We had so much fun compiling our wackiest wedding cake roundup that we just had to create another post dedicated to all the awesome cake art out there. This time, it’s all about the hyper-realistic cake. You know, like the hamburger cake that actually looks like a McDonald’s hamburger? These 16 cakes look like they could be something else entirely, but don’t worry; there’s still tons of sweet stuff inside. Get ready to be wowed.
Nikon Camera
This realistic cake is certainly photo-ready, wouldn’t you say? And the red velvet inside looks just as good as the perfectly sculpted outside. (via Fancy)
Asparagus Cake
We’ve just found our favorite bunch of asparagus. When you cut into it, there’s chocolate cake and thick layers of rich buttercream inside. (via Cheezburger)
Giraffe
We never knew we wanted a giraffe cake, but now we do. This awesomely shaded giraffe head even has neck wrinkles. (via Cake Central)
Cactus Cupcakes
You know we’re all about these succulent-inspired treats. The gravel-y cupcake topping was the perfect touch. (via Geekologie)
Sandwich
The tallest sandwich we’ve ever seen, complete with ruffled potato chips, is actually a cake. We’re not mad at it. (via Beautiful Life)
Bag of Bagels
We spy a salt bagel, a rye bagel and… is that a poppy seed one? But don’t break out the schmear just yet, because that’s a cake! (via Charm City Cakes West)
Jupiter
The marbled effect of this cake is spectacular, and the colorful sphere layers are just out of this world. (Pun intended.) (via The Kitchn)
<em>Up</em> House
We can’t even begin to express how happy we are that someone captured the pure magic of the Up house in cake form. Take us with you, Mr. Frederickson! (via Better Homes & Gardens)
Chocolate Kiss Cupcakes
Well, we are officially craving chocolate Kisses now, but we guess cake will do. (via The Tomkat Studio)
Dropped Ice Cream
We’re glad this ice cream was dropped right on top of a cake. Oh wait, it’s part of the cake. (via Buen Finde)
Banana Split
Scotts must be one pretty awesome dude to score a cake like this. It’s all about the details, always. (via Beautiful Life)
Rose Cupcakes
These are the most perfect frosting roses we have ever seen. (via Colin Cowie Weddings)
