Cuban Artist Celebrates Birthday with Astonishing Cake: "Is This Really a Cake?"

The culinary prowess of Cuban talent continues to make waves in the United States, and this time, a birthday cake has captured everyone's attention. The recipient of this extraordinary creation was artist Ángel Jesús Rodríguez Quintero, commonly known as Ángel, who celebrated his 38th birthday with an exceptionally unique gift: a cake designed to look like an authentic Cohiba cigar box.

This masterpiece was crafted by Cuban baker Jansel Suárez, based in Naples. His business, Custom Cakes, is famed for its hyper-realistic designs, and this particular cake was no exception. The cake meticulously mimicked a box of Cuban cigars, complete with intricate details like security seals, wood texture, and even a lid that could be opened as if it were a genuine humidor.

Jansel expressed his gratitude on social media, thanking the artist Ángel and @gloria_estefanyoficial for the opportunity to be part of such a special day. “Thank you for letting me be part of this special day," he wrote, acknowledging their trust in his craft.

The comments section was filled with humor and amazement. Some initially believed the cake was an actual cigar box, while others laughed at how its realism led to such confusion. Phrases like “A cake?” or “What on earth is this?” humorously flooded the post. Many users praised Jansel's talent, calling his work “art with hands,” “impressive,” and “that cake is insane.”

Not only did this creation astonish the birthday celebrant, but it also went viral due to its originality. Jansel continues to establish himself as one of the most inventive Cuban bakers in South Florida, seamlessly blending flavor with visual art in each of his personalized creations.
