In case that didn’t work out, she had a back-up plan: another entry consisting of a cake version of Tyrion Lannister from _Game of Thrones_. Clarke, who taught herself to bake a couple of years ago by watching YouTube tutorials, has became an expert quickly— she’s also made roughly human-sized cakes of Miley Cyrus and Johnny Depp. “At the time I was watching _Pirates of the Caribbean_,” [she told the BBC](http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-24852681) back in 2013\. “I was watching Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, and I thought he would make the perfect cake.” After using up [150 eggs, 22 pounds of butter and 132 pounds of icing](http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-29943994) to make Jennifer Lawrence, it looks like she’s got enough cake to last her until _Mockingjay — Part 1_ hits theaters. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3574256/jennifer-lawrence-katniss-cake/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3574256/jennifer-lawrence-katniss-cake/"},"headline":"Who Wants a Piece of This Life-Sized Jennifer Lawrence Cake?","datePublished":"2014-11-08T21:42:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:28.055Z","description":"There's also one of Tyrion Lannister from 'Game of Thrones'","url":"https://time.com/3574256/jennifer-lawrence-katniss-cake/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food","game of thrones","celebrities","Jennifer Lawrence","The Hunger Games","cake","Mockingjay","food and drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3574256/jennifer-lawrence-katniss-cake/","name":"Who Wants a Piece of This Life-Sized Jennifer Lawrence Cake?"}}]}] ```
