Cake Angels hard at work!
The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo has been recreated for the 21st century from cake decorations!
The original is on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, however, the new version 'The Baking of Adam’ has been put together by Cake Angels.
Resident Cake Angels artist, Michelle Wibowo, said; "Britain is currently gripped by baking fever with a real emphasis on unique designs and showmanship. When we learnt about Michelangelo's anniversary celebrations, we really wanted to join in and challenge the boundaries of cake design by immortalising his most heavenly creation in our own special way, using our range of versatile and vibrant sprinkles, proving that even cake can become a fantastic art canvas."
The artwork made entirely out of Cake Angels produce features over 10 thousand marshmallows, an estimated half a billion cake sprinkles and took a whopping 168 hours to complete.
Wibowo added; "No celebration is complete without cake and we really hope that Michelangelo would have given us his official seal of approval. The real difficulty was matching his exact scale and style but the possibilities are endless when you have so many textures and colours to choose from. It's also really hard to stop yourself from nibbling at the masterpiece!"
