Talented dessert artists create cake models based on iconic paintings from art history, colorful koi ponds and even hand-embroidered designs. Now the bakery is turning delicious cakes into incredible island paradise. These edible masterpieces feature rippling waves, sandy beaches, tropical plants and even fish.
Dolnyk Bakery, based in Ukraine, is one of the pastry shops leading this trend. Founder Kristina Dolnyk hand-carves each cake to create a variety of aquatic environments. Some cakes depict the open ocean filled with sailboats, but others resemble rocky shores with marine life roaming beneath the surface. Dolphins are trapped in the jelly water along with various corals and shells.
Paladarte in El Salvador is another bakery that creates ocean cake artwork. Owner Jessica often shares cross-section photos of her cakes so viewers can see the different layers involved in making them. Often, islands and beaches are made of cake and icing, while the water is the jelly. She says: "When baking a cake, the key is to find the right consistency for the jelly without sacrificing taste. The cake not only has to look good, but it has to taste good."
