Painted Cakes

The details on these cakes makes them works of art. Literally.

WHAT’S OLD IS NEW AGAIN

It’s no wonder Patti Paige, the baker behind Baked Ideas, has a masters degree in painting. This cake is modern in shape, has clean lines and it’s old world in the ornate toile designed cookies that embellish it.
Baked Ideas, 450 Broadway near Grand Street, (212) 925-9097.

NOT YOUR MOMMA’S CAKE

Sugar Couture Cakes created this sweet treat that looks just like your favorite china pattern. The three round tiers are different heights, which keeps a cake with a traditional pattern very contemporary. Sugar Couture Cakes, 386 Graham Avenue near Skillman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (718) 349-1440.

SPRINGTIME NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

How gorgeous is this hand painted cake with 3D peonies and sugar butterflies from Butterfly Bakeshop? This just shows you can have your beautiful, multi-dimensional cake and eat it too! Butterfly Bakeshop, 133 East 39th Street, near Lexington Avenue, 2nd Floor, (212) 686 – 2253.

SPREAD THE LOVE

This romantically modern wedding cake looks like it’s spray painted and we just love the top and bottom tiers that allow us to see the white under the silver coating. The cake topper is another sweet touch My Daughter’s Cakes, 120 B West Shore Avenue, Dumont, NJ, (201) 927-4293.

WATER(COLORS) WATER EVERYWHERE

Sure many cakes look like artwork but this Creative Cakes by Donna confection was truly inspired by watercolors for a couple getting married at the Mystic Aquarium. Creative Cakes by Donna, 1565 Saybrook Road, Haddam, CT, (860) 345-8847
