Does­n’t this look like a deli­cious slice of cake? It cer­tain­ly does! But if you were to bite into it, you’d taste embroi­dery stitch­es, acrylic paint frost­ing, and poly­mer clay sprin­kles. Artist Heather Ríos has cre­at­ed a col­lec­tion of con­fec­tions that fool the eye and show­case her exper­tise at manip­u­lat­ing mate­ri­als to read as some­thing com­plete­ly different.

Through the pho­tos, you can see how Heather has real­ly stud­ied cakes and is able to mim­ic the col­or and fluffi­ness of the quin­tes­sen­tial fun­fet­ti fla­vor. Make sure you watch her videos, too. In them, she dis­pels any notion that you’re look­ing at food by pet­ting the fuzzi­ness threads.

Heather sells orig­i­nals of her work on Etsy.

Think these are cakes? They’re not! Artist Heather Ríos has created funfetti desserts using embroidery floss, acrylic paint, and polymer clay.
