LONDON – While J.K. Rowling will be getting a few birthday wishes from fans today, we're willing to bet she'll only get one life-size, edible bust of Harry Potter's head.
A group of food artists from around the world collaborated to create some seriously impressive Potter-themed food art in celebration of the author's 50th birthday, ranging from large character sculptures to intricate recreations of key scenes from the books.
The project has been in the planning for the last year, after two U.S. bakers came up with the idea and recruited other members from across the world.
British cake sculptor and owner of Tasty Cakes, Lara Clarke, took part in the project by baking a life-size, edible bust of Harry Potter. "I didn't time myself," she told Mashable when asked how long it took her. "I watched the first three Harry Potter films while I was making it – so it probably took around six hours in total."
