BB's Best Cakes

 

            I have been making cakes for over five years, and I absolutely love it! The idea of combining cake, sugar, and art started as a hobby, but very quickly I began receiving orders. I always used to enjoy helping my mother bake cookies when I was younger, and I suppose the enjoyment turned into a crazy passion for making art out of cake and sugar! I added many cookbooks and cake design books to my library; and soon enough, I was coming up with my own ideas and insights—BB’s Best Cakes began.

            I’ve had many interesting orders (please see the ‘Gallery’ section of the website), and the best part is working with people to develop an idea that best suits exactly what they are looking for. There are no guidelines or rules when it comes to requests for these edible displays, and imagination is always key. I have learned so much from myself very quickly since I began this creative, delicious art form; the fact that practice leads to perfect is incredibly true, as practice is always happening and the learning never ends.

            Whether I’m making silk, building a brick wall, or creating precious stones out of sugar, I made a promise to myself that I would only ever work with good quality, edible materials. As a child, I found the plastic figurines to be no fun at all—why place something on a cake if you can’t eat it?! But now that I’ve taken on the role of 'sugar cake fairy', the real reward is the surprised recipient. I smile when they say, “I can’t possibly eat this”, with wonder and disbelief, because the reply of, “Oh, but you can!”, is always truly, deeply cherished.

Sincerely,

Bianca Josie
