The Most Flawless Buttercream Flower Cakes We’ve Ever Seen

There’s no better time than COVID to re-discover your inner baker. Cooking and baking don’t just fill up our stomachs, it nourishes our souls. The other thing that’s gotten us through this time is nature and it’s awe-inspiring beauty in quiet moments. This baker decided to combine those two inspirations with her buttercream flower art, which has earned 100,000 followers on IG.

Based in Bangkok, Thailand, Kwun is an artist and baker who runs Butter & Blossoms. We’ve seen lots of pretty floral cake art, and the realistic nature of Kwun’s art has our jaws dropped.

Take this sculpture of a peony, for instance. The curling nature of the petals and the unfurling movement add some serious movement into this food art, with soothing green leaves to add some balance.

We also adore how she sometimes paints the stems and leaves on the body of the cake, with the flowers as a crown of sorts, so it kind of looks like a freestanding bouquet of flowers. Looking at nature makes us feel peaceful, but add dessert to that and you have the best of both worlds.

Her flowers are made from ingredients like glossy buttercream and bean paste. The fact that this isn’t pure fondant blows our mind.
