Whether it's for Halloween, baby showers, weddings or just for the sake of it, some people have been getting their cake inspiration from where you'd least expect it. We're sure they're still delicious but would you ever eat a slice of a very realistic cockroach cake?
Here are 13 of the most gruesome cakes that probably wouldn't make it anywhere near your plate, no matter how much of a sweet tooth you are!
1. Suddenly a cute newborn baby cake isn't such a good idea

Good use of strawberries though.

Where would you even start to eat it?
10. Cockroaches are definitely not cake worthy animals

Malasyan baker Fish made this cockroach cake to scare a friend on her birthday and we can't say we're surprised it worked! Dark chocolate and mint fondant icing never looked this unappetizing.
11. That's a very bloody brain

Ewwww! This brain cake looks so realistic we're not sure we can trick our brains into thinking it's a sweet treat. Our kids on the other hand...
12. Feeding off the beast

This impressive custom cake made by Jacqui Kelly of Totally Sugar was created in marzipan and white chocolate modelling paste. but we're not sure if even the biggest chocolate fans would dare have a bite of that angry face.
13. Fudge will never be the same
