How Hyper-Realistic Cakes Are Sculpted and Decorated at Cake Power — How To Make It

As a former line cook, I have grown accustomed to quick-fire results and immediate satisfaction. Making hyper-realistic cakes is quite the opposite! The proposed cake is first drafted out on a drawing board then made into stencils from every angle. This is before the initial cake construction and covering; all of these steps priming the cake to transform into art. A background in art, drawing, sculpting and of course, pastry seem to come in handy for this task-none of which I have much experience in. As I’m guided through the process by Kate Sullivan of Cake Power, my appreciation for the skills required to pull this off increase dramatically. — Katie Pickens Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country.
