For most cake makers these days, baking a cake for a traditional wedding or engagement is a time to show off your creativity. Nigerian bakers are not smiling as they dish out one imagination-fulfilling cake after another. Some of these cakes shaped in the form of folded clothes, shoes, beads, fez caps etc. are so realistic that you are almost tempted to touch them, unfold them and wear them. So I went trawling on Instagram to get you some of the best cakes that would not only have you drooling with longing but leave your mouth agape with wonder – how do they do it?! Check out some of these crazy beautiful cakes from the Empress Galleria, Dripples Cakes and Helado Delicia. These are just a smattering of samples from just a few of Nigeria’s innovative bakers. There are more out there. So when it is time for your traditional wedding, don’t just settle for your run-off-the-mill couple on a cake, hand bag cakes – aim high! Think of a masterpiece that would not only make your guests green with envy but would have your kids wishing they were at your wedding when they see the wedding pictures. Check out these not-just-cakes these wonderful works of art below for inspiration. |
