Would you like to have a piece from a giant gingerbread sculpture inspired by a popular character?
A Norwegian cake artist has been creating enormous gingerbreads that are too beautiful to eat. On her Instagram account @caroline.d.eriksson, Caroline Eriksson has been sharing her awe-inspiring food sculptures of popular characters such as Groot, Optimus Prime, among others.
It all started in December 2013 when she showed off her Optimus Prime food sculpture made up of 700 to 800 pieces of gingerbread. Pictures of her first giant gingerbread sculpture got a lot attention online and even won the grand prize of 40,000 NOK ($6,500) in a gingerbread contest.
Well, since then, she has been dedicating all her free time in the two months leading up to Christmas every year to create her amazing gingerbreads
Social media users absolutely love her wonderful creations; leaving praises and commendations.
“Are you freaking kidding me? This is incredible! I love it! You are amazing!” Instagram user @cakesbychrissybelle wrote in the comments section of one of Caroline’s uploaded photos.
“Now THAT is a gingerbread man! Wow!” commented @nemiak.
“This is amazing! I love your work!” said @annaandraven2017.
Meanwhile, she also created an Alien Xenomorph gingerbread sculpture.
“It’s an iron structure inside with sculptured gingerbread on top. I made an inner skeleton with correct proportions, and then drew pieces/designs to fit on top of it,” she shared.
“I’ve altered the usual recipe a bit to make it stronger– so I wouldn’t recommend for eating, but I’m using twice the amount of syrup and no baking powder. It makes the gingerbread harder and gives it a smoother surface! There’s a whole lot of melted sugar to keep it together!”
How to eat those masterpieces then?
