Sunday Sweets: Edible Ink

We always like our Sweets to make a lasting artistic impression, so here are some inspired by...lasting artistic impressions.

AKA, tattoos:

Sweet, colorful, graphic - what's not to love?
Those Koi fish are tat-too cute!


This one was inspired by tribal tattoo designs:


Stunning!

And I'm in LOVE with this tribal butterfly design:


Here's the side view:

I vow to make every cake in this shape from now on. Super cool.


This high-roller cashed in on old-school poker tattoos:

Cha-CHING!


And this little firecracker is exploding with cuteness:

No design means more to dear old Mom than this traditional favourite:

The detail on this hand-painted Ed Hardy wedding cake is amazing:

Handpainted, guys! Seriously!


Classic tattoo motifs also make for a sweet wedding cake:


And yet another wedding cake that really says "till death do us part..."

...and then some.


I like the wash of colors on this cascade design:



Of course, not all tattoos are in color. Still, who knew a monochromatic design could look this sweet on cake?


Simply beautiful.


I love that this one takes a flat medium and renders it in 3D:

In fact, every little detail on this cake makes me love it more. Awesome.


And finally, I was nearly knocked out of my chair when I saw this tattooed beauty:


Holy molasses! The roses, the neon colors, the hand-painted topsy tiers... I'm in love.

Check out all the detail:

The outlining on the roses even makes them seem more 2D. So clever!
