They did surgery on a cake!
On Tuesday, the cast and crew of NBC’s Chicago Med commemorated the filming of their 100th episode at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios with an extremely creepy, incredibly realistic cake in the shape of a body on an operating table. The enormous celebratory dessert was made to resemble no one in particular and was wheeled in on a gurney.
“I didn’t want to offend anyone, so it’s just a generic old man,” explained Dina Cimarusti, who usually does special effects for the medical drama and started making the cake on Friday. She told the Chicago Tribune that she used Rice Krispies Treats, sheets of red velvet cake, and buttercream frosting to form the body.

In close-up photos of the cake, you can see just how realistic it looks. The unidentified man has bushy eyebrows, sunspots on his face, a double chin, wrinkles on his neck, and nipples. He’s also wearing a blue button-down shirt with a collar, which is folded at the elbows and has creases!
