Cake artists are constantly coming up with new ways to put a twist on our favorite desserts, by decorating them in ways we’ve never seen before. Siân-Amy Pettit is one of the masters of innovation in the cake art world, and her beaded cakes are a sight to behold.
A self-taught baker from Columbus, Ohio, she started her culinary adventure by trying to recreate another viral food trend—shag carpet cakes.
Ultimately, she didn’t find this piping technique intriguing enough. She later decided to switch things up by creating more intricate designs.
That’s how she came up with her incredibly detailed beaded cakes. It soon became clear that she had found her calling, because her dotting work is truly impressive.
She’s so committed to making her cakes picture-perfect that some of them look like they’ve been formed from hundreds—or even thousands—of tiny beads.
Pettit’s choice of fun and interesting patterns is another thing that makes her cakes so incredible. From nature-inspired motifs, such as birds and flowers, to festive and holiday-inspired patterns, this cake artist is constantly leaving us in awe. Her followers can certainly attest to that, as they patiently await her next masterpiece.
