Cake creations go on display at annual baking exhibition in Birmingham

Bakers have created incredible edible displays for this year’s Cake International event at the NEC in Birmingham.

As a tribute to the final series of Peaky Blinders, cake artists Stephanie Would, from Bradford, Jane Lashbrook, from London, Sherrilee Clark and Corinna Maguire created an immersive Garrison pub for visitors to pull up a chair and sit down with a life-size cake version of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy).

People will have the chance to step into the Garrison and soak up the atmosphere with favourite members of the Shelby family.
