BLOOMING BUTTERCREAM

Fresh. Sweet. Fabulous. Buttercream flower cakes by Seoul based pastry chef Atelier Soo are astonishingly beautiful edible works of art.

Flowers have long been a favorite cake decoration, whether they are fresh or fashioned from confections. We’ve been treated to many over the years. But Atelier Soo floral cakes are like nothing we’ve seen before. They are remarkably lifelike.

With incredible attention to detail -- color, shape, and texture -- each blossom looks like it was just plucked from a cottage garden. The combination of flower varieties are beautifully composed to form floral arrangements, so real, it’s hard to believe they are cakes -- rather, they look like gorgeous table centerpieces or bouquets.

Atelier Soo makes single-tiered cakes and cupcakes that will make you swoon. They look too pretty to eat. But don’t let that stop you. The flowers are made with premium butter, cream, and confectioners sugar.
