These Tasty Cakes are Decorated to Look Like Embroidered Dresses

If you don’t know how much I love sweets, you might think that cakes are an odd choice to share on Brown Paper Bag. But as I write this, I’m munch­ing on some cook­ies and think­ing about ice cream, so the embroi­dered cakes by Leslie Vig­il are very on-brand for me.

Using piped icing to mim­ic the satin stitch, Leslie cre­ates a tapes­try-like sur­face dec­o­ra­tion that’s rem­i­nis­cent of embroi­dered Mex­i­can dress­es. Often, the styl­ized hearts and flow­ers are paired with three-dimen­sion­al but­ter­cream flow­ers as well as cup­cakes. Grab me a fork, please.

For the lat­est on what Leslie is bak­ing, fol­low­ing her on Insta­gram. (h/t: Meet Me at Mikes)
