I remember the days when a birthday cake was a couple of sponge cakes slapped together with some icing and sprinkles and wedding cakes were layers of fruit cake with marzipan and a simple bride and groom perched on top. How things have changed.
These cakes are true works of art and look almost too good to cut up and eat!
This following are from Mike's Amazing Cakes. This man's artistic ability is awe inspiring.
The next few are from Debbie Does Cakes
I'm not sure who made this Millennium Falcon Cake but all I can say is Wow!
The next couple are from Zhanna in St Petersburg.
These two are from Mark Joseph Cakes
This clever little geeky cake is from Small Things Iced
This two beautiful creations are from Pink Cake Box
And this life size Wall-E cake is from Botrolpolis
I don't know the makers of the last two but if you know, or if they are your creations please let me know. They're fabulous!
Now who says art is all paints and pencils?!

There's a reality show (Not sure what channel) that I watch occasionally called "Cake Wars". People are given certain subjects, and they have to make a cake representing that subject. its a competition, and some of the things they come up with are amazing.
These pics take the cake, though. Oops. That was punny.

I've never heard of that show but it sounds quite funny. the Iron Chef of cakes!
Hi Jason, isn't Wall-E amazing? And life sized so you could eat til you burst!! My inner nerd flipped out for the Millennium Falcon.
I forgot to add this one in as well. The bride and groom must be a laugh riot because this made me laugh out loud.

The Yoda one is also cool - I watched Wall E again this afternoon while wallowing in self induced post alcoholism syndrome

My wedding cake wasn't nearly as elaborate. Very simple, but I did insist on real fresh rose buds.

Every year I visit the Sydney Royal Easter Show and check out the cake on display there - some amazing pieces of engineering . . . .
As for me - well - the two sponges with strawberry or chocolate icing and hundreds and thousands (or sprinkles) and a bit of mock cream in the centre will do me just fine - and besides it tastes so much better with red cordial, party pies and sausage rolls.

But the main thing is what do they taste like. They might look brilliant, but I am sure my cakes taste heaps better. Not really, but I have to say something to cheer myself up.

Samaritan's got a point there - how do they taste? Im an amatuer baker and cook, and its all about balance in cooking. I feel taste must have been sacrificed in some way to create the form. The history of cakes, if you have old reciepe books, is all about the flavour. Form is set by the taste you are trying to create.

Hi Natalie, damn I'd love to see that show. I hate reality TV but the thought of crashing cakes sounds funny. I think your wedding cake is absolutely elegant and very beautiful!
Hello there MNG, would you believe I have never been to the Easter Show?! I don't think I could bear the crowds.
I'm with you on the cake (but with fresh cream) and it also goes nicely with fairy bread, the most scrumptious food in the world
Hi Samaritan, you made a cake with writing on it? I'm damned impressed. I can't bake to save myself. I'm sure your cakes taste WAY better than those above. I'm thinking most of what you see is Marzipan and to me that's right up there with beetroot and brussels sprouts as food that tastes like poison. Bleurgh!
Hi Kleo, I loved the first wedding cake too. There is something just so cute about it. I would never have picked the violin was a cake - it's extraordinary. But you're right, a cake is far more about taste than looks. Give me a cake made using a recipe handed down by someone's grandmother any old day. These are a feast for the eyes but cakes should be a feast for the tastebuds
