最近，一位網友因為自制的創意戚風蛋糕而走紅。蘇珊娜是一名全職主婦，她從孩子的毛絨玩具得到靈感，將戚風蛋糕做成可愛的貓咪、胖胖的小熊等毛絨玩具形狀，這些卡通蛋糕不僅造型逼真，且松軟可口、健康美味，受到很多人的喜愛。

From cute cats to cuddly bears, these adorable creations would not look out of place on a toy shop shelf.

But these charming characters are not the latest must-have children's play things - they are actually delicious - and incredibly realistic - party cakes.
不過，它們可不是孩子們必備的最新玩具，實際上，這些好看的小東西是美味且逼真的聚餐蛋糕。

Stay-at-home mother Susanne Ng, 37, from Singapore, delights family, friends and more than 23,000 Instagram followers with her creative chiffon cakes, which take the shape of animals, fruit, and cartoon characters.
37歲的蘇珊娜是來自新加坡的一位全職媽媽，她制作的動物、水果和卡通人物創意戚風蛋糕得到了家人朋友以及23000多位Ins粉絲的一致好評。

Not only are the colorful designs eye-catching, they are also healthier than traditional bakes.

Speaking to FEMAIL, she said: 'They are lower in sugar, being only around a quarter of the sugar content of normal cakes, and contain no butter.
蘇珊娜告訴《每日郵報》女性頻道：“這些蛋糕的含糖量更低，只有一般蛋糕的四分之一，并且不含黃油。
