Surreal 3D cakes experienced a huge boom in recent years, and Emilie Tosello is one of the people responsible for putting them on the map. She specializes in making some of the most impressive cakes that you’ll ever come across, often inspired by celebrities and movie and TV characters.

Tosello is based in Nice, France and she has over five years of experience as a cake designer under her belt. She created her first cake design for her daughter’s birthday in 2015 and had no idea this cake will mark a beginning of a long creative journey that turned her life upside down.

Tosello’s food art flourished during the Covid-19 lockdowns when she had more time on her hands to experiment with her designs. She went on to create cake designs inspired by many beloved Netflix shows, and her impressive and extravagant creations quickly went viral.
