I featured a selection of book-inspired cakes back in 2010, but this time around I wanted to pull out some of the more disturbing examples I came across in my browsing (yes, these are jaw-dropping for a range of reasons, but there's a sampling of non-creepy cakes at the end to keep you going).

Or maybe you'd prefer a simpering Pooh waiting for you in your bathtub?





I'm pretty sure this isn't what Jesus had in mind when he said, "Take this and eat it, for this is my body."





Sometimes, a side of blood is just the thing to make a dry cake palatable.





Buy one, get nightmares free.





And to cleanse your palate:
