The people behind 'Tattooed Bakers,' a London-based bakery, are both talented confectioners as they are artists as well. Consisting of creative duo Richard Amon and Eddie Lebeau, the company offers hyper-real cakes that exceed baking boundaries.
Many of their works consist of people's faces and are so unbelievably realistic-looking, you may get too scared to cut into them. However, they do promise amazing flavors like red velvet and chocolate and vanilla sponge with buttercream frosting. How could you resist?
The company thrives on "blurring the lines between cake, reality and art," which is quite eminent in each cake. They are perfect for birthdays or even Halloween, as some of them look they belong in a headless horror scene. Lebeau and Amon's cakes are so well made, celebrities like Mick Jagger are apt to order them.
