It doesn’t take a cake lover or maker to completely freak out over the majesty of Olga Noskova's glossy cakes.
Based in Ufa, Russia (the capital city of the Republic of Bashkortostan), she has quite the Instagram following (282,000 and counting) and her account is totally going viral right now—just in the short time writing this piece, her following jumped by 3,000—because CAKES.
Olga has mastered a glazing technique that creates a flawless, reflective look that is like a love child of a peacefully still pool of water and the Milky Way.
Ziggy Stardust would totally dig these cakes so hard.
Who even knew a bundt cake could look like the glossiest patent leather?
The cakes inspire deep longing—people are loving their bright colors and perfect, smooth, shiny exteriors.
The images jump off the screen—the shimmery cakes make you want to shove your face into them.
These aren’t just masterpieces on the outside: her techniques for the fillings are also exacting and unique.
Even though many westerners probably have no idea what her posts say, the images of her pretty cakes are transfixing enough. People are leaving comments in languages from all over the world, because, well, the language of cake is universal.
Here's looking at you, Olga!
