42 amazing cake designers from 17 countries around the world have come together to celebrate the Festival of Vesak. Each artist has created a cake to honor the triple anniversary of Lord Buddha – his birth, his attaining Enlightenment and his passing away into Nirvana.

We hope this cake collaboration will help bring enlightenment around the world!

The inspiration for my piece emanated from a beautiful painting of the Bodhi Tree and also a desire to include the lantern ceremony. I worked with royal icing for the first time…great fun but I’m not sure Eddie Spence would be too impressed ;) hehe!

You can see all the beautiful creations at https://www.facebook.com/FestivalofVesakCakes
We wish you all a very Happy Vesak Day!
