Many food artists enjoy making cakes inspired by our favorite cartoons, but no one is doing it like Keely Gonzalez. Keely’s Cake Studio founder is always looking for fun and silly ways to pay homage to our favorite cartoons through her creative birthday cakes.
Keely is a cake-maker from Fontana, California, who attracted over 40,000 Instagram pages through her baking experiments. She made a smart decision to focus on several types of cake designs that are extremely popular right now, including shag cakes and vintage cakes with a retro vibe.
Her style is pretty versatile and she can make a dream cake for pretty much everyone, but the ones that helped her go viral were mostly cartoon-inspired. They see her paying homage to our favorite animated shows through fun references that only the die-hard fans would understand.
The most notable example is the SpongeBob SquarePants cake she made last year, featuring a popular quote, “What’s funnier than 24? 25!” The viral video that shows her making this shag cake received over 13 million views on Instagram, becoming one of Keely’s most popular to date.
Its success inspired her to make more cakes themed around our favorite cartoons, including Scooby-Doo, The Powerpuff Girls, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
