The amateur baker behind these hyper-realistic cakes has never even had any formal training.

Dolnyk’s passion for cake art first began in 2015 when her sister asked her to bake her a wedding cake for her.

"I don't treat it like a business. And I don't want to turn baking into business and mass production," Dolnyk said.

"I really like that every cake is unique, I never make the same cake twice, and that not everyone can afford it," she added, clarifying that "I don't mean that it is too expensive. What I mean is that the demand for cakes is so high that even if I bake my entire life I won't be able to meet it."
