It appears the return of the hit TV show has inspired Londoners to try their hand at creating show-stopping bakes.
Yesterday (September 26) The Shard hosted a record-breaking Macmillan coffee morning that floated 244 metres above London.
The event served up a towering 2-metre replica cake of the iconic building.
The spectacular cake, a 1:155 replica of the building’s height took a team of cake designer’s 146 hours to meticulously craft.
Bakers used 20 kilograms of icing and 15kg of Belgian chocolate for the ganache coating.
The creation served a staggering 700 portions as the centrepiece of the event, wowing attendees with its sheer size and intricate detail.
