About Your Memories, Hand-Painted in Buttercream
Because we work exclusively with buttercream rather than fondant, our illustrations have a soft, creamy texture that tastes as good as it looks. Whether you want a sunset landscape or a character from your favorite anime, we pipe and palette-knife the details directly onto the cake surface. For 1kg cakes, we need a smooth base, so let us know your vision early so we can plan the right frosting consistency for your design.
Our approach to cake decorating is simple. We believe buttercream should be the star. By avoiding fondant, we ensure every slice is creamy, rich, and delicious. Our hand-painted cakes are a labor of love, requiring steady hands and patience.
How we create these designs
We use palette knives and fine-tip piping bags to create textures and gradients, much like an oil painting.
Can you paint anything?
We specialize in characters, landscapes, and custom portraits. Since this is hand-painted, we recommend using clear, bold references for the best results.
What flavors work best?
Our hand-painted cakes require a stable frosting surface, so we often suggest chocolate truffle or vanilla bean as the base to hold the design perfectly.
How to order
Send us a clear reference image. The more detail you want, the more time we need, so please reach out a few days before your celebration to secure your spot.
