Alexander McQueen Cakes: Couture Confections

I've been a little bit obsessed with the designs of fashion genius Alexander McQueen for years, and I know that I'm not alone.  But what I didn't realize, is that there are a bunch of other cake designers (all over the world) equally inspired by Alexander McQueen's designs.  This shouldn't come as a surprise, ---the magic and fantasy of McQueen's couture collections translate beautifully into sugar and icing.
I've made two wedding cakes inspired by Alexander McQueen designs (and I'm working on a third---see, obsessed!)  Here they are as well as some of my favorites by other bakers found online, Bia Cake Design in Italy,  Rooney Girl Bake Shop in California, Bobbette & Belle in Toranto and Maggie Austin Cakes in DC, (oh yeah, and us Cake Power in NY : )
*Please let me know if I've missed anyone I would love to add some more pics to this collection!

Cake by Cake Power.  Inspirations: Sarah Burton's Monarch Butterfly dress for Alexander McQueen & Blue Kaleidoscope dress

Cake by Bobbette & Belle. (Same butterfly Dress; very different butterfly interpretation!) "This cake we created for an editorial had hundreds of hand painted sugar Monarch butterflies on it. It was inspired by a dress created by the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen. You may have noticed that this dress was also featured in the recent HungerGames Catching Fire movie!"
