The Island, a Story of Pirates

Organized by: Sugar Mad Group and Daniela Cabrera Godinez

Sugar Mad group invited me once more to be part of one of their cake collaborations for 2021. The Island, a Story of Pirates. I decided to do something different from the old grumpy and ugly pirate or a sexy pirate woman or parrots and treasures. I went for the ultimate play game for kids, let´s play pirates!

Se I chose these three kids, playing with their stuffed animals, plastic swords, inside their bathtub as a boat and using a bedsheet as a sail.

The result was beyond cute, I am very happy with it and I have to thank the Sugar Mad group and Daniela Cabrera for the opportunity.

Portugal Wonders in Sugar

Organized by: Elisabete Caseiro

It is a great honor for me to be able to participate in this international cake collaboration that celebrates the wonderful culture of this country that I consider my second home.

The Caretos de Podence, originates from the village of Podence, and had recently been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO

They are a very old festival, Podence’s Caretos represent devilish and mysterious images that go out into the street during the carnival festivities. They are noisy and cheating, frantic touching the rattles well crossed on their colored fringes of thick blankets. They fasten rattles and bells around their waists and, full of energy, they run through the village jumping and screaming. One of the main reasons for running around is finding girls to dance with and “rattle” them. So, they have fun, protected by anonymity. I really like the pagan traditions that are still strong within the culture of a country and my way of celebrating was to create this piece in sugar paste and modeling paste, full of color and texture. Thank you Elisabete for this opportunity

COLOMBIA dulce por descubrir

Organized by: Àngel Torres and Judy Torres Bernal

A tribute to Colombia by cake artists using edible mediums to celebrate this colorful country.

My piece was inspired by the Joropo dance, typical of both my country Venezuela and Colombia. This cake collaboration was very close to home as my mother was born in Venezuela but raised in Colombia and I still have close family there I used to spend many of my summers there too. Also, it is my brother’s country and we are neighbors and it is more of what we have in common than what separates us, that is why I decided to do this piece to celebrate what unites us.

Tribal Culture around the world TCC Collaboration

Organized by: Aaisha Sumbul and The Cake Collective

Many of you might not know, but I lived in Alaska when I was 16 years old. I learned English as an exchange student and I spent a year studying in Anchorage, Alaska. At that time we had the opportunity to travel inside the state and I went to Barrow, the northern town in Alaska closest to the North Pole. There I had the opportunity to spend a weekend with an Eskimo family. Barrow or Utqiagvik, known to the locals has been home to the Iñupiat, an Indigenous Inuit ethnic group. There I saw some of their traditions and dances and had the opportunity to eat whales. People who live there have survived largely by hunting whales, seals, polar bears, walrus, waterfowl, caribou, and catching fish from the Arctic Ocean or nearby rivers and lakes. Archaeological sites in the area indicate the Inupiat lived in this area as far back as 500 AD.So this is why I chose this tribe.

Please check out the amazing work of more than 90 cake artists in this cake collaboration.

Italy International Cake Show
September 2022

This year I had the opportunity to participate in my first in-person cake competition. The Italy International Cake Show was held in Rome last September and it was the best opportunity to meet and greet my fellow cake artists that have been my online company for so long and to showcase my work participating in the Small exhibit category.

I was so thrilled to have won a silver award in my category and bring this diploma home.

My piece was dedicated to Autumn, my favorite season, and to my sugar paste dolls.
