Tools to actually make money onlineThe cake Grace baked looks more like a piece of art rather than something you would serve to your guests but the woman assured that everything you see is completely edible - except for maybe the cattail stems that are made of dried bamboo. The baker says she stayed up until 5 am while baking it but the result was clearly worth the sleepless night.

Grace says that she had this project on her to-do list for quite a while but has always been too intimidated to start. However, she decided to finally take the plunge and says she's very glad she did.

To create all the tiny details, Grace used sweet bean paste and agar-based jello. She says it was her first time using the paste and she spent 40 minutes peeling the kidney beans just to make the tiny waterlily leaves.

"I love making small and intricate things, and I had so so much fun working on the lilies and koi," writes the baker on her Instagram post.
