Cake designer Michelle Wibowo spent more than 200 hours on the creation.

A life-sized cake of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy has been created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the BBC's Pride And Prejudice miniseries.

The six-foot-tall cake was unveiled at the National Trust property Lyme Park, in Cheshire, England, which was used as the character's home of Pemberley in the adaptation.


Cake artist Michelle Wibowo, who created the sponge Mr. Darcy, said she “couldn't be happier" with the results.

“What better reason than the 25th anniversary of the series of 'Pride And Prejudice' to create a birthday cake to celebrate," she said.

Ms. Wibowo worked on the life-sized cake for more than 200 hours. She started by sketching a model based on the 1995 TV adaptation, which will be re-broadcast as part of Jane Austen season on TV station Drama.

The cake itself contains 20kg of flour, 20kg of butter, and 45kg of sugar.

"I've created cakes of everyone from the Queen to Beyoncé, but Mr. Darcy officially tops the list as the most delicious model I've ever made," Ms. Wibowo said.

"I hope his legions of fans will approve!"

And it would appear that they do.




We feel you.

Jane Austen season on Drama will air on Sundays, September 6–20.

Ted Cruz's Epic Freudian Slip About 'Pedophiles' During Senate Speech Resurfaces—And Oof

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked for an October video that resurfaced and showed him offering some bipartisan advice during a Senate hearing, only for his advice to go completely off the rails after an awkward "verbal slip" that made him look as if he was defending "pedophiles."

That's really not the best look considering what we know from the latest release of documents related to the Epstein files, which contain information about some of President Donald Trump's former friend and associate Jeffrey Epstein's most high-profile clients and enablers. The late disgraced financier was a convicted pedophile and sex trafficker.
