Texas Couple’s Hyperrealistic Trophy Buck Wedding Cake Goes Viral: “Wouldn’t Be Able To Eat That Masterpiece”
Forget artificial intelligence… it’s the advancement in cake technology in recent years that we really need to talk about.

Forget artificial intelligence… it’s the advancement in cake technology in recent years that we really need to talk about.
Everyone and their mother is talking about A.I. right now and how it’s exponential improvement can be overwhelming. Just a few years ago, we were laughing off some of the things artificial intelligence was accomplishing. Now? It’s become a little unsettling how good A.I. has gotten.
But I’m here to say that cake realism has arguably seen more growth in the past decade. Back in the day, a nice, square sheet cake was all it took to make people happy. You might do a stacked and layered cake for a big event, like a wedding, but otherwise, the cake industry was rather basic.
Now I don’t know when cakes started getting so extravagant, but I’d guess the “Cake Boss” had something to do with it. It’s almost as if elaborate cakes was an untapped market, and then once it was tapped, those types of culinary creations became more and more plentiful.
Somewhere along the cake timeline, bakers decided that they wanted to attempt to make cakes that look so real, people can’t tell if they’re cake or not. That prompted a number of viral social media videos, an entire gameshow based around it (Is It Cake?), and a recent episode of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia where there was a full-fledged Danny Devito cake.
And speaking of viral, the world now has a cake maker that specializes in making hyperrealistic cakes that look like wildlife. Nothing is off limits for Sugarbelle Sweets: a company in Corpus Christi, Texas that’s taking cake craftsmanship to a whole other level.
They can take some eggs and flour and turn them into just about any wild animal you could think of. Deer, ducks, coyotes, pangolins, flounder… you name it. One of the latest creations from the self-taught baker was a white-tail buck for a wedding, and it’s truly astounding how real it looks.
That’s why it’s currently going viral online:
That’s a cinnamon streusel cake? Not a downed big buck? I can hardly believe it.
Like I said earlier, hyperrealistic cakes aren’t an entirely new thing. But this feels like it’s taking the baking art form to the next level, and social media users are having trouble wrapping their head around it (while also praising the Texas-based baker):
“This is the most realistic cake I’ve ever seen. Incredible.”
“Unbelievable! I wouldn’t be able to eat that masterpiece!”
“This is a masterpiece.”
“Amazing. High fence cake.”
“It’s so realistic, I couldn’t eat it.”
“This is epic.”
“How long did that take?! Absolute perfection.”
“It’s so pretty… but please don’t let my boyfriend see this.”
“This is insane! I wish I had seen this before my wedding.”
Yeah… now if you just have a regular ol’ white cake tower at your wedding, it’s boring. In 2025, you’ve got to go with the trophy buck cake.
