Emoji recipes: Yes, you can now EAT emojis

These edible emojis are going to make your day. Yes, you can now eat emojis and what's better yet, they come in cake form!

It's fair to say that emojis are absolutely everywhere. And now, you can even eat some of your favourite emoji characters in none other than cake form!

If you and your kids are fans of the beloved emoji and you find it hard to text a sentence without filling it with all sorts of weird and wonderful icons, you're going to love these fantastic cake recipes.

You can now make and eat emojis thanks to these brilliant new recipes from Jenni Powell's new cookbook Cakemoji, including a very cheeky threesome of monkeys, an epic robot cake and not forgetting one of our favourite ever emojis – the poop icon, in cupcake form!

We have a feeling you and the kids are going to have a lot of fun with these...

We love the robot emoji so much that we're already secretly planning an opportunity to make it! How amazing would this cake be for a special occasion like a birthday? Especially if it's a robot-themed bash – even better!

Emoji monkey cupcakes

Yes, you can now make these ridiculously cheeky monkeys at home – aren't they just adorable? Each monkey is popped on top of a delicious stack of mini chocolate cakes but you can pop your monkeys on just about anything you like. Yes, that includes directly into your mouth if you're that way inclined.

Each recipe is super simple to follow with a step-by-step picture guide. We'd recommend starting with the poop cupcakes first as they're so easy and ideal for beginners.

Like those? You'll love this lot too!
