Anyone who's had a cupcake knows that buttercream
is delicious, but it takes a special combination of baker and sculptor
to turn it into straight-up art. And there's nowhere better to behold
the beauty of buttercream art than Instagram. For starters, check out
these incredibly gorgeous floral cakes and cupcakes.

Atelier Soo is quickly becoming web-famous for all her incredible flower cakes. Follow her at soocake_ully for more.
Leslie Vigil, a cake artist from California's Tasteful Cakes, makes lush, colorful cake creations like this one:
Ready for its close-up, this beautiful flower by Lilly Catalan of
Lillyluvscakes is so detailed that every petal has three layers.
Lulu & Kayla Cakes deserves some serious credit, not only for how
gorgeous these cupcakes are, but also just for how many of them they
make, and for how many different varieties—hydrangeas, roses, and so
much more.
Wow, this basket of flowers cake by Jakarta's Majolica Cakes takes it
beyond just the flowers themselves: the "basket" that they're in is a
work of art in and of itself.
And what would Instagram be without some millennial pink? These
cupcakes by Sydney's Sweets with Love, appropriately enough, have us
falling in love.
These cakes by Kissthecake, a Korean buttercream flower class, are so
well-sculpted you'd be forgiven for mistaking them for actual bouquets.
These delightful floral creations, by Lucia Butter Cream Flower Cake
& Class, another Korean class, look like they belong in paradise.
This floral wreath of a cake, from another Korean buttercream flower
class, would look so gorgeous as a centerpiece that you might not want
to cut into it.
We've got one more Korean buttercream flower class for you: these
cakes from Kim & Cake's students are on point. Clearly the class did
what it was supposed to.
Just kidding! We've got yet another Korean buttercream flower class:
the La Fleurette Flower Cakes. We're loving these miniature, gorgeously
detailed cakes. Okay, maybe it's time for all of us frosting-enthusiasts
to go back to school!
