I have a serious fascination with “specialty cakes.” Cake artists don’t just bake. They sculpt, paint, configure, build…it’s a multifaceted adventure.
Take Mike’s Amazing Cakes for example. Pastry chef and owner Mike McCarey is an architect; a creator of the most awe inspiring “culinary realism” I’ve seen.
Yes, every image here is a cake!
Love his Mad Hatter Cake:
I couldn’t post some of my favorites because his images are in slide show format on the website and can’t be saved. Definitely check out the gallery.

Amazing realism, so much so that it presents a real problem- i wouldn’t be able to eat these, it would be like stepping all over a really great sandcastle.
Wow…I agree with Michael – I’d be in too much awe to actually eat one of these cakes. It’d be too much of a shame to have such a brilliant piece of artwork and just eat it.
