These detailed ‘Encanto’ cakes are absolutely magical
Hit Disney film “Encanto” has people (not) talking about Bruno and so many creative fan tributes that have appeared online since the movie’s debut in late 2021.
TikTok alone is aflutter with musical and cosplay homages set to “Encanto” hit songs. But the animated film has also inspired displays of edible artistry: talented bakers are serving up incredible cakes inspired by the magical Madrigal family.
Mirvat Hachem Osseili of @bakemydaymimo has created three takes on a mini Casita, where Mirabel Madrigal and her magical family live.
There’s one with a round roof and blue, purple and yellow colors as seen below. Another rounded roof house has pink and yellow notes, and a flat-roofed casita has shingles that reminded some of Osseili’s fans of acrylic nails.

“Ever since I watched ‘Encanto,’ I really had the urge to create a cake for it,” Osseili told Good Morning America. “I was inspired because I come from an immigrant family and I can relate to the family, especially Luisa.”
Sophie of @bunglesbakes lip-synced to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” while she filmed herself making a colorful “Encanto” cake from start to finish.
@bunglesbakes Obsessed with this cake 🌸🌻🌺🦋 #encanto #caketok #smallbusiness #wedonttalkaboutbruno
Lara Mason of @lara_cakeanything made a truly impressive, accurate and large Mirabel sculpted cake. (You can watch the whole making of on YouTube.)

And she has plans to create a swinging Isabela cake, which she has already modeled out of clay.
Speaking of sculpted cakes, @johndenim created sculpted cake heads of three main characters in “Encanto” — Bruno, Luisa and Dolores.

Josué Luciano, who goes by @jou.king91 on TikTok, created a themed cake for each of the Madrigal family members, with detailed piping and decorations — plus a Casita for good measure.
@jou.king91 My #Encanto inspired cakes. Which one is your favorite?
Liz Marek of @sugargeekshow stacked three cakes askew on top of each other for a creative Casita inspired by the one in “Encanto.”
@sugargeekshow I love casita and Luisa 😍 who’s your favorite character? #encanto #casita #cakedecorating #sugargeekshow #familymadrigal

And perhaps most impressive of all is a large recreation of the Madrigal’s Casita that British baker Sam Osborne, who goes by @the_tattoed_cake_lady on TikTok, made for Disney in just three days.
