Welcome back to more of The Baking Dead. The Baking Dead is a collaboration consisting of over 50 cake and sugar artists celebrating the hit AMC series The Walking Dead and helping to spread the word about Domestic Violence Prevention and Awareness. You can find The Baking Dead on the web, Facebook, and Twitter.
These sugar artists come from all over the globe. Each artist chose a character or scene from the show to recreate in sugar or cake form. They were asked to incorporate the emotion and relationships that are conveyed in the show and use butter, sugar, candy and cake to make you “feel” through their piece, in much the same way that the show conveys such strong emotions.
Since the beginning of the show, the issue of domestic violence has reared it’s ugly head and continues to be an issue faced throughout the series. The Baking Dead decided to dedicate this collaboration to all the survivors of domestic violence and to link with as many domestic violence prevention and awareness organizations as possible, including the National Center on Domestic & Sexual Violence. One really cool thing that has come out of this is that The National Center on Domestic & Sexual Violence has been promoting The Baking Dead on Facebook and Twitter and contacted Renay Presley Zamora who heads up The Baking Dead. Many in The Baking Dead group have been touched by or are survivors of domestic violence in one form or another and felt that this would be a great opportunity to get the word out.
The Baking Dead contribution that I’m featuring this time is called Lori Standing at her Grave. It was made by Carolina Lara. This is one of my favorite pieces made for The Baking Dead. This is one of two companion pieces made by Carolina Lara. Check back tomorrow and you’ll find 
The likeness to Sarah Wayne Callies, the actress who played Lori Grimes, is wonderful.
The dress that Lori is wearing is her wedding dress. Rick sees a vision of Lori in her wedding dress at her grave site in at least two episodes – The Suicide King and Home.
Here is a photograph of Lori in her wedding dress from the TV show.
The sign behind Lori reads “It’s so easy to do the wrong thing in this world. So if it feels wrong, don’t do it, if it feels easy don’t do it, don’t let the world spoil you. GOODNIGHT, LOVE.” These were the last words Lori said to her son Carl.
Carolina Lara also made another amazing sculpture which goes with this one. I’ll showcase it tomorrow.
Remember: this amazing Walking Dead edible sculpture is just one of 50+ items created for The Baking Dead! To see the rest, visit The Baking Dead. You can find them on the web,Facebook, and Twitter.
