 eggs, 22 pounds of flour, 22 pounds of butter and 10 weeks of her time to create this Jennifer Lawrence tribute. It also cost her almost $750 to put together her two entries for the competition.
At last year’s competition she won with a life-sized Jack Sparrow cake, but was criticized for making it out of crisped rice. So Clarke challenged herself to make Katniss out of sponge cake this time around.
Probably one of the cooler things to come from the cake is The Hunger Games cast being wowed by it during a BBC interview.
Unfortunately some of the inner cake pieces are months old, so unless your hunger game is at its max, this cake probably won’t taste very good.
