To commemorate the release of horror film 'The Helpers' on DVD, the producers of the film have commissioned the help of cookies and cake guru Emmylou Cakehead to recreate a grisly murder scene in delicious fashion.
Everything in the murder scene is edible, from the coffee in the cups (cake), to the (cookie) remote control, and even the disgusting cake-comprised severed head. Even the food items in the pictures like the pizza and salads are made out of cookies and cake, and the disturbingly realistic murder weapons are made out of harmless chocolate.
No cookies and cake expert could produce all this petrifying pastry on their own, so it's no surprise that Emmylou brought in help from cake design experts like Nevie Pie, Conjurer's Kitchen and Cake for Breakfast. The effect is genuinely, and deliciously shocking.
