Admire and relish these edible works of art

Milly Burroughs

Boasting irresistibly satisfying ripples of marbled colour, and the type of eggshell speckle that you find on the inside of reassuringly expensive book covers, it’s hard to believe that design polymath Kia Utzon-Frank’s sculptural creations are as edible as these are beautiful. 

With a flawlessly smooth matte finish that is more commonly associated with deliciously cool slabs of granite and marble, these uber-Instagram-ready cakes barely look real.

Combining the architectural appeal of unexpected geometric form and the comforting indulgence of layers of perfectly formed sponge, these immaculate cakes are the debut creations from the designer’s new patisserie range ‘KUFcakes’, an offshoot of her multi-disciplinary brand KUFstudio, which will encompass of a diverse selection of KUF-branded products, including jewellery and window blinds.

Renowned within the design industry for her jewellery making skills and innovative product design, Royal College of Art graduate Utzon-Frank’s striking contemporary cake designs will be showcased at Clerkenwell London’s Design Undefined exhibition during Clerkenwell Design Week. — The Independent
