British baker creates life-size Michael Jackson cake from rice crispy mixture
LONDON -- It's not every day you get to see a life-size, 5'9'' Michael Jackson model made entirely from rice crispy cake mixture.
British baker Sonia Todd, who's behind the epic creation, spent 150 hours crafting it to raise money for St Michael's Hospice in Harrogate, UK.

"I wanted to go to Cake International as it's my hobby," Todd told Mashable.
"I love Michael Jackson and love cake decorating so I thought that I would enter his shoes, hat and glove... then I thought I'd rather do his head and shoulders and then I thought 'this is Michael Jackson the king of pop' -- he was a showman -- so I made him life size: all 5ft 9 inches of him. With size 9 shoes."

Todd went on to say that she's made the Michael Jackson cake twice now.
"The first attempt was cake (Man in the Madeira)," she said. "But if you have seen pictures all that gold armour would not hold onto the cake so I took to YouTube and Google and then rebuilt him from rice crispy treat mix (King of Snap, Crackle and Pop)."
