I've been interested in cake decorating since I was kid, yet I've never learned how to do it. My cakes tend to be pretty plain, with only icing sugar dusted over them or some basic frosting slathered on. If I did have the skills, I'd love to make a Day of the Dead cake like this.
It's the work of Leslie Vigil, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize those aren't real flowers. I love the colours here, the embroidered look, and just the overall design. If I ever did make a cake anywhere near this beautiful, I don't think I could let anyone touch it, which kind of defeats the purpose, don't you think?
It's probably for the best I don't have cake decorating skills. Then again, did I mention that Leslie offers classes?

That is a work of art! I thought the flowers were real too...! Such skill. Like you my cakes are plain, only chocolate cake gets an indulgent chocolate butter icing on it. I am a bit too heavy handed for cakes really, I'm better at making bread! I love this Day of the Dead design though.
This cake designer is so talented. As beautiful as it is, though, I'd rather have fresh baked bread :)
