If you’ve spent dozens of hours watching The Great British Bake Off, you might feel extremely confident in your ability to make a delicious cake. You understand how to pair complementary flavors and how to achieve the perfect fluffy texture. But another element of baking that only true experts can master is aesthetics.
A cake certainly doesn’t need to be stunning to be scrumptious. It’s what’s on the inside that counts! But if your strawberry loaf looks like an adorable field of flowers and mushrooms, you’re going to leave everyone’s jaw on the floor. We took a trip to the Baking subreddit and gathered some of their community’s most impressive creations below. So enjoy scrolling through this list that will leave you simultaneously impressed and craving a slice of cake. And be sure to upvote the creations that you consider too beautiful to eat!

#63 Cheesecake That Made My Friend Cry
One of my best friends is sleeping on my couch after escaping her ex. I wanted to make her 30th birthday special because it’s been such a rough year for her. She said her grandma used to make a cherry cheesecake so I attempted to recreate it. Upon having the first bite, she burst into tears because it tasted exactly how her grandma used to make. The power of baking.
