“Cake”
That spider’s got to be like 90% fondant… I confess that I’m a bit annoyed that the current trend in highly-decorated “cakes” is that they’re more accurately fondant sculptures with a wee bit of cake in the middle. One could have highly-decorated cakes that were actually cake (though it would be a lot more difficult, especially to make them look like other things), or be honest about it being candy (though I suspect not a lot of people are that thrilled about fondant).
Still, it’s a nicely made bit of… confection.

Still awaiting the dramatic twist in which “Natalia Sideserf” is herself revealed to be an incredibly elaborate cake.

Is It Cake has the nice feature where in the end, the cakes are at least partially judged on the quality, flavor and creativity of the cake inside the sculpture. I feel like partially addresses @Shuck’s complaint (which I share, a big slab of fondant looks very unappetizing to me, unless I can successfully imagine it as a giant AirHead, YMMV)

Seconded. Fondant is barely edible.

Interviewer: So, Ms. Sideserf—when did you get so interested in making lifelike cakes?
Sideserf: I am cake. I have always been cake.
Interviewer: [chuckles uncomfortably]
Sideserf: [pulls out knife and cuts chunk out of own face, revealing only cake inside]
Interviewer: My… God…
Sideserf: There is no God. Only cake. [thrusts knife into interviewer’s torso]
Interviewer: [looks down in dawning horror as he realizes he has only chocolate layer cake and raspberry filling where his heart should be]

Ah, that’s better, then - it’s still candy, but edible candy at least.

I might use this argument to counter any Flat Earth types I encounter.
“The Earth is not flat. But you are right in one respect – THEY are lying to us. The Earth is round. But it’s cake. All of it. Delicious layer cake. With a centre of chocolate mousse. But THEY don’t want us to know. That’s why the laws about mineral rights are written the way they are.”
