Australia’s amazing cakes

I was first introduced to the amazing cakes coming out of Australia through Instagram. Thanks to the recent revamp of the Explorer (i.e. Stalker) page, I was inundated with photos of people’s kids, their meals and, most importantly, their desserts. Photos of colorful and eccentric cakes kept catching my eye and they all seemed to be coming from bakers and decorators in the same country: Australia!

They are works of art. Each one unique, over-the-top and amazingly gorgeous. They use bright colors, cookies, candies, flowers, fruits and chocolates to decorate not just the tops but all around. So many layers and elements of gorgeous goodness, I wouldn’t even want to eat them! Here are some of my favorites so far…

Unbirthday

Incredible use of colors, candies and fresh flowers. Their cakes are perfectly over-the-top and eye-catching.

Katherine Sabbath

Possibly her most famous cake, the melting ice cream cone cake, has been emulated by many. All of her cakes are whimsical in nature and brightly colored. She is the master of the dripping ganache and unicorn-like chocolate shards.

Cliff’s cakes are designed on paper and reflect his background in architecture. They are works of art with their chocolate sculptures and beautifully arranged decorations.
