This Birmingham-Born Baker Makes Mind-Bending Cakes That Look Like Other Things

Prepare for your mind to be blown by these bakes. Or are they?

Ben Cullen, aka The Bakeking, starred on Channel 4’s Extreme Cake Makers making deceiving illusion cakes. With The Great British Bake Off returning to our screens, now has never been a better time to get some baking inspiration. You never know, you might make it to an Extra Slice!

These mind-bending illusion cakes made by Ben are so real that some go as far as revolting! I’m sure it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Remember to swipe for the reveal!

Anyone else genuinely think this was picked straight from the patch?

Check out these crêpes!

And last but not least… When I say last, I mean possibly the last time you’ll eat a roast dinner.
