These Cakes By Leslie Vigil Look Like They’ve Been Decorated With Needle And Thread
Leslie Vigil describes herself as a cake artist and you probably couldn’t come up with a better description for her. Vigil is whipping up such elaborate cake ideas, they definitely belong in a gallery. For her recent colorful collection, Tapestry Cakes, the Flour Child used icing as “stitches” to craft stylized flowers, symmetrical laurel leaf patterns, and other details on her beautiful cakes.

These cakes definitely have a Mexican folk vibe to them. You can totally picture Frida Kahlo wearing a dress with similar embroidery patterns. In some of her works, Leslie mixes it up a little, adding other influences, for example, Russian influences. “I love the idea of harmonizing textile embroidery traditions into my cake designs from different cultures,” she said.

Never. unless you mean they sacrificed taste to make things 'artsy' at which point... I'd say its a waste. Still the decorations are impressive... but I'm eating it.

SO UNBELIEVABLY, INCREDIBLY, OUTSTANDING AND INSANELY GORGEOUS! EDIBLE WORKS OF ART, THAT MAY BE TOO BEAUTIFUL TO EAT... BUT... MAYBE JUST A FEW SMALL BITES! THIS WOMAN IS RIDICULOUSLY TALENTED, AND SOOO STUNNING (WAS THAT HER PICTURE?!)~ WOW, WHAT A PACKAGE! IS SHE SINGLE??💗💜😲💙👑🎂🎉
Love the third one from the bottom that has a plain top and room for candles.Its stunning without the top extra flowers.
The flowers on the cupcakes and cakes were exquisite. I wold have preferred some other 'stitching' on the cakes besides flowers and circles.
Fantastic cakes! However, I would rather have a fake one of these as a decorative item in my home! Maybe that could be a new line of business!
Makes me want to throw a party for ME for no reason at all, just to enjoy a gorgeous cake!
I was a cake decorator until carpal tunnel forced me out of business, and these are absolutely gorgeous. I'm so jealous that I can't try this!
A disability that can be invisible and devastating. Wishing great friends for you

2 of my favorite things baking and crafting. Beautiful cakes. I hope to have your skills in cake one day
I may be alone on this but that is way too much fondant/frosting on the tops of those cakes. Imagine slicing through the flowers on the top, that is pure frosting/fondant (not sure which they used). When I am eating cake I want a certain amount of cake and a certain amount of frosting, not a mouthful of just frosting/fondant.
Agreed, but some folk prefer the icing/fondant, and won't even touch the cake, and vice versa. However, usually the flowers are carefully removed before the cake is cut into. Also these would be special occasion pieces, where appearance may be equally important to flavor, such as a wedding
