Remember the trend “Everything is cake” which took over social media last year? Turns out, people are not over it yet or at least that’s what these old pictures of a hyper realistic cake, which are now going viral, suggest. The images show a ‘man’ lying on a hospital bed and they have now creeped out people.

Designed by popular cake sculptor The Bake King, aka Ben Cullen, the item was created for a music video of rapper Slowthai. Originally shared back in September 2020 by Cullen, the pics recently captured people’s attention after it was re-posted by a Twitter user. Following the newfound popularity, Cullen again took to his official Instagram to re-share the images.

“When I turned @slowthai into CAKE! Made for his music video ‘Feel Away’ - all his body parts were made from vanilla cake and chocolate ganache with sugarpaste details!” he wrote while sharing the pic.
