When I first laid eyes on these gorgeous cakes by
Rora Does Cake, I couldn't get over how breathtakingly unique they were. The detailing is so intricate and unusual, at first I thought they were inspired by lace patterns. After a little bit of research, I discovered that they were actually created using henna techniques, and it all started to make sense! It really is a great method to use as design element. The cake sort of becomes a blank canvas, making even the most ordinary dessert feel special!

Wow! Wow! Wow! My Blackberry "Fool" dessert got posted on Tastespotter close to these cakes. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Did they take a long time to do? I have to go back and read more...
These are all absolutely beautiful!!!
These are fantastic. I'd love to do something like this but mine would look like a something on a 5 year olds art wall rather than anything henna-type
STUNNING! What a smart idea!
This is absolutely beautiful and breathe taking!
I would love to have a cake like this for my (FUTURE) wedding
Erin,
Being an Indian, I love Henna any time of the year. This new Henna avatar on cakes is new to me, soo intuitive though. They just look stunningly uber-cool! and I love it. Just wonder how long it took you to make those intricate patterns (without erring i.e.)?
They look breathtakingly beautiful!
fabulous!
WOW
Snippets and Radhika: Thanks for stopping by! I didn't make these myself. I wish that I had! The creators of each piece is listed under the photo. ~Erin
