It brings great joy to deliver a beautiful cake to my client! I've learned so much since I opened my custom cake shop in 2009! I'm now seeking inspiration of how to continue this creative art form. Opening a cake boutique is too risky right now so I'm exploring other options for @thecakedivamn. Thanks to @zm_fotography for these amazing photos!

Every story has a beginning and here is mine. I graduated from culinary school with a Baking and Pastry Certificate from The Art Institutes International Minnesota in 2005 and the cake decorating class was by far my favorite! The 1st pix I posted here is the very first fondant cake design I created for said class which received 2nd place award at the Oklahoma Sugar Art Show. I was pretty proud of this cake which was a labor of love in creating the sugar bow, numerous sugar roses and filler flowers to covering the cake in fondant with fondant lace border. Following culinary school, I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my new certificate, so I worked as a Pastry Chef for local Minneapolis restaurants and bakeries. In 2007, I jumped at the chance to enter a local chocolate competition with a 3 tier Chocolate Cake wrapped in a Minuet 🎶and Shakespearean quote, "If music be the food of love, play on." All of the details on the chocolate buttercream cake were handmade including the chocolate treble and bass clef on top with sugar staff and the handpiped music notes and chocolate wrap around each tier. (2nd pix) Needless to say, I was so excited about what I was able to achieve that I decided to devote my career to designing and decorating cakes. And I'm so happy I did!!! In the 3rd photo I am standing in an event space which showcased my work as The Cake Diva. One never knows where a new adventure will twist and weave, how much you will learn and grow, nor how much you and your direction will change. It's an adventure, after all, and I am as smitten today as I was in 2009 when I took my few order! Ask me a question, share which cake you see here on social media that inspire you, or tell me a fun fact about a cake I have made for you! The very best thing about being The Cake Diva is the incredible people I have had the pleasure to serve. Thanks for sharing this adventure with me!!! #oklahomasugarartshow #theartinstitutes #culinaryarts #cakedesigner #sugarart #creativecakes #creatingmemories #careerasachef #pastrychef #mystoryasachef #mystory #minneapoliscakes #minneapolis #glutenfree #3Dcakes #sculptedcakes (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3UdyoH-ji/?igshid=hdtox5zwqpd2

Mentally stoked about Halloween in a week!!! Which cake excites you - gory Dexter foot or a fluffy monster? 🧟‍♂️👻 I LOVE designing gory cakes - it's the creepy details that I rarely get to think about, I guess! #dexterfoot #gorycakes #halloweencake #monstercake #cakeart #minneapoliscakes #glutenfree #birthdaycake #specialtycakes #isitreal #edibleart (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsEEpnnMyq/?igshid=1rgj6yu0nqds4

Everything is edible on this custom #ChanelCake including the #gumpasteshoe and #gumpasteroses. It was a special centerpiece for this client's 50th birthday party which is referenced in the printed sugar label on the top tier.

I have to admit....I'm pretty proud of my cake artistry but it has taken years including a very difficult autoimmune health battle to see my progress - both in myself and my work! I've been designing cakes since 2009, and have learned a great deal about myself as a Pastry Chef, as a woman-owned business and entrepreneur, and as a human being. I have grown from a meek, unsure person who couldn't receive a single compliment, to a strong, happy, proud and resilient woman. It's very rare for me to share about myself because I was wired to be quiet, listen, and learn and bury whatever feelings I had. I'm thrilled to shine in my 50's and know that this journey will only get better because that's exactly what I want! Cheers to all of you who are creating change in yourself and in the world! We choose our future each day, and mine includes creating beautiful memories for those celebrating life with cake! #enjoythejourney #cakeartist #positivity #entrepreneur #creativecakes #creatingmemories #liveyourbestlife #lifeisbeautiful #chooselove #choosejoy #loveyourself #wecanchangetheworld #babytrumpcake #trumpcake #cakedesigner #minneapoliscakes #joedispenza #mindset #dowhatyoulove #findyourself #createyourlife #womeninbusiness #strongwomen #womenentrepreneurs (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQPcUinNqU/?igshid=1q35cjjs30ptd

This custom Ford Bronco cake was a big hit for the Groom! He was so surprised by the special gift, he couldn't think about cutting it for months (it may still be in the freezer!!!😂) Cake art creates lasting memories!

My client recently raved about this Chicago Bean cake I created. It's a delight to hear from happy customers!!!! "AMAZING CREATION!! Cake Diva designed this beautiful cake of the Chicago Millenium Bean for “The Bean” themed baby shower for our son and daughter-in-law from Chicago. It was the hit of the shower! Cake Diva was wonderful to work with and exceeded all of our expectations with her skill and creativity! It was almost too fun to cut into so we saved it for my husbands 70th celebration the next day. But clearly once we cut into it and tasted the delicious butter cream cake and strawberry infused frosting, we made short work of cleaning it to the bones. Can’t wait to have another occasion to order a Cake Diva creation!" Thank you, Marilyn!
