If you thought [cakes were meant to be pretty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake) and delicate creations this dissected real human body cake by baker Annabel de Vetten from Conjurer's Kitchen will surely change your opinion. From one side this cake features a [macabre black and white Rocco design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tous-les-jours-spooky-delights) and from the other it showcases the anatomy of a freshly sliced human body.

Vetten fittingly titled her cake the 'Dissected Cake' since it so perfectly showcases the [inner workings of the human body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voka-anatomy-pro). The cake is divided up in four different tiers that each depict a different vital human organ. The top of the cake showcases a life-like brain, the second tier is a bloody human heart, the third tier is a skeletal rib cake and the bottom layer showcases the stomach. This detailed body cake looks so real it's hard to believe it's made from cake batter and fondant.
