And now a baker has also started incorporating succulents into her cakes, after discovering she had a hidden talent for creating icing in their image.

Iven Kawi, who is based in Jakarta, describes herself as an ‘artisan baker’ who specialises in these green-fingered bakes for all occasions.

The mum, who started out creating cookies for her daughter’s school bake sales, now has a thriving business creating these exquisite cakes, and has made a real niche for herself in doing so.
