It’s hard to say no to cake. But you might to some of these, since they’re so magnificently decorated, it feels wrong to slice into them! Cake decorating is an intricate art that takes years of practice, and immense talent. These pieces of art will shame your domestic skills. While we still wouldn’t say no to some Betty Crocker cake out-of-the-box, such cakes are in a whole different category that we want to devour as soon as we can.
If elephants are your thing (they should be, they’re good luck!), then this cake will totally be up your alley. A lusciously designed cake, precariously teetering on an elephant cake? This beauty would be difficult to recreate.
The creator of this cake is a baking and pastry teacher at a culinary school. So why pile together a cornucopia of vegetables? She didn’t, she’s just a cake design sorceress. Every fruit and veggie here is made out of cake. Pull us off some of that corn, we’re ready to get dirty.
This leaning tower of boulders cake gives us a little anxiety, but we also want to just run off with a couple of those spheres and never come back. It will always be a mystery how this beauty was delivered. Or cut, for that matter…

Addicted to soft drinks? These soda cakes will make your mouth water – but don’t expect to untwist that lid for a carbonated treat – nope, they are cakes locked in a shell of soda bottle shaped chocolate, and some startlingly realistic Sprite, Coke, and Fanta bottles. The layers inside made us fall in love. We’d eat one of those head-on, like a burrito.
This red velvet magnificence looks good enough to take pictures with! From the black finish to the little button details, the vibrant deliciousness hiding inside certainly takes us by surprise.
