These savoury dishes might look like they would be suited to being served up at the dinner table - but they are actually made entirely from CAKE.
From burger and chips to a jacket potato and baked beans, talented baker Nikki Dixon has created them all from the humble Victoria sponge - and some clever icing.
The incredibly realistic cakes are served in the same manner as the dishes they copy, with the burger being garnished with shortbread chips - and even served with a 'ketchup' dip - made from raspberry jam.
What at first glance appears to be a sandwich baked on soft white bread, dripping with mayonniase, is actually a vanilla sponge filled with cream.
Baker Nikki, from Southampton, has now turned her passion for food fixing into a business - and is inundated with orders for her unusual desserts after opening FoodieCakes in December last year.
Nikki, 22, said: 'I started making novelty cakes after I decided to bake my boyfriend, John, a birthday meal.
'He loves burgers, but I wanted to make something a bit special - so I decided to make him a burger birthday cake.
'He loved it, and posted a picture of it on Facebook - but before long there were more comments about the cake than there were people wishing him happy birthday.
'People were begging me to make them a food cake too, and before long, I was spending most of my time baking novelty cakes.
'I love coming up with new ideas and new challenges.
'I've just perfected a jacket potato and baked beans cake, which was very fiddly, but it looked great - and the customer was thrilled with it.
'I started my own business about six months ago and I've been inundated with orders ever since.
'I'll make whatever anyone asks for - some are easier than others, but cakes and icing are pretty versatile.
'I've started making mini-bagels and little sandwiches too, which are really popular with corporate customers - I guess they make a talking point in the board room!'
