North London: A guy named Keith Scovell has become a TikTok star thanks to his wild cake that looks just like Claudia Winkleman. This cake is a real showstopper, featuring Tic Tac teeth and black icing that mimics her famous hairstyle.
Keith, a 55-year-old HR consultant from Kentish Town, has been baking these fun cakes for a while now. He only started sharing them on social media last year, and they took off like wildfire. His Winkleman cake alone has racked up nearly 200,000 views and over 30,000 likes!
He’s a big fan of Claudia and the show “The Traitors,” and he loves making people laugh with his quirky creations. Keith said he thought about how unique Claudia’s features are and wanted to capture that in cake form. He admits his cakes are just his imagination running wild.
The cake really highlights Claudia’s big mouth, complete with white Tic Tac teeth and lots of black icing for her signature bangs and eye makeup. Keith loves making cakes that have a bit of a quirky vibe, and he thinks the mouth is always the funny part of his designs.
Interestingly, Keith’s lip-reading skills, which he developed due to hearing impairment, help him nail the facial expressions in his cake designs. He’s not a professional baker, but he enjoys whipping up cakes for friends and family, including a Taylor Swift-themed cake for his niece’s birthday.
He’s even had his cakes featured on ITV’s “This Morning,” which got him some attention. Although he’s received offers from places like the US and Australia, he jokes that his cakes might scare small kids if they saw them in a shop window.
Each cake takes him about two to three hours to make, plus the baking time for a simple Victoria sponge. He describes his baking skills as “very basic” but insists that his cakes, while looking a bit odd, are definitely edible. At first, the social media fame was a bit much for him, but seeing people’s reactions has made it all worthwhile.
He’s thrilled that there’s been no negative feedback on his creations, which is pretty rare these days. Keith plans to keep baking and spreading joy, encouraging everyone to share what makes them happy. After all, if something makes you smile, it’s bound to brighten someone else’s day too!
