Now, NineCakes didn’t put anything in our swag basket to alert me to their existance – but they certainly made quite an impression. The fabulous cake they made for my birthday so blew me away that I immediately looked them up and felt as though I was totally late to the party on this one. My fanaticism for beautiful pastries should have made me aware of NineCakes‘ work ages ago, but I immediately resolved to correct my delay in covering them.
The cakes this Brooklyn-based company creates are indescribably beautiful. The piping work blows me away, and the mixture of textures and innovative design elements combine to create innovative, unique, and jaw-dropping pastries. I have a lot of respect for their trademark perspective – I can’t say I’ve seen anything that is similar to their style, and think it’s quite courageous to use smoothed icing rather than fondant nowadays since it’s almost become a crutch. I’m really genuinely impressed!

I love the textured looks! My favorite is the middle cake in the middle picture with three… beautiful!
those cakes are like works of art. you can barely tell they are using fondant!
Can I possible have one? They really made me want to get married again. Totally love them.
I take your cake tasted as good as it looked. And I agree, it is amazing that they do smoothed icing rather than fondant. I would add tastier too.
