Let’s Admire the Top 5 Posts of Reddit’s r/CakeDecorating!

We are back for another round of Let’s Admire! This time, we are slicing into gorgeous, creative decorated cakes. As a big fan of The Great British Bake Off, I am especially excited for this one! I guess you could say I am deeply fondant of beautiful bakes. Without further ado, let’s get whisked away by Reddit talent from r/CakeDecorating:

Tried my hand at making a cartoon cake slice. For a first attempt it’s not too bad 🙂

Wow, this one is just mind-boggling! One of the top comments says: “My brain wants to see this as a forced perspective enamel pin rather than actual cake; you nailed the illusion”. I could not agree more! Here it is looking like a cartoon come to life in the fridge:

My take on the gelatin island cake. It is inspired by a little spot we used to go fishing at as kids. What a joy it was to make!

This is absolutely marvelous, I am honestly in awe. The top comment says it all: “Every time I look, I see another magical detail. The leaf that has fallen on his head, the worms wriggling out of the can, the contentment on his face moments before the big catch … This cake is a moment captured in time.” Take a look at the ripple effect:

I’ve learned so much from this sub! Cake I made for my mom’s birthday.

I am in love with the center of the sunflowers. The flavors sound delightful too: “6” pumpkin layer cake iced with cream cheese buttercream and filled with spiced chai buttercream. All Sugar and Sparrow recipes.” I am so glad it is summer but I would not turn down this slice of Fall!

[Self] my coworkers and I call this our “cartoon cake” it’s made to look like a stereotypical 90’s cartoon birthday cake

Please don’t laugh, this is my FIRST EVER attempt at decorating a cake. Son wanted a SpongeBob cake and was too broke to buy from a bakery. Did my best!

Unfortunately the original poster’s Reddit account was deleted, but this deserves a shout out for sure! It is exceptional especially for the baker’s first time and I am sure their son was delighted. “I’m ready! I’m ready! I’m ready!” to eat this cake!

BONUS: Didn’t place in the competition I entered, but still very proud of my design!!

I had to share this one because it is my favorite at the “Reddit bakery”! This is so ethereal and unique. I love the diverse bunch of sprinkles! Magical.
