It's not the real Maggie Smith, it's the Dowager Countess Cake

It took cake and chocolate artist Karen Portaleo 18 hours to create this custom made Dowager Countess cake for Georgia Public Broadcasting's (GPB) season five premiere party for Downton Abbey. It is made with vanilla cake and buttercream, with an earl grey tea soak.
