1. Botanical cakes by Leslie Vigil
The 32-year-old California pastry chef has won universal acclaim for her amazing flower cakes. Leslie is not just a cook, she is a real artist who creates the most complex compositions of cream and glaze. Vigil takes inspiration from the botanical garden near the cactus and succulent beds, and then creates exact copies of them in his kitchen.
“I graduated from the famous French culinary school Le Cordon Bleu,” says Leslie, “but even after that I couldn’t find a job for a long time. Then I just closed in the kitchen and started making cupcakes for friends and neighbors, and uploading photos to the Internet. Soon I had more than 100 subscribers, orders and offers poured in. And now I work in a restaurant and teach. “
In October of this year, Leslie first became a mother and went on parental leave. But even so, every weekend she creates another floral masterpiece.
2. Edible ashtray, sponge and bolts

6. Cakes as the art of Elena Gnut
A pastry chef girl lives in Kaliningrad and has one of the most beautiful dessert accounts. At first glance, you will not even understand that in front of you is a cake, and not a sculpture or some kind of antique knick-knack for the interior. There are no two repeating desserts – Elena’s fantasies can only be envied! They are united, perhaps, by one thing: such cakes are simply a pity to eat.
By the way, Elena not only bakes, but also teaches: she conducts master classes in Kaliningrad, and in other cities of the country, and abroad. And her subscribers are unanimously surprised how she manages to be so slim, because she is a pastry chef!
7. Amira Kassem’s sweet rainbow
Amira Kassem was born and raised in Mexico. She dreamed of becoming a star in the fashion industry, becoming a cool designer. But she became a pastry chef. Amira was once taught to bake cakes by her mother. She did not study anywhere else – only the basics of culinary skills from her own kitchen. The girl baked festive treats with pleasure for her friends and relatives. And at one point, the snowball effect kicked in. Friends of friends asked where they bought such a wonderful birthday cake. Cakes with the piñata effect were especially popular: these are toys that are hung from a tree at Mexican holidays and beaten with a bat until sweets sprinkle out of it. She now has her own pastry shop in New York and has a ton of Instagram fans.
“I never went to culinary school, never learned how to run my business. I just had fun, I woke up every day and did what I wanted, ”said Amira.
