PHOTOS: Check Out These Iconic New York Buildings Made of Cake

Bakers from the design studio Wimberly Interiors drew their inspiration from the facade of a building near their office in Nolita.  

Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone installed his work "Hell, Yes!" on the exterior of the New Museum when it opened its new building on the Bowery in 2007.

"We saw this and we thought it was so cool," Wimberly designer Anisah Ahmed, 30, said. "It's not uncommon for our office to yell out, 'Hell, yes!' We're a cool group."

Team Wimberly made the base of its edible New Museum out of funfetti cake and the upper floors from Rice Krispies. The sign was made from sour belts, the glass windows from corn syrup. The exterior was covered in fondant icing, embossed with a mesh grill.

Interior designer Jackie Ellis' team, representing Jeffrey Beers International, created the bulk of their Metropolitan Opera House from chocolate and toffee cake. 

The front arches were made of Rice Krispies and covered in fondant icing.

"We used five tubes of fondant, we very little left over," said Ellis, 23.

Fountain ingredients included Rice Krispies, buttercream frosting, rock candy, and edible spray paint. 

The team from Bespoke Careers, a design sector recruiting firm, built another toothsome replica of the Met Opera's building. It stood between a model of David Geffen Hall and the David H. Kock Theater.

"We thought it would be a relatively simple building to create, because of its geometry," said Rami Aizenman, 43, an architectural consultant and amateur baker testing his creative limits. 

The team used Rice Krispies, Pirouettes, Ritter Sport chocolate bars and breadsticks as the majority of its materials.

But Lincoln Center plaza's central fountain, a cheesecake brulee, called for other ingredients and tools: namely, a blowtorch. 

Designer and architects from MADE, a firm based in Red Hook, didn't have to look far for their entry idea.

"When we look out of our window, we see a vast sea of blue," architect Andrea Fisk, 30, said. "It's the blue of IKEA. So we decided to honor our neighborhood."

Layers of MADE's IKEA lemon cake were cemented with lingonberry jam. Silver sprinkles cover its "gravel" roof, and a STORABO rug ($7.99) sits underneath a platform built in MADE's woodshop.

"We didn't put in the meatballs, but did think of a meatball cake," said project designer Jess Thomas.
