MICHAEL JACKSON
It took British baker Sonia Todd 150 hours to make this life-size 5' 9" sculpture of the late singer, which she did to raise money for St. Michael's Hospice in Harrogate, UK. Her secret ingredient? Rice crispy treat mix, which she used to craft the sweet statue. Just call him the King of Snap, Crackle and Pop.

PRINCE GEORGE
U.K. baker Lara Mason took home a gold award at the Cake International contest in Birmingham, England for her sponge cake of Prince George in the infamous red outfit (similar to the ensemble his dad Prince William wore at the same age!) worn to Princess Charlotte's christening earlier this year. The 3-foot confection took Mason – who is also known for her life-size dessert of Jennifer Lawrence – 30 hours to complete.

CAITLYN JENNER
Instagram food artist Jessie Bearden created a spot-on portrait of Caitlyn Jenner using only crushed cereal, a nod to the former Olympic athlete's famous Wheaties box cover.

BLAKE LIVELY
The Preserve founder has made her love of food very clear. But her excitement could hardly be contained when her portrait was created with bread, mozzarella, jellybeans, apple skins and cabbage. "@mariesaba you made my dreams true. I finally are what I eat!" she wrote on Instagram.

BLAKE LIVELY
The actress was so enamored by a fan's culinary creation of her likeness that she decided to create one of her own. This time, she went for sweet over savory, and did her self-portrait entirely in chocolate, with only one minor flaw: she put her signature mole on the wrong side. Lively wasn't shy in jokingly touting her portrait, captioning her Instagram, "Suck it Picasso."

PRINCESS CHARLOTTE
To welcome the newest Royal baby into the world, Zizzi Restaurant in the U.K. created this meat, cheese and veggie pizza masterpiece in the likeness of Princess Charlotte, Prince William and Princess Kate. We'll have two slices, please!

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
While many would say that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is good enough to eat, this life-size statue of him – made entirely out of chocolate – is actually edible. The giant, sculpted chocolate Cumberbar took 250 hours, 88 lbs. of chocolate and eight people to complete.

NIGELLA LAWSON
"Just found this quite bonkers pic of me posing with chocolate statue of self. Pleasingly mad life," the British chef wrote of her chocolate look-a-like statue, which sat in the window of U.K. department store Selfridges in 2003.

CHRISTIAN GREY
Sorry, Jamie Dornan, this Fifty Shades of Grey cake actually has nothing to do with you. The life-size confections (one shirtless and one clothed) were created in the likeness of the book's sexy main character – who is described as red-haired and rugged – and not as a tribute to Dornan's role in the new film.

MAGGIE SMITH
Downton Abbey's Dowager Countess (played by Dame Maggie Smith) was presented as a life-like dessert for a season five premiere event at the Fox Theater in Atlanta recently. The so-real-it's-spooky bust featured Smith's character in a purple coat, elaborate hat and elegant jewels. It was made by local baker and chocolate artist Karen Portaleo, who spent 18 hours fashioning vanilla cake and buttercream, with an Earl Grey tea soak, into the over-the-top confection.

KIM KARDASHIAN
While Kim's NSFW bare backside magazine cover did not break the Internet, there is now a cake pop in her naked honor. Lou Lou P's Delights created a Marzipan Kim Bum Pop and posted a photo asking, "I'm really very, very sorry but it had to be done … didn't it?"

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
He's Cumber-cute! The Sherlock star's dashing good looks were recreated atop a tasty cupcake, courtesy of Twitter user "cumbermuffin," and modeled after a photo shoot from the pages of PEOPLE. The spot-on replica is adorable and uncanny.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Baker Lara Clarke won the Cake International contest in Birmingham, England in November with a nearly six-foot-tall sponge cake created in the likeness of Lawrence's Hunger Games character Katniss Everdeen. What was the Oscar winner's reaction? It made her "dreams as an actress come true," she said.

PRINCE WILLIAM & DUCHESS CATHERINE

TAYLOR SWIFT
New York food artist Jessica Siskin created a cereal treat sculpture of Swift's Grammy-nominated album 1989, and shared the colorful concoction on Instagram. The edible reproduction of the Polaroid album cover includes T. Swift's red lipstick, blonde bob, seagull-decorated sweatshirt as well as the scrawled "T.S." and "1989."

BARACK OBAMA
The Commander-in-Chief was "bust"-ed in Chicago back in 2012, when conceptual art duo Adam Brooks and Mathew Wilson of Industry of the Ordinary hired Ohio artist Bob Kling to carve the President's head out of butter for a performance art project. No word if Obama gave his official seal of approval, but we do.

JENNIFER LOPEZ
This might be the wildest dessert of the year! For the singer's 45th birthday in July, SamiCakes Boutique owner Samantha Brooks conceptualized the nearly five-foot long confection of Lopez cozying up to a lion, which was a coconut-cream-filled lemon cake covered in fondant and modeling chocolate. "Apparently [Lopez] said it was delicious!" Brooks said. "She loved it."

KEVIN BACON
Meet "Bacon Kevin Bacon." The actor was the inspiration behind artist Mike Lahue's foodie piece, which was made with a Styrofoam core and bacon bits. The sculpture was auctioned off on eBay, with proceeds going to Ashley's Team, a non-profit organization working to bring joy to kids with cancer.

MARIO LOPEZ
That's one way to satisfy a craving! The Extra host got an up close and personal view of a life-sized statue modeled after him and his rock hard abs!
