This Amazing Terrarium Cake Makes Us Realize That We Spend a Whole Lot of Time Doing Nothing
It's unbelievably realistic.
The weekend is here, so it's time to relax, cut loose, and take a moment to enjoy the deliciousness of the world around us. We seem to be feeling a lot of pink this week—it must be the warm weather/arrival of spring, finally—but of course, we couldn't skip out on fry pizza and crispy chicken burgers and…
1. Terrarium Cake
Yes, this is a cake. Covered in very carefully detailed flowers and succulents sculpted out of buttercream frosting. We wouldn't even dare to slice into this thing. Home baker/pastry chef Iven Kawi whips up all kinds of eye-catching, mind-boggling treats (we love the cupcakes, too).
2. French Fry Pizza
We're usually skeptical about weird food mashups, but this one is looking really, really good to us. We love the artful squiggles of sauce and ketchup across the top. Can they deliver?
3. White Chocolate Bark
We've never seen a chocolate bark as pretty as this one. Just look at all the goodies—chocolate pearls, flower petals, and OMG there are mini raspberry macarons on top?? Amazing.
4. Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Burger
We can't find anything wrong with this sandwich. Crisp, crunchy chicken; shaved cabbage and lettuce for freshness; some kind of thick, gooey sauce; and a properly soft, squishy bun to hold it all together. Done.
5. Raspberry Matcha Layer Cake
Spring is finally here, and we're celebrating (virtually) with this delightfully gorgeous cake. Triple layers are always a good idea, and we love the stripe of green frosting artfully blended in to set off the cherry-blossom pink.
6. Strawberry Pastries
Clearly, we're in a pink mood today. The artful sloppy pouring of the glaze, strawberries oozing out of the pastry, and crushed nuts scattered all over just makes us want to reach in, grab one, and embrace the flaky, fruity messiness.
7. Mille Crepe Boba Drinks
We know these are ridiculous. We're aware that they were created purely for Instagrammability. We're fully cognizant of the fact that we're suckers for including them in this roundup. But…but…we can't help it. We LOVE mille crepe cakes (layers of whisper-thin crepes sandwiched with a light custard) and we LOVE boba drinks. Stick a slice of cake on our bubble tea, and we're in heaven.
