The Art of Cake Decoration

2006_1_cake1.jpg

We're always promoting the native photographers and painters of New York City-- but we've been remiss in not giving enough attention to another indigenous art form: cake decoration. Check out this set of cakes decorated by Ameliaaah on Flickr-- our favorites include the Spycake, the TaurusCake, and the FishCake. Her cakes make Fudgie the Whale look like a pile of poo!

Our third birthday is coming up on February 8th-- maybe we should commission a limited edition Gothamist cake-- with pandas, a skyline, a bust of Jerry Orbach!

Thanks for this post! I am also recently enamored with the art of cake decorating! Check out the beautiful 'Leo' Cake my friend surprised me with this past August: (On the left)

He work is as equally beautiful as the flickr set u linked to, but photo quality not as good. :(

I'd swear that cake was decorated by Henry Darger, if he wasn't dead.
