If you’ve immersed yourself in the world of baking during #quarantine, then you’ve most likely entered a wild rabbit hole of cake design.
And if you haven’t and you’re just joining us, take a look at these wildly intricate island cakes that are out of this world.
While this may look like some sort of tabletop decor piece, it’s actually a completely edible cake.

There’s a community of cake designers and artists out there on The ‘Gram that are creating these incredible cakes.
Instagrammer @paladarte from El Salvador is one of them.

The professional baker uses an expert combination of cake batter, icing, gelatin, and custom edible garnishes to achieve various textures and details of a dream private island.
There are so many more creative island cakes out there that have their own unique qualities.

Instagrammer @svetlana.sweetmagic_osnk has also dipped her toes into the island cake life.
In her version, a gelatin ocean scene completely covers the cake.

When it’s ready to be eaten, it is cut open to reveal a decadent layered cake.
The detail is beyond incredible.
Instagrammer @halida_cake didn’t have to go this hard with the detail, but she did and we appreciate it.
Cutting into something like this should be illegal.
Is there such a thing as a museum for cake art?
These cakes are beyond mesmerizing.

They have proven once again that bakers are actually wizards.
