If someone presented you with 7500 cakes and 200 hours what would you do? Gorge yourself silly, take to the streets and distribute them to all and sundry? Or sculpt the baked goods into a life-sized replica of Roald Dahl's beloved BFG?

For food artist Michelle Wibowo the launch of a new range of 'exceedingly good' cakes, based on the works of one of the world's best-selling children's authors, was too good an opportunity to pass up: "It was a pleasure to create such a loved character using some of Britain's most iconic cakes."

Weighing in at a delumptious half a tonne, Wibowo used a whole range mouth-watering treats to build the 7.32 metre high edible sculpture - everything from Cream Fancies, Cherry Bakewells, George's Marvellous Lemon and Raspberry Whirls to Mr Fox's Fantastic Forest Slices.

Four times the size of a human bean - for size comparison aficionados that's almost two double-decker buses (we don't have the Olympic swimming poll equivalence) - the team behind the sweet creation thought better of unveiling it in Scotland, fearing it may have been collectively devoured on first sight.

Instead it was unveiled atop London's Primrose Hill where passers-by apparently gazed in amazement and left the sweet creation unlicked.

The fate of the gargantuan, ucky mucky statue remains unknown with sources also unable to say whether whizzpopping frobscottle is also to be made available to wash it down with. We wait with bated breath to see if a certain Scottish caramel wafer manufacturer rises to the challenge with their own epic creation.
