Designed by Moscow-based Tortik Annushka, these opulent cakes come in a variety of different designs and themes that are each as unique and luxurious as the next. Inspired by everything from [fairy tales to pop culture movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-celebration-cake) such as Star Wars, these cakes are bought for [weddings and large events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robocake). Most beautiful is the baker's signature cake decoration that features layered sliced pears that have been dyed bold colors. Other beautiful patterns include [intricate 3D flower detailing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein), multi-colored patterns and cake sections that appear as if they are made from metal.
