Cake Illusions That Look Too Delicious to Be True

Ben Cullen, better known as the Bake King, is a baker and cake decorator who makes cakes that look like anything but cake. Some of his creations resemble other foods, like vegetables, fast food and gourmet meals, while his other cakes resemble people, animals and objects.

Can you tell what is a confection and what isn’t? Your eyes may fool you!

Spud Cakes

These confections would fool even Mr. Potato Head! Down to the last detail, these potato cakes look just like the real thing. Cullen has perfected the skill of painting and adding texture to fondant, which is an icing made out of sugar, water and shortening that is easy to mould.

Club Sandwich for Dessert

It only takes a short look at this footlong to realize that something is out of the ordinary. This sandwich cake certainly won’t be on the menu at Subway anytime soon.

Salad with a Side of Sweets

This cake would fool even a vegetarian! From the salad leaves to the croutons, every detail of this cake is totally realistic. Eat your veggies? Gladly!

Thanksgiving Dessert

This realistic roasted bird cake would even fool grandma on Thanksgiving! Even down to the cake stuffing and sweet gravy, this turkey cake and candy trimmings are an amazing illusion.
