SA accountant-turned-baker who makes life-size cakespublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 17 May 2022
A South African accountant-turned-baker who made a life-sized cake of Grammy Award winning DJ, Black Coffee, told the BBC’s Newsday programme that the cake was delicious and was built with metal structures to support it.
The cake was 6.5ft (2m) tall and weighed more than 15 stone (100kg).
“To begin I had to get metals that resembled the bone structure,”,Kurhula Makhuwele said.
“I started with the head, that was the most difficult part because it had to look like him,” she continued.
She said despite her focus on the aesthetics, the way the cake tastes is the most important thing.
“Would you believe it? It was eaten on the same day that it was delivered, almost half of it.”
Black Coffee made history in April when he became the first African artist to win a Grammy award for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
