Moss and Cake!

British sculptor Marc Quinn is ready to unveil his $2.8 million, 110-pound solid gold statue of the supermodel, hyped as the largest such creation built since ancient Egypt.

The British Museum gets it we guess and have only released one picture so far:


Quinn also created a painted bronze statue of Moss titled "sphinx" where she appeared in a yoga pose.

So, in honor of the original sphinxes we bring you this fantastic blog about cake disasters:

So, remember kids: always enjoy art and eat cake!
