Villainous Sugar Sculptures

This Catwoman Bust is Made Entirely From Fondant

— June 24, 2014 — Lifestyle
This Catwoman bust sculpture perfectly replicates the female comic book villain by using a mixture of colorful icing and fondant to sculpt her figure. Catwoman is even given a slightly sultry appearance with a Marilyn Monroe figure, red lips and a beauty spot.

Catwoman is known for her vital role in the Batman comics as the Dark Knight's lover as well as enemy. Catwoman is the alter-ego of socialite Selina Kyle looking to undercut the vast layer of corruption taking over Gotham City. To celebrate this feline beauty, Ant of Nedache Cakes designed a sugary bust that depicts Catwoman's creamy skin, mysterious eyes and black cat ears. While this Catwoman bust isn't quite finished just yet, its clear that she will look incredibly realistic by the end.
