10 Hilarious Photos Of Animals Who Have An Uncanny Resemblance To Foods

I have told my cat countless times that he “looks so cute I could just eat him up!” And when he scratches at the oven trying to get in because he can feel the warmth, I jokingly threaten to bake him into a cat-cacasseroleone of us would ever actually take a bite out of our pets, but sometimes, they do end up looking pretty delicious!

I’m a simple woman: the highlights of my day every single day are eating delicious foods and hanging out with my adorable cat. I love cooking and baking, and I spend more time than I’d like to admit watching cooking videos and scrolling through recipes online. There’s always something new I’d like to try! And I’m obsessed with my cat. He’s the cutest little creature I’ve ever seen, and we’re best friends.

So this list combines two of my favorite things, while somehow making these animals appear even more adorable than they were before. The internet loves sharing photos of unappetizing foods or things that look like they could be edible but aren’t. But in this case, I’m not even disappointed that I can’t chomp down on these items that appear to be edible, because they’re still precious! At least I can feast upon these cuties with my eyes.

While most of us can agree that it doesn’t sound great to eat a dog, cat, parakeet, turtle, snake or hedgehog, many of us are interested in the opportunity to chomp down on a hyper-realistic cake. And some of them happen to look a lot like our beloved pets! The trend of creating cakes that look eerily like anything from hamburgers to humans has been huge online over the past few years, and some bakers specialize in making animal-inspired cakes.

Texas-based baker Dusty Sinclair wrote a piece for Newsweek breaking down how she became an expert on these animalistic cakes, noting that it all began in 2017 when she made a massive Mahi-Mahi cake for a friend’s wedding. “Once I had made that one cake, I was hooked! Pictures of it were published in the local papers here in Texas but, looking back, I don't think it was that good!” Dusty shared. “There are things you wish you could go back in time and fix. But once people saw the Mahi-Mahi cake, it began to grow. Now, I have two or three orders every weekend for these realistic fish or animal cakes.”

While it’s adorable to see animals that resemble foods, it can be adorable and delicious to see cakes that have an uncanny resemblance to animals. “I've made realistic cake versions of Blue Marlin, Saltfish, Snapper, Redfish, Trout, and Flounder and I have an upcoming Roosterfish. I've also made a lot of deer cakes—everyone loves the White-tailed deer—and I've made rattlesnakes and different ducks,” Dusty told Newsweek. 

The baker also noted that she strays away from using fondant on her creations and instead uses buttercream and modeling chocolate. “I don't like the way fondant tastes and I don't want my cakes to be known for looking pretty but tasting like Play-Doh,” Dusty says.
