baking

A cake is the ultimate celebratory accessory. Whether it's a birthday cake, a wedding cake, or a graduation cake, every occasion worth celebrating is made better when there's a show-stopping cake to cut. And now, add to that list, divorce cakes. Because with 50% of marriages ending in divorce, a divorce cake is simply the follow-up cake for your wedding cakes. Because leaving a marriage that isn't right is something worth celebrating, and nothing says "Bye Felicia" better than an utterly fabulous divorce cake. Here are some of the more creative ones we've seen!

Whoever says that food isn't art, have never seen these insane geometric pies, created by self-taught baker Lauren Ko. Her famous colorful pies each have their own unique pattern, which are so accurately intricate, they look like they're made of plastic. Lauren has just brought out her first cookbook called Pieometry, which shows you how to recreate your own pie masterpieces. I know what I'll be serving for the holiday season this year!

Cake making is undoubtedly an art, and not something everyone should attempt. Especially if it involves any intricate design or detail. A Twitter account called "Cakes With Threatening Auras" contains cakes that look like they've either been made by a three-year-old or been taken from a horror movie. Either way, they're awful and deserve to be publically shamed. Take a look at this selection, and you'll see what I mean!

If you've been following us for a while, you know that I love some good cake art. We've had beaded cakes, dreamy buttercream creations, and even someone who puts Drake lyrics on the top of her cakes. Because why not? Our latest cake feature will have you dreaming of exotic vacations and faraway destinations because these cakes look like real paradise islands. Yes, the tropical blues and the dreamy greens will make you want to dive straight into these cakes. Literally!

Baking is an art form that few people are blessed with. If you're lucky, you can make cakes for your career, because what else is better than being surrounded by cake all day? But if you can't, then amateur baking is the next best thing and these amateur bakers are proving that they have just as much talent as the professionals. 

Kim Delia is a florist from Bern, Switzerland, who loves to bake in her spare time. Her cake designs are incredible, but the crème de la crème of her work is her intricately beautiful macarons which she has turned into an art. From creating little animals, floral designs, or even gold-edged brush strokes, each macaron is a stunning beauty in itself. Check out some of her designs below. 

Everyone loves cake (right?). Not everyone loves Drake (for some reason). But what happens when you're a genius and combine the two — surely there's nothing NOT to love! That's exactly what @joythebaker did and her Instagram account Drake on a Cake is full of her beautifully decorated cakes each with a Drake lyric on top. The self-taught professional baker, food photographer and cookbook author combined two of her favorite things and all I can say is, I'm grateful for it. Check out some of her incredible creations below and when you're done, here are some more decadent delights. 

Buttercream Bakery in Sydney, Australia is co-owned by Kat Logan. She creates the most beautifully intricate, mesmerizing and unique cakes by doing something that not many other (if any) cake artists do; she paints with buttercream. Not only do her designs look too good to eat, but they look like they should be up in a museum. Take a look at some of her beautiful creations below
