Cake artist creates hyper-realistic cakes that look like raw meat and even a slug

A young artist has fooled millions on TikTok with her hyper-realistic, provocative cakes of fake raw meat and even a SLUG.

Tatum Parden, an Artist and Fine Art student at Central Saint Martins University in London, began making realistic cakes after being inspired by "weird" artwork with unconventional materials.

Twenty-year-old Tatum filmed herself making a realistic pigeon cake which she ran over with a car.

After posting the video to Instagram, Tatum realised she loved the combination of realism with the shocked response from viewers.

Tatum has always been into sculpture and when she needed a new project, she landed on the idea of making a realistic raw chicken leg out of cake.

Her raw chicken cake video suddenly went viral, with people equally impressed and entirely grossed out by her talent.
