Featuring elegant timepieces, Zeppelins, gleaming cogs, gears and cranks, these cakes, as featured on Cake Wreck, are some of the most artisticly intricate we’ve ever seen.

Borne of a combination of sci-fi literature and Victoriana, Steampunk is swiftly gaining popularity and is no longer an underground oddity.
Combining elements of history with modern technology, the term "steampunk" was coined in 1987 by sci-fi writer Kevin Jeter, as a means of separating the “Victorian-style speculative fiction” from the "cyberpunk" movement epitomised by William Gibson and Bruce Bethke.
Tuck in, chaps.
