Beautiful animal, plant and nature cakes, by BBC Wildlife readers
Beautiful animal, plant and nature cakes, by BBC Wildlife readers
With the return of the Great British Bake Off: The Professionals to our screens, we asked BBC Wildlife readers to share baking creations which feature wildlife!
We knew that BBC Wildlife readers were a talented bunch already, but now we're even more impressed by their skills! Check out these stunning wildlife cakes!
From pangolins to puffins, from foxes to frogs – these cakes are very biodiverse. Will you be inspired to make your own?
If you do, you can e-mail Megan Shersby to submit it for inclusion on this page.
