Evil Queen Cakes

This Maleificent Cake is Both Delicious and Terrifying

— May 26, 2014 — Lifestyle
The folks over at The Tattooed Bakers have poured their heart and soul into creating an incredibly realistic Maleficent cake, in honor of the film's upcoming release. The London-based bakers have completely captured Maleficent's icy stare and menacing demeanor, inspiring feelings of fear and yearning. I must say, being simultaneously scared and hungry is a strange -- but not unpleasant -- feeling.

The Maleficent cake is not the first amazing feat by these talented bakers. In fact, they have an extensive repertoire of stunning edibles, including a hyper-realistic unicorn cake.

The Tattooed Bakers prove that baking is a true art form. The Maleficent cake is a delicious way to pay tribute to one of the most iconic villainess' in movie history.
Trend Themes
1. Realistic Edible Art - As people continue to seek unique edible experiences, there is an opportunity for bakers to create realistic cakes that are not only delicious but also visually stunning.
2. Movie-themed Desserts - With the popularity of movie franchises and fandoms, bakeries can capitalize on creating desserts that are inspired by characters and themes from popular films. This creates an unforgettable experience for fans, and it also helps to create a buzz around the bakery as well.
3. Hyper-realistic Cakes - The impressive detail and realistic features of The Tattooed Bakers' cakes show that there is a growing interest in desserts that are not only delicious but also display artistic craftsmanship that is unparalleled within the industry.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery and Pastry - With the increase in the popularity of unique desserts and pastry art, bakeries have the chance to catch the trend by offering realistic and amazing-looking cakes to their customers.
2. Film and Entertainment - Movie studios can partner with bakeries to create limited-edition cakes based on characters and themes from popular films. This collaboration will not only delight fans but will also offer a great cross-promotion opportunity for both industries.
3. Food and Event - Food and event companies can highlight their creations by showcasing art, precisely in cakes, made with great labour of love ,thus creating an unforgettable experience for customers
