Artistic and Modern Custom Cakes for Unique Celebrations
I treat every cake as a blank canvas, using palette knives, edible paints, and sugar craft to turn your ideas into edible art. From hand-painted impressionist designs to sharp, trendy vintage piping, here are some of the modern styles I love creating.
This is one of my proudest creations, a two-tiered cake inspired by Claude Monet's "Water Lilies." I hand-painted the fondant canvas in an impressionist style and topped it with a large, handcrafted wafer paper water lily. It was an honor to create this for a prominent art collector's birthday.

The vintage cake trend is here to stay. This one features classic buttercream piping and a custom, hand-piped message: "cute but scorpio." I can create these in any color with your own quirky message.
A perfect gift to accompany a perfect dress. The client sent me a photo of a floral dress, and I used its color palette to create this beautiful, two-tiered buttercream rosette cake.
The cartoon cake trend is so much fun. This one, with its bold black outlines, looks like it jumped right out of a comic book. It's a labor-intensive design, but the cool, 2D effect is worth it.
Art on a cake. This textured buttercream cake in shades of purple and pink was created using a palette knife and paint brush, and is adorned with sugar blossoms, gold leaf, and matching cupcakes.
A masculine and modern textured buttercream cake. I used a palette knife to create this abstract design in shades of blue, black, and teal, and finished it with gold leaf, gold splatter, and gold chocolate spheres.
A velvet-finish heart cake, a trend I'm loving right now. This one was inspired by a photo a client sent and is created using a special cocoa butter spray technique for that soft, velvety texture.
A vintage-style, heart-shaped buttercream cake for a teenager. The design features intricate piping in pink and turquoise and is topped with fun, glittery cherries.

About Artistic & Modern Styles
The secret to that perfect, sharp finish you see in these photos is in the structure. For my fondant and sculpted cakes, I start with a layer of dark chocolate ganache before the covering, which gives those crisp, razor-sharp edges and prevents the fondant from bulging. If you are looking for a specific theme or a hand-painted design, I always start with a concept sketch so we are on the same page before I even turn on the oven.
Turning Your Vision into Edible Art
When I studied at fashion school in New York, I spent a lot of time with art history. I never expected that experience to inform my baking, but today, I use the cake surface as my canvas. Whether it is a two-tier Monet-inspired "Water Lilies" cake or a textured buttercream abstract piece, my goal is to blend visual art with delicious flavors.
Modern Techniques I Use
- Hand-Painting: Using edible watercolor paints, I can recreate specific patterns, floral themes, or even impressionist art directly onto fondant.
- Vintage Piping: This trend is here to stay. Using classic buttercream and intricate shell borders, I can create that nostalgic, retro look with your own custom, quirky messages.
- Textured Buttercream: I use palette knives, similar to those an oil painter would use, to create depth, movement, and abstract textures directly in the frosting.
- 2D Cartoon Cakes: These are labor-intensive but visually striking. By adding bold black outlines to the fondant, I create a flat, 2D comic book effect that looks like it jumped off the page.
Quality You Can Taste
Design is only half the battle. Because I use Callebaut chocolate and fresh fruit compotes, the inside of the cake is just as rich as the outside. For multi-tiered cakes, you are welcome to mix and match flavors for each layer. If you have an inspiration photo or a color palette from a dress or decor theme, send it over. We will talk through the design, and I will handle the structural details to ensure your cake looks perfect from the first photo to the last slice.
