Making these cakes from scratch might take Canadian confectioner and baker Ksenia Penkina around three days, but the outcome – mirror glazed mousse cakes – makes it all worth it. Made from natural ingredients that include milk, fruit, berries and of course chocolate the brightly coloured cakes are covered in a glaze that essentially turns them into mirrors so shiny you can see your own reflection.
Some of the most satisfying cakes we’ve ever seen, it almost seems a shame to actually eat them, although we’re sure that guilt soon passes the moment you take a bite. You can see more of Penkina’s amazing cake creations on Instagram and Facebook.
