Hi All,
I just recently posted a cake that was inspired by a black & white ruffled dress by Valentino that popped up when I did a google search for something entirely unrelated, for another cake. After I made it, before I posted it here, I saw an ad for the exact same dress on CakesDecor and found it funny & ironic – even mentioned it in my cake post.
Well, I actually ended up having the same ad show up when I opened up my cake photo later that day and thought I’d share a screen shot of it with everyone – just thought it was so funny! I think only other cake enthusiasts like me could appreciate it!
Not sure if this has been done before but it got me thinking it would be fun to share other things that might have inspired a design! Here’s another one – this is a photo of a tissue box that inspired the colours for another one of my recent cakes:
Anyone else have one they’d like to share? If so, I thought it might be fun!

Lovely cakes Violet. Yeah it does sound like fun and interesting :-). Here is a cake I did recently that was inspired by an Indonesian Kebaya. As soon as I saw the Kebaya, I so loved it and wanted to try it out :-). Close ups of the cake
A lovely friend of mine asked me to create a cake for her daughters christening based on the invitations & guest book, this is what I came up with x
Great idea Violet!!! These are my Owls that you all know, they were inspired by a postcard as you can see…I just gave them a Ana twist!! xxx
Just thought I’d share the inspiration for the pattern on the 3rd tier of my most recent cake – just for fun to show that inspiration really can come from anywhere!
This is why I was inspired to make my beloved other half his pike cake! He caught this at a reservoir in oldham using a goldfish lure and it took the lure right near the edge or the water, very exciting!!!! It weighed about 14lb!
And the cake…….
Great topic violet, love to see what cakes can come from, I find myself everyday looking at stuff and thinking I could turn that into a cake! xx :)
Here’s mine, inspired by an Elie Saab Haute Couture dress…
