Yes, these are actually cakes not CGI planets
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Boasting irresistibly satisfying ripples of marbled colour, and the type of eggshell speckle that you find on the inside of reassuringly expensive book covers, it’s hard to believe that design polymath Kia Utzon-Frank’s sculptural creations are as edible as they are beautiful.
With a flawlessly smooth matte finish that is more commonly associated with deliciously cool slabs of granite and marble, these uber-Instagram-ready cakes barely look real.
Combining the architectural appeal of unexpected geometric form and the comforting indulgence of layers of perfectly formed sponge, these immaculate cakes are the debut creations from the designer’s new patisserie range 'KUFcakes', an offshoot of her multidisciplinary brand KUFstudio which will encompass of a diverse selection of KUF-branded products including jewellery and window blinds.
Renowned within the design industry for her jewellery making skills and innovative product design, Royal College of Art graduate Utzon-Frank’s striking contemporary cake designs will be showcased at Clerkenwell London’s Design Undefined exhibition during Clerkenwell Design Week.
If you enjoyed these matte finish cakes, you might enjoy these borderline pornographic gloss-glazed ones.
