Andrew Fuller is a cake sculptor from Des Moines, Iowa. He’s a true horror fan and “believer that every day is Halloween.” He makes creepy cakes that are too disgusted to actually eat. Fuller, aka Guy Meets Cake in his social media accounts, recently created a terrifying pie inspired by serial killer Ed Gein.
“I am relatively new to the world of cake, but those who know me know that my goal is to creep people out,” Fuller told Mashable.
The gruesome pie was inspired by the “people pot pies” from horror prop maker, ‘It Came From Under My Bed’. He said that the cherry-mint creation was particularly hard to make since pie “isn’t the easiest medium to work with.”
“Often times, people just kind of assume you cut out shapes and throw it in the oven,” Fuller explained. “But there are so many things you have to consider.”
“You have to be very methodical and deliberate with each cut, how you size the different elements, and how to structure things,” he added.
Fuller prefers making cakes as he is able to “map out blueprints” which is the key to his gravity-defying desserts.
Fuller describes himself as an “artist first and baker second.” “Baking is a science. Measurements have to be exact,” he said. “It’s all very precise … I’m not exactly a rule follower and clean edges are my nemesis, so pastries and baked goods are a lot more difficult for me than I truly realized.”
Though he struggles with the lack of improvisation in baking, Fuller’s creativity is manifested in his edible horror confections. He has also teamed up with cake artist Michelle Honeman for a collaboration called “Sugar Freakshow,” where they’re focusing on “creepy, kooky, macabre, gory, scary, weird, hyperrealistic, odd, and unique cakes.”
