Amateur baker Lara Mason spent more than 100 hours recreating her daughters in cake.
An amateur baker has created life-size cake versions of her twin daughters to celebrate their first birthday.
Lara Mason, 31, from Walsall, spent more than 100 hours crafting the edible version of her daughters Lily and Lyla.
The creation was made from 44 eggs, 2.2kg of flour and 4kg of buttercream.
"It's the most critical I have ever been while making 'cake people' because I feel like I did such a good job making them so cute in the first place," Mrs Mason said.
It took Mrs Mason more than 100 hours to craft the cakes
Mrs Mason said she wanted the cakes to be as 'cute' as her daughters
In a post on Facebook, Mrs Mason said the effort was "100% worth it" and joked she would be "cleaning buttercream out of the floorboards for months".
She added: "What other kids get to say that their mum made them life-size cakes of themselves for their first birthday?"
The amateur baker said her hobby keeps her occupied during the weekends
She added the hardest part was the hair, made out of pulled sugar, with each individual strand made separately.
Mrs Mason also made a Johnny Depp cake in 2013
