An award-winning cake artist was left scrambling to rescue her Taylor Swift cake after a shipping mishap, which meant the iconic creation was damaged in transit.
Elza Baldzhiyska, who is famed for her realistic cakes, was devastated when she realised her hands of her life-size creation had been shaken off while en route to the Cake International show at Birmingham's NEC from her home in Windsor.
Cracks had also appeared in the icing appeared on the shoulders and on the singer’s trademark blonde locks. Other pictures also showed it bet sideways at the knees.
One witness said: “Elza is understandably disappointed and shocked by the damage but she’s an absolute professional and will fix it." However, it has been pulled from the show for now.
It is thought Elza spent more than 100 hours creating her Taylor Swift model which wore the iconic blue and white sequin dress the singer wore in The Eras Tour.
Visitors can also expect a fright from the immersive Sugar Scream showpiece by Mrs Macabres Toy Emporium. A 7ft tall birthday cake is also on display at the centre of the show to celebrate 30 years of Cake International.
Meanwhile, film industry expert sculptor Gary Pollard will showcase his impressive giant dragon slayer model.
Eagle-eyed Great British Bake Off fans are in for a treat as the shows 2023 winner Matty Edgell is making a guest appearance.
Cake International runs from Friday until Sunday (3/11).
