The Chocolate Baby Heads are so creepy that a person with the biggest sweet tooth may have to refrain from taking a bite out of them. Incredibly hyperrealistic, it would almost be like chomping down on an actual baby's head. Although that may sound completely ludicrous to some, the images speak for themselves. Like beheaded zombie children, the Chocolate Baby Heads will send shivers down anyone's spine.

Created by Annabel de Vetten of Conjurer's Kitchen, a cake shop based in Birmingham, England, the Chocolate Baby Heads were displayed as part of the Eat Your Heart Out 2012 food art exhibition in London. Made out of solid white chocolate, they are roughly the same size as the head of an average newborn baby.
