TikTok and Instagram’s Coolest Bakers Are All Making Dome Cakes Now | Eater

"Cakes resemble whimsical, dreamlike landscapes—flowers jut like Truffula trees and halved fruit glow like orbs—created by an artist who has been working under this name since 2020. A signature is the domed design, born from a request for an extremely creamy cake and kept for its soft, rounded feel; domes are finished in buttercream or mirror glaze and described as fairy hills, violet bonbon islands, and creamy mountains. The aesthetic blends organic, nature-forward touches (evergreen sprigs, pristine fruit) with playful, imaginative scenes meant to evoke a place you think you’ve seen in a dream." - Bettina Makalintal
