The 'Failed abdominal surgery' cake was created by baking master Annabel de Vetten aka Annabel Lecter. The cake is an amazing replication of an [open stomach surgery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice). The cake features several [edible intestines and organs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs), just like a real human stomach, just less bloody. It's the same size as a regular human stomach, to give that nice touch of cannibalism to every cake eater. The cake was inspired by the computer video game 'Surgeon Simulator 2013.' ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Edible Anatomy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of realistic, edible anatomical cakes and desserts to cater to medical professionals, students, and anyone with an interest in the human body. - **Gross-out Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a range of unsettling, anatomically-inspired food products for dare games, themed parties, or novelty consumption experiences. - **Medical Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge the worlds of medicine and entertainment by introducing interactive medical-themed experiences, such as surgery simulation games or edible museum exhibits. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with pastry chefs and food technologists to explore new realms of anatomically-inspired culinary creations. - **Medical Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leverage advancements in virtual reality and augmented reality technologies to create immersive and interactive educational tools for medical students. - **Entertainment and Events:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design memorable and unique entertainment experiences, such as interactive medical-themed escape rooms or macabre dinner theater productions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cardboard-Resembling Illusion Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-cake.md) - [Robotic Wedding Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robocake.md) - [Human Body Discovery Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-squishy-human-body.md) - [Macabre Chocolate Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-shops.md) - [Anatomical Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Balloon Dog Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-dog-cake.md)
