Cakes that look like succulents are the best way to eat your greens

It's not a vegetable, but it doesn't need to be.

Is eating cupcakes that look like plants the same as eating plants? Nope. Do we care? Not necessarily.

Enter Ivenoven, a baker in Jakarta, Indonesia who makes desserts inspired by plant life — bouquets, terrariums, and even the ever-trendy succulent.

All the cakes' exquisite details are piped by hand, and Ivenoven carefully mixes powdered sugar, butter, and food coloring to achieve the perfect hue for each petal and leaf. No two plants — and no two cupcakes — turn out exactly alike.

Want a new terrarium and also a snack? If you're lucky enough to live nearby, you can buy Ivenoven's creations through Zoezo Bake. If not, well, you can always peruse (and sigh loudly at) her Instagram and Facebook pages.
