Cakes So Real-Looking, You Might Hesitate Taking a Bite
Hyper-realistic cakes are all the rage
The internet has had a bit of a meltdown recently over videos and photos of cakes made to look like everyday items. They're so realistic that they almost bend reality when they're being cut into and the items are revealed as cake and icing.
After seeing these videos, we needed more, more, more, so we reached out to Natalie Sideserf, owner and resident artist at Sideserf Cake Studio in Austin, Texas. She's one of the amazing cake artists creating this gorgeous, edible artwork. She not only told us about how she got her start, she hooked us up with photos of some of her jaw-dropping work.
Check them out!
1. Cow skull cake
This is the first cake Sideserf took a stab at for a friend's birthday party. Little did she know this would be the first step in her delicious cake-making journey.
2. Willie Nelson bust cake
This is the bust cake that garnered Sideserf her first online accolades. Her brother submitted the cake to Reddit and it ended up on the front page of the site.
3. Mike Ehrmantraut cake
Sideserf had the opportunity to make this cake for Johnathan Banks, the actor who plays Mike Ehrmantraut on both AMC's Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
She had a fangirl moment when Banks shouted out the cake on the late-night talk show Conan, thanking her for making it for him.
4. Life-size Yoda cake
Is that... Yoda? Not quite, but it sure looks a lot like him. Sideserf had the chance to team up with bakers on Food Network's Buddy Vs. Duff to make this hyper-realistic cake as a member of team Duff.
5. Peach cake
When Sideserf was studying art at The Ohio State University she had to draw peaches in her sketching work. It looks like a real peach on the outside, but yeah, it's really cake.
