# Life-Sized Jungle Cat Cakes This Tiger Cake was Created to Raise Awareness of Endangered Animals By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-10-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-cake References: [metro](http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/08/this-incredibly-lifelike-tiger-cake-looks-like-it-might-have-you-for-tea-instead-5428362/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/bakersunitetofight?fref=photo) This incredibly realistic tiger cake is a life-size creation made of orange ganache, chocolate cream and, of course, cake. The life-size tiger cake is the work of British baker Zoe [Fox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolanda-gampp), who spent 300 hours making the impressive edible sculpture. Fox is part of a network of bakers called 'Bakers Unite to Fight,' who make cakes to fight the worldwide endangerment of animals. The cakes are all equally astounding, boasting a level of detail and refinement that actual sculptors only dream of mimicking. Fox's tiger cake will be displayed at [Cake International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osa-ap), a showcase in Birmingham, and will hopefully raise awareness of the plight of tigers. According to the [WWF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-sandlpare), world tiger population has decreased by an alarming 45% over the past 10 years and an estimated 93% of the tiger's natural habitat has been lost to deforestation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Realistic Food Sculptures:** Opportunity for innovative bakers to create realistic food sculptures to raise awareness for various causes. - **Artistic Cake Making:** Possibility for cake makers to combine artistry and baking skills to create impressive edible sculptures. - **Baking for a Cause:** Potential for bakers to use their skills to raise awareness and funds for endangered animals and other important causes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bakery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for bakeries to specialize in creating realistic food sculptures. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planners to collaborate with talented bakers to create eye-catching edible sculptures for special occasions. - **Nonprofit Organizations:** Potential for nonprofit organizations to partner with skilled bakers and use food art to raise awareness and funds. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Biscuit-Inspired Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/party-rings-celebration-cake.md) - [Vegan Caterpillar-Shaped Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-caterpillar-cakes.md) - [Cardboard-Resembling Illusion Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-cake.md) - [Japanese Mountain Range Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-fuji-chocolate-cake.md) - [Decorative Artisan Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-choice-tiger-bloomer.md) - [Challenging Animal Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendy-gold-endangered-species.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Luxe Tiger Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-emotions-3.md) - [CGI-Generated Brand Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-beer-1.md)
