Klimt's favorite dessert was guglhupf with whipped cream so that's the cake flavor. Guglhupf is similar to bundt cake but it uses yeast for leavening and I made the marbled one (chocolate and vanilla).

    This is one of the most impressively artistic bakes I’ve ever seen. Wow.

    This is such a creative crossover between art and baking. You really captured the texture of Klimt’s work with the shimmer and color layering. It’s one of those bakes that makes you stop scrolling for a second.

    Wow, that’s just lovely!!! I feel like Girl with a Pearl Earring would lend itself well to a cake rendition. That is some amazing talent!!

    The black sprinkle frame was a great idea. Really sets off the painting well.

  7. scimocdit

    Looks great! Are you individually placing all of those sprinkles!?

    This is a cake?! I had to check the sub name bc I thought it was beaded artwork! Well done!

    This is the coolest damn thing I’ve ever seen. I am genuinely amazed! Well done! It also looks delicious!!

    Stunning. Absolutely gorgeous 😍 I can’t even imagine the time it took with little tweezers to get this right. Your patience paid off!

    You are incredible. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

    I’m most amazed at the cross section cut pic showing that it’s a single layer of sprinkles!!

  13. FeralSweater

    Wow. That’s a true work of art.

    Did you use tweezers?

    When I think of sprinkles, my first thoughts are low effort and unimpressive. They are cute and dress things up easily but don’t take much skill.

    This, however, is truly incredible. A masterpiece that Klimt himself would be proud of.

  15. ExaminationAsleep990

    👏🏻 that was awesome! The cake part also looks delicious.

  16. It’s beautiful, and I’m guessing delicious. I hope you take good pictures of your creations. Suitable for framing?

    I love this so much. Gustav Klimt is my favorite painter. You did an amazing job. 🩷

  18. ExoticPoetry17

    WOW! I absolutely love Klimt and this is ridiculously amazing and looks scrumptious to boot!

  19. PeaceAlternative4384

    At first I thought this was on the beading sub. Amazing work!

  20. Stepinfection

    This is absolutely stunning and I love that you made his favorite cake as well!

  21. fomalhautisfish

    i thought i was on embriodery subreddit. this is so beautiful!

  22. _unrealist_

    Amazing! Can I ask where you got such a beautiful array of sprinkles?

  23. hanimal16

    This is my absolute favourite painting, so anything that recreates it is automatically my favourite as well.

  24. deliberatewellbeing

    now that is dedication to craft. im honestly surprised you can do this with whipped cream… it’s hard to move sprinkles around with whipped cream as it is so wet and sticky compared to buttercream

  25. theodore55

    This is incredible. I could not bring myself to cut into it.

  26. HailArtGoddess

    Are you an artist by profession? Do you do other work such as painting or drawing? Obviously you love the masters (as do I!). I found over the years the need to express creativity in new ways was important to me. This looks like an awesome way to do it if you also love baking. Very very well done.

    I saw Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer in person and I never really had any other artwork blow me away like that one did. I sat and spent a lot of time looking at it very very memorable to experience it in person. This cake is stunning. 10 hours “This time” is some serious dedication!

  28. Carbon-Base

    First with Starry Night and now this, take a bow OP!

  29. raeality

    Sprinkles are such a perfect medium for a Klimt cake! The slice looks amazing too. Beautiful!

    I am legit so impressed with the sprinkle mosaic and actively using similar colors but different textures instead of using the same sprinkles for all green or gold.
