Kinky Character Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Life-Size Christian Grey Cake Might Give You Nightmares

— February 6, 2015 — Lifestyle
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.
Trend Themes
1. Life-size Character Cakes - The trend of creating life-size character cakes presents opportunities for innovative and realistic edible designs.
2. Capitalizing on Pop Culture Phenomena - Leveraging popular movies, books, or TV shows like Fifty Shades of Grey to create unique and attention-grabbing products can be a profitable business strategy.
3. Diverse Product Tie-ins - Expanding the range of products associated with a popular franchise, such as Fifty Shades of Grey, opens up creative possibilities and increases brand exposure.
Industry Implications
