After being shown a gruesome bound feet made out of cake by Syuh, I decided to google for cakes. And boy oh boy did I find a mouthful!
First up, a six feet sculpture of Jesus Christ that was made entirely out of chocolate. This art piece is titled "My Sweet Lord" which is done by artist Cosimo Cavallaro. It was planned to be displayed at the Lab Gallery in Midtown Manhattan.
Unfortunately, it was cancelled.
"But word of the confectionary Christ infuriated Catholics, including Egan, who described it as "a sickening display."
Bill Donohue, head of the watchdog Catholic League, said it was "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever."
"It’s not just the ugliness of the portrayal, but the timing — to choose Holy Week is astounding," he said."
It would be pretty awesome to see it on display. But having heard that it led to a major controversy when it was planned, it's a much better idea to cancel it.
Next up, Scorpion Cake and Cake Shoe.
Both of these cakes are done by Zhanna from St. Petersburg. There's more master pieces done Here!
If you did click that site (above), you' realize that there's alot of fascinating designs one can have on a cake. Cool...
Alrighty, on to the last one. This brings baking to a whole new level. Why? Because he does this....
This is not some horror flick. This is actually edible! I'm not kidding. This is actually a creation by Thailand's Fine Art student, Kittiwat Unarrom. This guy really has the skills. Not only are the they bloody, bruised, gory and edible, they look very realistic.
My oh my, I can imagine one opening it's eyes as we devour it. Heh.
Inside a dark room, realistic-looking "human body parts" are stacked on shelves and hanging on meat hooks. The place looks like a mortuary or the lair of a serial killer, but in fact, it's a bakery. What appears to be putrefying body parts are the bread sculptures of 28-year-old art student Kittiwat Unarrom.
"Of course, people were shocked and thought that I was mad when they saw the works. But once they knew the idea behind it, they understood and became interested in the work itself, instead of thinking that I am crazy," said the fine arts masters degree student.
He hopes his realistic artwork will make people ponder whether they are consuming food, or food is consuming them.
"Everyone's life is rushed nowadays, even when it comes to eating," he said. "When we eat, we don't think about our health or safety, we only think of our taste buds."
As an undergraduate art student, Kittiwat started painting portraits. He then moved to mixed media and finally dough - a natural medium for him since his family runs a bakery.
Along with edible human heads crafted from dough, chocolate, raisins and cashews, Kittiwat makes human arms, feet, and chicken and pig parts. He uses anatomy books and his vivid memories of visiting a forensics museum to create the human parts.
"When people see the bread, they don't want to eat it. But when they taste it, it's just normal bread," he said. "The lesson is 'don't judge just by outer appearances.'"
Hats off to whoever who has the guts to swallow this. You might be labelled as a Cannibal though.
But this would be a pretty neat Youtube video if we were to place it someone's fridge though. Hahah.
