Intention Statement

Embracing beauty in imperfection

  • Each cake is designed for the artistic journey and experience to be earned. I design cakes for the quality in taste and artistry; not necessarily for the quantity. Sometimes less is more.

  • I take on projects that align the most with my artistic style, vision and abilities; hence, I may reject certain projects that do not match my vision. I work best within my limits and capabilities as an artist!

  • Each cake is unique and different, because each couple is different. I provide a balance between what is trendy versus, what is unique. Behind each cake design, there is intentional planning and collaboration between artist and client.

  • Cake design is a journey. I work closely with clients to find the right design, and make it enjoyable and effortless. Creating art is a journey with many lessons and experienced to be earned.
