Cake Middleton: Baker creates lifelike cake of the Princess of Wales for Birmingham contest

A talented baker has created a stunning life-like sculpture of the Princess of Wales made out of cake.

Emma Jayne Morris, 56, crafted Princess Kate's head out of Rice Krispies and marshmallows before constructing her face using 2kg of modelling chocolate.

The cake artist painstakingly spent two weeks creating the amazing model using 50kg of sugarpaste and colouring the various features using edible rainbow dust sparkles.

Emma will now be showcasing her incredible creation at the Cake International event at Birmingham's NEC, which begins on November 6.

Emma, a mum-of-three, from Aberdare, South Wales, said: "I chose Kate because I have loved making the royals over the years.

"From Tutankhamun, King Charles and Queen Elizabeth, it’s been fascinating learning about the subjects and the lives they lead plus giving the visitors a chance to stand beside historical figures and our Royal family.

"Kate and William are adored by all, it will give the visitors the chance to have a picture with royalty.

"I have already made the head in preparation for the show but I'm also going to do the body so there's a lot of work still to do.

"I have loved every minute of making Kate, she is made with modelling chocolate and every part of her is hand-sculpted.

"I started with building the face and then once that was done I put the colour on her face.

"I hand-made each part of the headpiece and the earrings as well as the hairstyle.

"The build doesn't always go to plan. Because I wanted to get like this likeness her nose came off twice as I wasn't happy with it.

"I got to the point where I wasn't happy at all so I cut the whole of the front of her face off.

"So this one has been a particular work of love because I wanted to get it exactly right."
