Some Edible Fun for Foodie Friday!

It's time for Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum! Thanks, Michael for hosting this delicious party each week! I'm a bit late joining in, but I just had to share these cakes...they are truly amazing! These are all said to be made by a bakery named Zhanna, in St. Petersburg, Russia and no plastics or artificial parts were used. All parts of each cake are completely edible. Check 'em out! :-) Click on any pic to enlarge.

Be sure to visit Designs by Gollum for lots of great Foodie Friday feasts!

The winner is always on the cover of DEC Ladies Home Journal. Doesn't it make you wonder how they can spend that much time on something like that & DO THYE EAT THEM???? I can't imagine. Thanks for sharing. Have a safe weekend & enjoy. Hope it's a long one for you.

At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Donna said...: Beautiful cakes! Such creativity. I took one decorating class and I know there is so much work involved. Amazing!
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , caren said...: OMGosh.....simply amazing! Some one is very talented.
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Angie said...: As a cake decorator (amateur!) and maker of sugar ornamentation and flowers, I have to say that these cakes are beautiful. Ours is the only art I can think of where our work which take hours of hard work and patience is completely demolished and destroyed, with our blessing, in minutes. Imagine Leonardo letting somebody carve up the Mona Lisa when the paint was only just dry!

And yes, unless they've been made for a competition they do get eaten - after a million photos have been taken! Even for competitions they are cut to make sure the very strict rules have been followed.

love, Angie, xx
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Sue said...: Wowie! This woman is a talented individual. So much time and work is involved to create such artwork. And yes, I do call it art. It almost seems a shame to have to cut into decorated cakes such as these and eat them. I wonder if she ever thinks, "Let them eat cake." *grin*
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Debbie said...: Truly an art in itself! How amazing.
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Kudzucoszin said...: These are amazing!
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...: That. Is. A-mazing. I think they are all fantastic and can't even say which I like more. I would really have a hard time cutting into one of those.

At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Mid-Atlantic Martha said...: Well that's about the most amazing thing I've ever seen! I wonder how many hours she spends on each cake.
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , SmilingSally said...: What an amazing artist she is! I especially like the little man sitting outside on a log.
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Mrs. Teapot said...: Too bad the creator of these stunning cakes is all the way in Russia! It would be great to make a custom order : )

The cakes are truly unbelievable! Thank you for sharing.

Blessings,

At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , LukesLove said...: Wow! My family just left Mon. to St Pete, Russia for three months. I'll have to send them the link - they'll get a kick out of this! Love the Big Mac! =)
At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...: Hi Brenda,
These pics were sent to me via an e-mail from my sister, but I did find a website that showed a few more...it's http://englishrussia.com/?p=851.
I think the bakery where the cakes were made is called Zhanna, but they don't appear to have a website.

At Saturday, September 05, 2009 , Blondie's Journal said...: Beautiful cakes. I love that cake competition show on the Food Network (can't remember the name) and Ace Of Cakes. You have to love Duff!! And his laugh!!

I wanted to ask a quick computer ?? When you visit a blog from your comments page, how can you return to your own dashboard without clicking the "back" arrow 1000 times or closing out the window (and internet) and starting over.

Thanks so much for your time, Susan!

At Sunday, September 06, 2009 , Jan said...: I can only say Wow...my Mother owned and ran her own catering servive for over 12 years and she was an excellent cake decorator. I know the work it took to do regular and wedding cakes, and I cannot imagine how long it took to do something like this!!

At Monday, September 07, 2009 , Debbie Pearson said...: Those are some extremely fascinating cakes, although some do not look that appetizing to eat :)
