The dessert was carved to create the basis of the mountain shapes and underwater portion of the cake, then the mountain peaks were made using the excess cake and ganache.

The incredible surrounding firm blue jelly representing the sea was made using gelatine, water, sugar and lemon juice.

Images of the end result caught the attention of hundreds of others online who were impressed with the outcome.

‘Wow! That’s awesome! Just simply amazing!’ one woman wrote.

‘How creative! Just love it. Your daughter is lucky to have such a skilled mum to do such a gorgeous cake,’ another added.
