Bakers Are Topping Each Other By Creating Cakes That Look Like Paradise Islands (30 Pics)
Some cakes are too cool to eat. And these heavenly delights definitely fall into that category. Bakers from all over the world have been sharing photos of their cakes that look like paradise islands and they're so gorgeous, we just had to make a post about them.
Whether you're craving colorful corals or sandy beaches, forget that holiday package you're saving up for. These cakes have everything you'd expect from a $10K trip for a fraction of the price, and you can eat them too!

That looks like a model! Stunning! Must taste good, but too good to eat! 🍰

A tiny bit of coral reef with moss on it jutting above the water's surface does not really qualify as an island. Or are those sea monsters?
One of the artists we featured on the list is Jessica. She runs a custom dessert business in El Salvador, called Paladarte, and has been baking for a living for 7 years now. "I went to a culinary school but I've learned a lot online too," Jessica told Bored Panda.
The idea to make a tasty paradise island cake came to her last year when she saw a mermaid cake with jelly-water. "I loved it and saved it in my 'Future projects' folder (every cake artists has one) but couldn't find the time to actually experiment and make one before the quarantine," Jessica said, adding that making an edible getaway island was her way of escaping the struggles we're all currently facing.

*dessert. Your pun isn't funny when you use the wrong word.

Here's a great recipe in Spanish, but you can understand just by watching. Check out the video at 12:40 - Incredible! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOKsVGTlGFw
"When baking this cake, the key thing was finding the right consistency for the jelly (I live in a super hot country) without sacrificing the flavor. A cake has to not only look good but taste as well."
Jessica added that she has had a blast making this getaway cake, and has even uploaded video tutorials on the entire process. So if you want to try and create your own little edible paradise island, head over to her YouTube channel and check out how she does it!

normally they are swimming pools, fill up during high tide and then "warm" up and are used during low tide. They are low maintenance and "cheap".

That's what I was thinking. I've seen a lot of resin sculptures/miniatures that look like these "cakes"...

I mean, the artwork is awesome, but eating all that jello doesn't seem very appealing to me 🤔
b l a n c 5 years ago
true, but i'm sure it's made of more than just jello, plus there's a good amount of cake in it too ♥

I have never seen anything like this before. I have watched the TV shows about cakes and I thought that scene was from just the fondant. I have no clue how they achieve the scenes under the surface. I am blown away by this.
Catherine Todd 5 years ago (edited)
Nanz, I'm "blown away" by this too. How could you bring yourself to eat this cake, or if you baked it, allow someone to eat it? Unless you figure "I'll just make another." LOL INCREDIBLE!

My favorite, as I can actually SEE the cake in this picture! Never would have believed it if I didn't see this cut piece with very own eyes. Incredible!
Catherine Todd 5 years ago

It is Russian, it says "Happy birthday, love Mashka." (Mashka is diminutive for Masha, which in English is "Maria.")
Catherine Todd 5 years ago (edited)
Wow! This one is one of the most beautiful ones here, love the perfect pale color blue. And it's not frightening like some of the others where you know you are shipwrecked and will be eaten soon by the giant Kraken! This is a "dessert island" I would love to spend some time at! Bravo!

"Magic Jelly Cake - Ocean Cake - Island Cake - Pastel tendencia 2020!" This is one of the best videos I've seen with so many detailed instructions, you don't even have to speak Spanish. A very interesting part of this video for the cake decoration and after making the mold starts at 12:40. Gracias! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOKsVGTlGFw

How could we be sure you could eat this? We don't have proof you have a mouth or anything.

Is that a mirror glaze instead of gelatin? This is not only brilliant but I can imagine it to be delicious as well!

Gorgeous cakes. Not something I would eat considering at least half of the “cake” is actually jelly.
Nathan Jones 5 years ago
Looks awesome, but also looks like the taste is awful. It's Jell-O, not cake.
Michelle 5 years ago
I'm usually just happy if my cakes are edible! Lol This is cake (and gelatin) decorating mastery level 5000. Lol. It wouldn't be my first choice to eat as I'm personally not a big jell-o fan (not that it's bad, it's just not my fav), but the talent showcased here is awe inspiring. Wow!
