Edible Art

Art is using a certain medium as a means for self expression. For me that medium is edible art. Edible art is a skill I have spent the past 10 years developing. It is an extension of who I am. As a cake artist I love experimenting with different textures and mediums and unconventional structures no doubt influenced by my engineering background. When making designs I try to find the overlap between myself and the client so that my work reflects me and ultimately is personal and authentic to the client as well. With cake art it's not just about you as an artist, it's also getting to know the individual and bringing their vision to life.

Design Process

It's all about understanding the individual, during the consultation I ask about the venue, the theme, how they feel about different color palettes and most importantly I try to understand their personality because for me once I understand you then half the work is done. I then come up with a 2D representation that I feel portrays the client's vision considering things like weather, the location, the duration of the event, number of guests, and their budget. Some designs are better expressed with a CAD tool while some with a hand sketch. Whichever way it's represented it is important that the client gets a final product that is as close to the initial sketch as possible.

Below are a few designs I have worked on, showing the final product, the initial sketch and the structural support sketch.
