A king-size cake is just one of the many creations at the Cake International show in Birmingham this weekend.

His Majesty's head was made out of Rice Krispies and marshmallows and his face is the result of modelling chocolate.

More than 2,500 zodiac crystals, including giant ruby and sapphire crystals, were used for the crown, which took cake artist Emma Jayne five days to put together.

There is also a life-size figure of Birmingham rockstar Ozzy Osbourne, as well as a showpiece inspired by TV show Stranger Things.

It's expected to welcome thousands of cake lovers, with hundreds of different designs at the event taking place till Sunday.
