Cake creations go on display at annual baking exhibition in Birmingham

Bakers have created incredible edible displays for this year’s Cake International event at Birmingham’s NEC.

As a tribute to the latest Peaky Blinders series, cake artists Stephanie Would, of Bradford, Jane Lashbrook, of London, Sherrilee Clark and Corinna Maguire created an immersive Garrison pub where visitors could pull up a chair and sit down with a life-sized cake version of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy).

People get the chance to step into the garrison and soak up the atmosphere with favorite members of the Shelby family.

While Emma Jayne made the Egyptian Pharaoh’s greatest cake creation ever, Tutankhamun made all of sponge cake, crispy rice mixture, icing and sugar paste

The team of creative cakemasters is led by Cake Nation artist Stephanie, who says it’s been a “big project” for her team.

She said: ‘We all know the popularity that the Peaky Blinders television show has had around the world, and I can’t wait to bring our creation of the Shelbys in the familiar setting of The Garrison to the NEC in November.

“It’s a huge project for us that we hope everyone will enjoy seeing on behalf of the Peaky Blinders.”
