Edible architecture: 'Pastry Paradise' exhibition
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Gameloft has marked the National Pastry Day with the launch of the world’s first exhibition of edible architecture 'Pastry Paradise' presenting the 'Modern Wonders of the World.'
Five of the UK’s finest bakers have been commissioned to create the pastry versions of the most iconic landmarks around the world.
The Trifle Tower, the London Pie, the Taj Mille-Feuille, the Empire Cake Building and the Battenberg Gate have been built as scale models of their architectural equivalents. Standing over 1.5 metres tall, the Empire Cake Building towers over the other buildings in the collection, while, at 32.4 kilograms, the Taj Mille-Feuille is the heavyweight of the group.
The cakes are on display at the Proud Archivist galleries in London’s art hub, Shoreditch until 12 December 2014. The exhibition will culminate in the consumption of the artworks by the viewing public.
