When I was a cartoonist creating layouts and storyboards, I never thought I would end up becoming a pastry chef.
But the minute I tried chocolate molding, something woke up in me. I've always had a passion for modeling when I studied fine arts, and in fact it's the same thing I do now, but with edible materials.
I think my academic background in drawing and art in general is reflected in my creations. My passion for modeling pushes me to learn and improve as a cake artist.
I started my career in May 2016 by joining all types of sugar modeling to improve my cake decorating skills. A year later, I was asked to teach all over the world, some of the countries where I share my knowledge: USA, Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Portugal, Australia, UK, Turkey, China, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Switzerland.
My work has received a number of awards: Cake Artist of the Year Award, Cake Masters Magazine 2019, Sculpted Cake Award, Cake Masters Magazine 2018,
First Prize and Gold at Collaboration Australia 2017, Silver at Cake International 2017.
And my creations have been featured in the prestigious Cake Masters Magazine, American Cake Decorating, Daily Mail.
I love what I do and my desire for the future is to continue to study and teach my passion for cake modeling and decorating.
