REUTERS/Lam YikHONG KONG: A bakery studio in Hong Kong is aiming to bounce back from its COVID-19 slump with"illusion cakes" that appear to be everyday objects until you take a slice.

Now they can make-to-order cakes that look uncannily like almost anything, from a pair of flip-flops to sea-urchin sashimi or even a dish sponge.From a crisis level of three-to-four weekly orders during March and April, the studio is now receiving 15-20 orders a week. An illusion cake costs at least HK$1,500 , with some going for HK$12,000-HK$13,000.“I’m personally super thrilled that we have reached this stage ... We never expected that this will blow up," Chan said.
