Sunday Sweets Goes To A New Dimension!
November 4, 2018 One of my favorite things about cake art is how it can bridge the gap between 2D and 3D. I absolutely love it when bakers fool me, like this:

[By Moli Cakes in Slovakia]
Check it out: the rose stem is only painted on the bottom, but transitions to a real one on top! In fact, all the flowers here are 3D.
I can't get enough of this technique; adding in little sculpted touches like that gives a traditional cake so much more dimension! Look how this dress flows down the tiers, and how the bouquet stands out:

Or how about this steamy stunner:

[By Cakes By Julie]
I could swear that smoke is moving! And the flattened perspective on the train? AMAZEBALLS.
Even a thickened "paint" look can trick the eye:

Makes you want to reach out and touch it, right? Right before shoving your whole face in? :D
Here's a clever use of sugar cookies:

[By Hunny Danny Cake in Moscow]
I love cookie decorations like this! It's almost like a layered paper cutting, or an edible scrapbook page.
Another example:

Check out that sword balancing on the edge. So good.
A big bunch of bubblegum balloons:

And check out how the sculpted pumpkins on this middle tier add to the illusion, so you just want to fall into that big blue sky:
;)
[By Viva La Buttercream in California]
Let's also stop to appreciate the fact that that is ALL BUTTERCREAM, gang. Whaaaaaat.
This beauty almost broke my brain:
;)
[By Elena Gnut Cake in Russia]
How clever is that painting, so you feel like you're looking IN to the cake? And that sculpted finial is the perfect cherry on top.
And finally, for the best day ever, check out this sweet Rapunzel:
;)
[By My Cake - Natalia Casaballe in Argentina]
That braid is the stuff that cakey dreams are made of!
Hope you guys enjoyed! Happy Sunday!

OMG so dreamy :D :D
Wow. Just wow. Rapunzel is amazing but my favorite is the little blonde girl holding the pink and white balloons.
HOW did they make that smoke?
Is the next-to-last cake referencing “Beauty And The Beast”? ‘Cause that’s immediately what I thought of.
And that first sunflower cake (fourth down) makes me think of a Van Gogh painting. Can’t you just see it with an Amy Pond somewhere?
The smoke is most likely a printed image, maybe from here.
I’m in love with that second cake. Just beautiful!
Gorgeous as always. <sigh>
Wow, trompe-l'œil the cake edition.
Magnificent!
Did you notice that tiny engineer in the train cake?? I wonder if that is Jaxon? All these cakes are Amazing!!! I'd eat them!!
I loved the second cake! It is so elegant, and it is incredible that the baker was able to make the dress pop out of the cake slowly. It is also impressive that they were able to continue drawing of the girl when the tiers change. I love the ribbon on the back of the dress; it was a unique detail.
