Award-Winning Cake Art and Competition Pieces

It was a thrill just to be named a finalist for the Modelling Award at the Indian Cake Awards 2024. Being recognized among so many talented artists was an incredible experience.

So excited to have won 1st place in the Decorative Cupcakes category at Cakeology Bengaluru 2024. My 'Indian Market' themed entry was a true labor of love.

A rotating view of my 'Tangled Under Water' competition piece. This shows the dynamic, gravity-defying pose of the mermaid and the flowing movement in her hair and tail, all crafted from sugar.

A close-up of the mermaid's face from my competition piece. I spent a lot of time painting her expressive eyes and adding delicate details like the blush on her cheeks and the shimmer on her skin.

Another angle of the 'Tangled Under Water' scene, showing the mermaid reaching for the glowing jellyfish. The entire piece is balanced to create a sense of movement and wonder.

Detail shot of the mermaid's tail. I used wafer paper and hand-piped royal icing to create the delicate, translucent fins and floral embellishments.

A slightly different close-up of the mermaid's face, highlighting the hand-painted details and the flowing sugar-paste hair.

Part two of my cookie competition entry, showing the final assembly. I carefully placed the floral arrangements, the lit diyas, the musicians, and finally the dancer to create this 3D Bharatanatyam dance stage made entirely of cookies.

The final competition piece, a 3D cookie art display depicting a Bharatanatyam Arangetram. Though I didn't win, I'm incredibly proud of the final result and the techniques I learned while creating it.
