10 Cake Instagrams That’ll Leave You Drooling All Over Your Screen
Jan
Who can resist drooling over the decadent drip cakes, too-cute-to-function cookies, cupcakes piled high with buttercream, unbelievable sugarcraft creations and patisserie-perfect slices of heaven that are offered up by the internet’s finest cake Instagrams? I take my hat off to you if you can. I, for one, am a slave to the delights found on my feed.
Instagram was surely made for cake. Perhaps more recently, cake was made for Instagram. In order to be inspired, stay on top of trends and be in-the-know when it comes to all things baking, you need to be tapped into this platform. That’s why I’ve spent the morning scrolling through hundreds, possibly thousands, of cake Instagrams to firmly cement my who’s who list for 2018. It’s an exercise that admittedly almost resulted in death by image-prompted starvation. Yes, be still my beating heart.
Thankfully, I can write the time off as work-related research – and before you ask, yes, I love my job. It also means that I can help you skip the leg work of curating your feed by sharing my personal favourites (although I will say you won’t regret getting stuck into the hunt yourself if you’re ever afforded the time).
So on that note, do yourself a favour and follow these 10 phenomenal cake Instagrams.

The sweetheart of all things sweet, Katherine Sabbath has gone from hobby baker to cake decorating influencer. If she hasn’t popped up in your feed lately, be sure to check out her current offerings for bang on trend inspo.
Clifford is another Australian Instagram star. Love the texture on this stunner…. a special cake for his special Mum.

The first time I came across the name Marta Hidalgo was at the inaugural International Cake Show Australia (ICSA) Competition in May, 2017. If you appreciate cake and sugarcraft sculptures then you’ll be happy to hear that Marta is on her way back to Australia for ICSA 2018 line-up!
Fancy a little opulence? Toronto cake artist Alexandria Pellegrino’s lavish creations look too good to eat. Well, almost!

Chelsey White is a New York city cake content creator. She fills her feed with videos which make for great inspiration. Additionally, it’s a great resource for information.
I’ve long admired Faye Cahill’s cakes. They’re always clean, elegant and luxurious.
‘Queen of Chocolate’ Kirsten Tibballs is one of Australia’s most celebrated pastry chefs/chocolatiers. Her work is precise, perfect and delectable. WARNING: her feed may lead to unsightly drooling.
Clearly a master of cake and floral sugarcraft, Maggie’s Instagram is stunning and nods to her artistic approach. It’s hard to tell whether this example is sugar flowers or a 17th century Dutch painting, right?

Emily Lael Aumiller is the chef + owner of a Brooklyn V & GF cake studio and it looks like she can make a decent pav too! Be sure to notice the berries and small edible flowers. We expect to see more of this trend in 2018.
Anna Elizabeth produces super pretty and award-winning cakes in Vancouver. This cake was chosen as one of Canada’s Prettiest Cakes for 2017 by @weddingbellsmag. No small wonder why.
