I am a cyborg. Please eat me.<\/p>\n
Ganesh Khedekar's futuristic cake may not look that appetising but the chocolate creation with skin-like icing won its creator gold in this year's New Zealand Culinary Fare.<\/p>\n
Mr Khedekar worked away \"bit by bit\" on the 45kg cake for 40 hours over three weeks.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old, who works at Browns Bay's Chocolate Earth specialty cake store, won silver last year but topped his result this year by using LED lights and going for the quirky factor.<\/p>\n
The cyborg cake was a year in the making in collaboration with his boss Kevin Martin.<\/p>\n
It is a \"family show\", Ganesh says, so the cake could not be \"too scary\".<\/p>\n
The torso is a chocolate shell which can be removed so the cake inside can be eaten and put back together.<\/p>\n
Co-worker Felicity Craft, 21, got a bronze for her pure black four-tiered cake with origami birds and a solid egg on top.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
