Life-size Sabrina Carpenter cake marks UK tour

A baker has created a life-sized model of pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter entirely out of cake.

TikTok videos of Lara Mason, from Walsall, creating the edible sculpture amassed more than 10 million views in a matter of days.

The creation took five days and 75kg (165 lbs) in ingredients to complete in celebration of the star's UK leg of the Short n Sweet tour.

Standing at 5ft (1.52m ) tall, the model was made using vanilla cake and chocolate ganache, and depicts the singer wearing a union flag outfit.

"Sabrina has been all over my TikTok for the last few weeks with her tour," Ms Mason said.

"I constantly have her songs going round in my head. So once I realised she was coming to the UK I thought it was the ideal time to make a cake tribute to her."

The 38-year-old baker has made cakes for more than 13 years, and similar sculptures have represented Taylor Swift, Johnny Depp, Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion and Jim Carey as The Grinch.

The baker said: "The sculpting of her face is always the biggest trust-the-process moment."

She added that was because when she put sneak peeks of her work-in-progress on social media, she "got loads of comments" from people saying they were "terrified" by the early skeleton-like appearance of the piece before it fully took shape.

"But I loved making her Union Jack dress," she explained. "[It] took me back to the Spice Girls days. I also loved adding her hair at the end, as I think that pulled the whole thing together."
