It’s sad to think that the work behind these confectionary works of art will eventually be destroyed and eaten. I was never a big fan of “cake decorating” and can’t say I ever saw a cake that just knocked my socks off – until now. This creation as well as other stunning edible works of art were created by artist Karen Portaleo from Atlanta Georgia. Karen had experience in clay sculpturing and she took her talent to a new level with creative cake decorations where she currently works. Once you reach the bakery site, visit this page and click on a link on the right side (or just click here to go right to Flickr)– and visit the Cake Gallery – and see these amazing sweet sculptures. It’s not just the shape of the cake, it’s the color and shading that is used to accent the shape. Karen doesn’t own the shop but is listed as their “sugar artist”.

That cake is amazing! Its a shame to eat it (that and I wouldnt want to be dragged down into the depths by it). What a lovely cake!
I agree with your Art Too Good to Eat, excellent post.
Greetings from Florida! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break. I love the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, great site!
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a very good job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer. Exceptional Blog!
