"I started out making a KFC cake and the reaction to it was wild,’ Selina told .

"People kept saying to me how amazing they thought it was after I posted a photo of it online."

The mum continued: "The kids often pick up chips and pieces of chicken thinking they’re real. They’re never very impressed when they turn out to be cake."

She explained that each cake can take days to finish, since some seemingly minor elements - like chips and lettuce leaves - can individually take hours to create.
