Cake Decorating

With over 18 years of experience in cake decorating and food styling, I specialize in creating visually compelling edible art for editorial, educational, and promotional content. My work has been featured on the cover of Cake Masters Magazine, in multiple Wilton publications, and in two issues of Cake Central Magazine as well as the Cake Central Adore publication. Known for combining strong technical decorating skills with thoughtful styling and composition, my work has also been recognized with a Food Stylist Award nomination from the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP).
