  1. i think after a fashion, you surpass the realm of cakes and venture into the territory of vaguely edible sculptures. theres no way most of that are actually made of cake or at least most of it isnt.

  2. Rusians must really admire and respect the United States! That is very nice. I don’t think I have ever seen cakes with American themes like Pizza Hut, Pepsi, McDonald’s, and studly looking guys on US monetary instruments. USA is STRONG!

  3. Does anyone else see anything odd about a very sugary looking cake depicting a set of nice healthy teeth?

    My word verification was KGB…

  4. Now this takes the cake!

    Okay, I had to say that. No one else did after 30 + posts.

    P.S. for those of you who speak English as a second language, that is a coloquial expression.

  5. I can’t imagine who would pay for something so pointless. I’m sure they don’t taste good at all. And who would want a cake shaped like Pepsi cans or a Pizza Hut? Very strange…

  6. People,who do not speak Russian,will not know what you are talking about.
    Or is it better to keep it as a secret what is written there?

  7. As a representative of the United States of America and a concerned citizen of the planet Earth, I must categorically state that such sweets (pastry-like treats) can only represent what has become a society more decadent than our own. When forsted teeth stand for dental erudition and a tree laden ‘gateau’ stands for ‘home, how can we take life seriously or, better yet, have our cake and eat it too.

  8. Icing, fondant, and a printer that works with rice-paper and vegetable ink. Add a little patience, and some practice.

    They are all very clever, and I admire the skill and time involved.

    But knowing how it’s done takes a little of the novelty off.

    • and so, like the big kids on Christmas Eve, you decided to spoil the fun for the innocents by pointing out that there isn’t a Santa Claus. How sweet of you.

  9. Nice reflections on what Russian life became about! All essential elements of the Russian universe from re-mapping SPb to Russified American icons. Excellent social commentary!

    I’ve seen amazing cakes on the net before – but THESE?
    How can ANYONE actually bare to eat these?
    This is ART!
    I wonder, how many hours goes into the “steel bridge”, for example… (#47) – or “the kitchen” (#39).
    Fantastic… I’m stunned.
    I’ll have to look at them all again!

  22. Thank you my dear fellow Nigerian how nice the world will be with peace. It is amazing how cake matter has caused so much controversy. I also read through all the comments and was very displeased at so many of them. Any way let us continue to play our part by sending out the peace message.

  23. I, too, have dabbled in the attempt at cake decorating – and let me tell you, the artistry in these cakes blew me away! They are gorgeous. Too bad they are edible – they should be in a museum to be studied as works of art. I’ll never know how they did some of those beauties.

  28. As a former student of the pastry arts all of these I can tell you took time and alot of effort as cake is a tricky medium. All I can say is A-mazing 🙂 Great work, hope to see more from you!

  29. These cakes are products of very patient and talented people. They rival Duff Goldman and his artists at Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, MD. I watch their show on The Food Network and enjoy seeing these kinds of creations come to be. Yes, the majority are created from edible cake, the rest is fondant, ganache, and buttercream frosting with some extra pieces as needed. (I believe the bridge here has plastic pieces, but come on, be realistic, though I’m sure if challenged, some form of melted chocolate might be usuable!)I’ve never had one of Charm City cakes as I live in Chicago but these just put regular cakes to shame.

  30. Brilliant!!! What an Artist!!! Wish you were in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, instead of so far away and I’d have you make one of your special cakes! Wish there was a way to have more people know about your talent!

  34. I have to tell you one and only truth, the cake you see is real and it will taste very good. I live in UK and to be honest I have never ate anything worse then english birthday cake. It is made of plain sugar and although it could look really pretty. I admire Russian cakes, because the made with love and not only from sugar!

  38. I believe that they are all used gum paste, fondant and almond paste, molded free and you must be an artistic in art. I do make cakes and design but not elaborate deco like you. If I have the change to learn from you, I would… Good work, I’m impressed…

  40. Sim, essas imagens são de bolos!!! É um fabuloso trabalho realizado por alguém de nome Zhanna de St. Petersburg (não consegui levantar seu o site oficial). Tudo o que é usado na decoração dos bolos é comestível. Dariam ótimos e deliciosos presentes, não é verdade??
