Prince George Is so Adorable You Could Just Eat Him up.
That’s probably why amateur baker Lara Mason decided to create a life-size version of the third in line to the throne in edible form. The 29-year-old English woman made the cake for the Cake International competition held in Birmingham each year, and she said she felt “delighted” when she won the gold for creating the little prince in cake form.
However…
While we’re really impressed with Mason’s ability to craft cakes that are pretty much clones of their human counterparts (Mason has won in previous years for her Jennifer Lawrence Hunger Games cake and her Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow), we also found the cake to be a little creepy in a Child’s Play sort of way (anyone heard of the uncanny valley?). Then we looked at pictures of the construction of the cake, and now we’re downright terrified…

It’s like some sick, tasty version of Pinocchio.

Turns out this isn’t Mason’s first big win with a lifelike cake. In the past, she made this convincing Jack Sparrow.

Even though Captain Jack is weirder than Prince George, somehow this huge cake is less creepy.

It’s amazing how huge these cakes are. I wonder if anyone ate them!
