Cakenstein
Enter the Deliciously Dark World of Sugar Screams’ Cakenstein
This year at Cake International, horror meets sugar in this jaw-dropping edible haunted house inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Over 70 top-tier cake artists from around the world have joined forces to bring you a terrifying spectacle of sugar, sound, and spine-tingling surprises.
Wander through the feature amongst life-size edible figures of Dr. Frankenstein, his monstrous creation and bride, a ghoulish grave digger, a mad assistant, and even Mary Shelley herself. Expect experiments gone wrong, creatures from the deep, and a scattering of body parts—all sculpted from sugar and cake! With eerie soundscapes, dramatic smoke effects, and plenty of selfie spots, this is a frightfully fun experience for every sweet-toothed thrill-seeker.
Can’t make it to Birmingham? Don’t worry—the horror (and artistry) continues online, with behind-the-scenes content, artist spotlights, exclusive videos, and interactive elements, so you can get a taste of the terror wherever you are in the world.
It’s alive… and it’s edible! Join us—if you dare.
