A self-taught Dundee baker was awarded second place at a national cake competition after creating an edible version of the V&A.
Lynsey Latto, of Clark’s Bakery, designed a tasty version of the V&A as part of the Cake Fest Scotland competition.
Her V&A design featured a more than 2,500 iced tiles, all of which were handmade.
She said: “I really wanted to do the city proud with this cake. Everyone knows about V&A Dundee and I felt a lot of pressure to get it right.
“It has been quite a challenge because there is so much unusual detail to consider.
“The most time consuming part of the design has been making 2500 individual iced tiles to cover the outside of the V&A Dundee building.
“In 2013 I made a cake in shape of the Hilltown multi’s when they were being demolished and I think that’s when I first caught the bug for creating unusual cakes.”
Cake creations of the Tay Road Bridge, the DCA, the Timex factory and the Verdant Works were also built as part of the national competition.
A baked version of the Skye Bridge took first place in the bakers competition.
Run as part of the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design 2016, Cake Fest saw designers and bakers from all over the country recreating famous Scottish landmarks.
More than 100 iconic Scottish locations were constructed to make a 100 square metre edible map of the country.
Hundreds of guests joined the architects and bakers gathered in Stirling to take part in the national festival, getting the opportunity to see the cakes firsthand.
The visitors then has the opportunity to eat their way across the map.
Simon Preston, organiser of Cake Fest Scotland, said: ““We were delighted when Clark’s Bakery got in touch last minute to say they were submitting a V&A Dundee cake.
“It is going to be such an important building for all of Scotland so it was only right to see it on the map amongst all the other historic and contemporary landmarks.”
