Sunday Sweets: Modern, Funky, Cool!
October 8, 2017 Traditional cakes are awesome, sure, but sometimes you want a crisp, modern twist:

...like this!
Check out that 3D grid pattern. Stunning!
Another clever design:

Those paper-like bubbles add just the right amount of interest - no color needed!
But for those who want ALL the colors, I've got something for you, too:
;)
Graphic, geometric, and totally groovy.
(Look closely; there are patterns embossed in the pixels!)
This pinwheel cascade is the stuff chevron-covered dreams are made of:

Ahhhh.
And here's a new-to-me technique that I just love:

Ruffly swirl goodness!
But perhaps you prefer something a bit more awesomely angular. Even, dare I say, spectacularly spiky?

It's modern art come to life - and ready to be plated.
Speaking of art, here's one that looks like an edible, 3D oil painting:

Plus: Poppies! My favorite!
These asymmetrical petals remind me of Old Hollywood glamour:

Can't you just see this as a satin dress from the 1920s?
(And notice that oh-so-subtle peach ombre coloring. Beautiful.)
Color, whimsy, and more impressive patterns:

Love how most of the color is blowing off the cake - and how it takes an extra moment to see all the white-on-white designs.
And finally, some superb swoopiness with just the right balance of modern and traditional:

That pink ruffle bit is blowing my mind. Love how it bridges that bold, modern cube pattern with the delicate flowers! SO GOOD.
Hope you guys have a Sweet Sunday!

Omg the artistry behind these cakes is amazing.
The spiky one looks like origami to me. A-MAZ-ING!!
Third cake down: I hope they take the pretty pixelated prism cake off the plate before the precarious spindly stem gives out. *POOF!*
=^~.~^=
My friend's wedding recently had a similar sort of cake. White backgrounds, grey hexagons that got closer together as you went down the tier, and a randomly placed orange hexagon every so often. Filling were chocolate fudge brownie, sticky toffee and Victoria sponge.
Such an array of amazing and splendid examples of the art!
(And, sadly, my mind can envision utterly 'orrible failures inspired by the perfection: thanks, Jen.)
hard to pick a fav among these... though the last one is AMAZING!!!! my goodness, it's hard to believe these are CAKES!!
...I want that spiky cake. I want it very much. :D
That pixelated rainbow one would make a minecraft fans heart leap, but gods I can just imagine a wreckerator getting their hands on that idea and totally mangling it
Cakes like that really don't impress me. You pay $$$$'s to get that sort of cake and for what? So it can be eaten and destroyed. What are you going to do with it? Freeze it for eternity?
