Gruesome Anatomical Cakes

These Realistic Cakes Showcase Edible Body Parts Covered in Blood

— April 27, 2016 — Lifestyle
Katherine Dey is a baking enthusiast that puts together a series of realistic cakes that have a gruesome twist to them, based off of her experience as a nurse in New York City. The cakes showcase different body parts, limbs and injuries expressed through desserts with edible blood and inners recreated using a variety of sweet desserts.

The cakes tap into a uncanny theme for decorated desserts, making use of Dey's experience as a nurse and the things she sees in the hospital.

The cakes feature edible fondant to recreate the ligaments and red velvet cake centres to replicate the blood.
