The awesomely macabre skull wedding cake is the work of culinary wizard and food artist Annabel de Vetten, aka Conjurer’s Kitchen. You might not guess to look at it, but everything about this cake is edible. Working from a theme of “‘Til Death Do Us Part,” Annabel created the incredible cake for the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza, which recently took place in Birmingham, England.

“It features solid chocolate skulls of 16 carrion crows, 12 domestic kittens, 3 Vervet monkeys, and 4 barn owls, all of which the artist sculpted by hand. Made from White Chocolate Mudcake, the cake took her over 100 hours to complete in total. There are two options of toppers: a chocolate conjoined kitten skull, or dried flowers from an actual wedding bouquet (ones shown here from her own).”

Visit Conjurer’s Kitchen to see more of Annabel de Vetten’s creepy confections.
