Reddit, We Sincerely Underestimated How Pretty Your Cakes Are (PHOTOS)

We cannot believe how amazing these things are!

The food community on Reddit never ceases to amaze us. Whether they're breaking new ground in cooking themselves the most depressing meals we've ever seen, failing valiantly at every recipe in sight or totally inspiring us by making things even we are a little trepidatious about, they've always got a surprise for us. Usually they are funny, make us worry for their safety or get us to try a food that makes us worry about our own (remember the shrimp frosting debacle?).

Today, we finally get to talk about how delicious something on Reddit is, and it's all because of /r/Baking. This sub-Reddit focuses on exactly what it sounds like, and the community members there have turned out some of the prettiest cakes we have ever seen. Seriously pretty cakes. Professionally pretty cakes. Thanks for the inspiration guys! Now we need to go eat all the cake.
