Baker makes 3D cake of Oasis' debut album ahead of Croke Park shows
A Dublin baker has superbly recreated the Definitely Maybe Oasis cover by making the iconic album into a cake.
If you've somehow managed to miss the news over the last week, Oasis are finally bringing their reunion tour to Dublin on Saturday and Sunday, with Oasis mania taking over the capital and country at large.
With bucket hats being sold at a massive rate and people who weren't so lucky taking to every social media avenue to grab tickets, one woman has taken the fandom to a brilliant new level: recreating the iconic cover from Oasis' debut Definitely Maybe out of cake. View this post on Instagram

The chocolate biscuit cake recreates the album perfectly, including Liam lying on the ground while the rest of the lads watch TV and noodle on the guitar.
The Perfectionist Confectionist Niamh Geraghty, who made the cake, revealed that it took more than a day of combined labour to get the cake together, explaining: 'It took [more than] 30 hours to create. The brief is 'Please, can you turn this album into a 3D cake?' [and] I did.'
While 30 hours for something as intricate as an album cake may seem incredibly stressful and tedious, it was quite the contrary for Niamh, who told Today FM: 'I loved every minute of it.'

The album shot the band to superstardom in 1994, becoming the fastest selling debut album in UK history and featuring some of the band's best songs including Supersonic, Live Forever and Married With Children (one can only assume the fact that the gigs are in a stadium is the reason for it being left off the setlist, but still sorely missed).
As for the info those who were lucky enough to get tickets will need, the official Oasis Instagram have confirmed that the gates to Croker will open at 5pm, with opening act Cast kicking off proceedings at 6pm.

From there, the shows are expected to wrap up at around 10.15pm.
As for how the weather is looking, Met Éireann have given good news to the 160,000 people who are mad fer it this weekend.
