Miniature food has taken over Instagram pages for several months now, and the “Tiny food” trend is not about to run out of steam. Coming from Japan, this culinary art which consists in reproducing dishes on the scale of a Lilliputian does not omit any style of cooking:from traditional Asian dishes to junk food, via refined desserts. And speaking of desserts, Rachel Dyke, a "miniaturist" who lives in Los Angeles, has decided to dedicate her work to one of them, and not just any since it is the cake. The artist recreates from real models sublime cakes at the forefront of the trend, of all shapes, all colors, and with more or less details.

Internet users, who are 15,000 to follow Rachel Dyke's page, are amazed by the details (worked with the needle) present on each of the works:“Your work is incredible. The love you have for it shows in each of the cakes “That’s so cool. Bravo, you should make tutorials », « Artistic and fun! “, can we read in the comments. We agree, it's simply stunning!
