More of these intricate patterns can be seen on his website and on Instagram.  Some of his pieces can be purchased on his website.

Not so sure that we could cut into these incredible embroidered cakes by Leslie Vigil who labels herself as cake artist, flour child and buttercream enthusiast.  The Southern California-based artist is inspired by nature and has a deep passion for baking.  On an article in Better Homes and Gardens she says this about her inspiration:

“Inspiration for the kind of cake art I create comes from my love and fascination of nature. I have found so much peace walking in a botanical garden or growing my own cacti and succulents in my own garden. I try to take that feeling and transfer it over to my cake art. Oftentimes during a piping session, I slip into a moment of zen. When I create botanicals out of buttercream, I always have the real ones in mind: how they grow, how they form, how perfectly imperfect they really are.”

More of her amazing creations can be viewed on her website and on Instagram.
