When it came to specialty cake design, I started from scratch. Little over ten years ago, I was organizing a baby shower for a close friend and took notice of the beautiful, one of a kind cakes others would post on Pinterest. I’d baked simple cakes before for small parties and family birthdays but decided it was time to step up my game, learn what fondant was, and attempt a custom design cake! Looking back, I laugh at how the cake came out. That’s not to say it was bad- it was actually a huge hit at the party. Today I’m simply amused by how proud I was of that first cake, knowing now how elegant and intricate my cakes have since become.
All my custom desserts are designed to meet two requirements: it is imperative they match the creative vision of the client, and it is essential they taste as exquisite as they look. The ultimate goal is to “wow” the recipient on both accounts. Clients are often reluctant to cut into their own cakes at first because they love seeing their own ideas artfully interpreted into a one-of-a-kind dessert. Of course, any cake, no matter how beautiful, is unfinished until it has been eaten. After the final pictures have been taken and the client tries a slice, they’ll be stunned by the rich flavor, moist, balanced texture, and velocity at which their piece seems to have vanished from their plate...
No design is impossible. I love taking on cake-based challenges and adding new techniques to my skillset. After countless long nights, I made a name for myself in the cake community, taking the Bronze Award in the Wedding Cake category, both at the Cake International show in Birmingham, England, and New York Cake Show in New York City. I'm proud to say that my designs have also been featured in magazines, such as The Cake Masters Magazine, American Cake Design and Cake Central Magazine. Since 2019 I've had the pleasure to serve as a judge at the Expo Sweet Cake Competition in Warsaw, Poland.
