Ladies and gentlemen can finally get a piece of Jamie Dornan with this life-size Christian Grey cake, created for Manchester's Fifty Shades of Grey cake display.
Unfortunately, the charm and sex appeal of the Irish actor and the equally-as-sexy character he plays in the film do not translate into the dessert version. In fact, the edible Mr. Grey looks mildly frightening, and not at all appetizing. However, even a botched Christian Grey is sure to excite fans who are anxiously awaiting the film's arrival.
The Fifty Shades of Grey bandwagon has spawned some interesting products and media, from lingerie and sex toys to LEGO trailers and condom spoof ads. This Christian Grey cake is just another way to capitalize on the clout of the upcoming movie.
