“The inside is made of layers of vanilla cake and swiss buttercream,” explains Natalie, owner of Sideserf Cake Studio. “Once carved, the entire cake is covered in a layer of chocolate ganache and a final layer of modeling chocolate to sculpt the details.”

The cake was featured on a promotional video clip on the AMC network. It’s not the first time Natalie’s cakes have gone viral. She made her breakthrough with a hyper-realistic cake of Willie Nelson. She also became popular for her “till death do us part” wedding cake modeled after her own severed head.
