Instead of creating a gorgeous pink cake with flowers all around, Luciano instead created a cake that serves (no pun intended) as a picture of the old Isabela and the new Isabela. One part of the cake is perfectly pink with flowers. It represents Isabela as we first meet her in the movie: perfect, blooming flowers, and living up to her ‘s expectations.
But the other part of the delicious-looking cake represents Isabela and her new-found freedom to be her true creative self. That part of the cake features cacti, various flowers, and plants, representing Isabela’s creativity.
Another one of Luciano’s cakes is inspired by ‘s cousin, Dolores Madrigal. Dolores’s gift allows her to hear conversations from a mile away–literally. So for this cake, Luciano piped out soundwaves in icing.
It’s a beautiful cake, and it even depicts Dolores curly brunette locks tied up in her signature red bow!
