“Finding your style” as a cake designer can be a very complex task…
This can be specifically overwhelming if you’re thinking of this as a destination and not a journey! Let me explain…
Finding your own unique cake decorating style isn’t a specific moment in time that you arrive at. Your cake style should always be growing and changing as you grow and change.
It is a journey!! And a life-long process!!
The process of discovering your own cake style should be more important than the outcome, and all you need to do is focus on picking up little design decisions, stylistic nuances, and inspirations here and there to add to your repertoire.
If you do not know where to start, scroll through Pinterest, find a cake you are obsessed with a recreate it! You will learn a lot while trying to figure out the right materials, techniques, and proportions and you’ll find your own ways of doing certain styles.
My latest obsession is these Metallic Wedding Cakes That Make a Statement.
You know that excitement when you have a new crush?? That’s what these are for me! I can’t wait to play with all the dark moody colors and cover everything with layers of metallic dusts.
And when we are able to fully engage in the play of cake decorating and turn off our minds for a moment, THAT’S when we can truly discover and develop our unique cake style!
It’s not when we’re busy looking at other people’s work on Instagram and worrying that we are never good enough.
I want to encourage you to play! Try new things. Explore new techniques and materials and see what happens.
