Award-winning cake decorator Shane Bennett, (25), of Cake Fusion in the Idlewells Centre, Sutton, won silver at Cake International at the NEC, Birmingham.

Shane, who won bronze the previous year, based the cake on a song of one of his favourite band’s, Behemoth. It took him 80 hours to make and was one of 1,300 entries across 19 categories.

His Facebook page, Kult Cakes, features a number of his creations and the work of others following the same style of cake making.

At Cake Fusion, Shane enjoys creating in the “softer side” of cake decoration and is renowned for his decoration of celebration cakes featuring Telly Tubbies, Paw Patrol and designer bag cakes.

“There are so many aspects of cake decoration that I want to learn and get better at, including piping, painting and flowers,” he said.
