Cake maker’s Walking Dead tribute so gruesome it made her feel sick

A SCOTS baker has created an grotesque zombie cake with decomposed flesh, protruding bones and ravenous maggots in homage to hit TV show, The Walking Dead.

Christie Howieson loves making gory cakes but admitted this creation was so horrible it made her feel physically sick.

The 24-year-old from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, captured the five-hour creation process in a mesmerising time-lapse video.

In the clip Christie is shown piecing together a circular sponge to resemble a hand, together with a longer piece for the zombie’s wrist and forearm.

She then spreads butter icing along the whole sponge before covering with grey icing to resemble a dull skintone shade resembling the characters in the popular FOX show.

The talented Scot then attaches the zombies fingers before intricately creating several open wounds exposing strangely realistic bones protruding out from them.

Red food colouring is then added to create the flesh before Christie adds her own homemade maggots – just to make the cake even more grotesque.

Christie uploaded the video onto her page, Cake Days A Week on Monday evening attracting over 1,700 views.

She captioned it: “The Walking Dead. When you make a wee cake that makes you feel whitey #zombiehand. Not for the faint hearted.”

Speaking today, she said: “I love doing the gory ones but it actually was making me feel so sick.”

Christie, who is a fan of the show, has also created incredibly realistic cakes in the theme of Game of Thrones and Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Walking Dead season eight returned to television screens last week.

It’s an American post-apocalyptic horror show based on a comic book series of the same name.

The show first began with lead character, Andrew Lincoln, who plays sheriff deputy Rick Grimes, awakening from a coma and discovering the world has been overrun with zombies.

Grimes then becomes the leader of a group he forms with survivors trying to survive and adapt to the world.

However, Grimes soon realises it’s not only the zombies he and his group need to fear, but instead other opposing groups of survivors.
