Posted in: Today's Chili

Prepare your kill room. Lay down some plastic sheets and get your boat ready to ditch the evidence. You’ve got cake to eat. A cake that looks like Dexter Morgan.

To celebrate the start of the final season of Dexter, Miss Cakehead and Conjurers Kitchen created this epic cake for the guys at FOX. It is a pretty realistic and creepy Dexter Morgan head – baked to scale.

This cake shares the name of Dexter’s boat “A Slice of Life”. Get it? The entire cake started out measuring 5ft 10” long, the same height as Michael C. Hall, the actor who plays Dexter. But the rest of the kill was disposed of, presumably from the boat. The whole cake took over 100 hours to make and weighed over 105 kilograms.

It was made with 24 eggs, 25 kilograms of flour, 16 kilograms of buttercream, 18 kilograms of sugar, 20 kilograms of sugar paste and marzipan. And 20 blood oranges. An awesome cake for an awesome series. Though it should have been blood red on the inside.
