The last time comedian Laura Daniel made a cake in the guise of Jacinda Ardern, it made international news and was dubbed “haunting” and “nightmare inducer” on Instagram.
The amount of attention the cake received “blew [her] mind, ”he said.

“I definitely bit off more than I could chew,” Daniel said, no pun intended.

“They take a long time to do. I didn’t take a single YouTube lesson or tutorial, and that could have made it a bit faster if I had. I just did it a lot. “
David Seymour’s cake, depicting the ACT leader in his infamous twerking episode of Dancing with the stars, was particularly time consuming and involved having to bake the sultana pie, chosen because Daniel thought it would resonate with voters in Seymour’s electorate in Epsom, for the second time after its collapse.

Daniel also cut his finger while decorating the candy, prompting Seymour to say, “I’m so sorry, I feel like my butt is responsible for your finger.”
She said she was pleased with the cakes, which also featured Winston Peters with a gold card and cigar and Judith Collins by a road to represent national infrastructure policy.

“I feel like I’ve improved,” Daniel said. “I don’t feel like I’m ready to publish a cookbook.”
Then he reconsidered. “Well, I’ll put it there. If anyone wants it, I will. “
Their new Jacinda Ardern cake, which came complete with a smaller baked QR code that required Ardern to “register” before cutting the main cake, was a definite improvement over the first.

“The new cake is more what I imagined the first time. That was the vision I had, but the real result was like one of those memes that you see on the Internet, like expectations versus reality. “
A highlight of the Seven sharp Collins told Daniel that if National came to power, he would get the comedian his own movie.

The moment Jacinda Ardern saw Daniel’s second try at a cake version of her.
Daniel would make her do it, she said.
“I felt like his team was looking around saying, ‘That’s not the policy of the National Party,’ and I said, ‘No, you’ve said it now, we have you on camera.’
Daniel wasn’t sure that she would undertake more cakes.
“It is a lot of work. If I get pastry sponsorship, maybe. “
