(BBC) A woman whose life-sized Johnny Depp cake made headlines around the world believes she has gone one better by baking a full-size version of actress Jennifer Lawrence.
Lara Clarke, 28, from Walsall, won gold at the Cake International competition in Birmingham in 2013 with her 5ft 5in (1.65m) Jack Sparrow creation.Ms Clarke said she received some criticism about her 2013 entry, which was made of crisped rice.
Her latest creation is a sponge cake.
"People said my crisped rice Johnny Depp cake wasn't a proper cake, so I wanted to show them I could make a life-sized sponge cake," said Ms Clarke.
She said she had chosen to bake a replica of Lawrence - in full Hunger Games mode - because she was a "massive fan" of the films.
During her two-and-a-half months of working on the cakes, Ms Clarke researched the actress's height, waist and bust measurements online and claims the 5ft 10in (1.7m) cake is exactly life-sized.
She is entering the Lawrence cake, alongside a cake of her favourite Game of Thrones character, Tyrion Lannister, in the large decorative exhibit section of the competition at the National Exhibition Centre - the same section in which she won gold in 2013.
Since her success with her Johnny Depp creation, which made the news in the US and China, Ms Clarke has received a number of commissions for giant cakes, including one from Jaguar Land Rover and one from ITV's This Morning.

Although she has set up a small baking business, she continues to work for a bingo website.Following the 2013 competition, she says her Johnny Depp creation spent three months in her mother-in-law's garage before being broken up and thrown away.
"He still looked perfect, but there are only so many giant cakes you can have around your house," she said.
