4. Life-size Yoda cake

The internet has had a bit of a meltdown recently over videos and photos of cakes made to look like everyday items. They’re so realistic that they almost bend reality when they’re being cut into and the items are revealed as cake and icing.

After seeing these videos, we needed more, more, more, so we reached out to Natalie Sideserf, owner and resident artist at Sideserf Cake Studio in Austin, Texas. She’s one of the amazing cake artists creating this gorgeous, edible artwork. She not only told us about how she got her start, she hooked us up with photos of some of her jaw-dropping work.

Check them out!

1. Cow skull cake

This is the first cake Sideserf took a stab at for a friend’s birthday party. Little did she know this would be the first step in her delicious cake-making journey.

2. Willie Nelson bust cake

This is the bust cake that garnered Sideserf her first online accolades. Her brother submitted the cake to Reddit and it ended up on the front page of the site.

3. Mike Ehrmantraut cake

Sideserf had the opportunity to make this cake for Johnathan Banks, the actor who plays Mike Ehrmantraut on both AMC’s Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

She had a fangirl moment when Banks shouted out the cake on the late-night talk show Conan, thanking her for making it for him.

4. Life-size Yoda cake

Is that… Yoda? Not quite, but it sure looks a lot like him. Sideserf had the chance to team up with bakers on Food Network’s Buddy Vs. Duff to make this hyper-realistic cake as a member of team Duff.

5. Peach cake

When Sideserf was studying art at The Ohio State University she had to draw peaches in her sketching work. It looks like a real peach on the outside, but yeah, it’s really cake.

6. Michael Scott cake

A delicious homage to the district manager of Dunder Mifflin Inc. in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) from the television show The Office.

7. Stuffed cow cake

We’re almost entering Matrix territory with the multiple dimensions of this cake replica of a stuffed animal that’s a replica of the University of Texas mascot, Bevo.

8. Chicken biscuit sandwich cake

Another straight-up nod to Texas is this delicious cake that looks like a delicious Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. Yeah, we said delicious twice. You stop it.
