Beyond Cake Art

Welcome to Beyond Cake Art

Hi, I’m Alex and welcome to the blog.

For over 15 years I’ve been making celebration cakes alongside my work as a professional chef. What started as a hobby slowly turned into something much bigger. Over the years I’ve created cakes for birthdays, communions, weddings, special occasions and and everything in between.

Some cakes are simple and elegant. Others are unusual, slightly crazy and sometimes a bit challenging to pull off. But that’s exactly what I love about cake decorating, every cake tells a story and comes with its own creative puzzle to solve.

Up until now, most of cakes have only lived on social media. A quick photo posted online and onto another cake. But there is always much more going one behind the scenes, the design ideas, the trial and error, the structure inside the cake, and sometimes the small disasters that turn into lessons.

This blog is a place where i want to share more of that process.

Here you’ll find ‘The stories behind some of the cakes I made.

• The more unusual or challenging designs
• Some of my favourite sponges and cream recipes
• Other baked treats I enjoy making
• Festive and seasonal treats/cakes id like to share with you
• Tips and things I’ve learned over the years

Cake decorating is a mix of creativity, patience, and a bit of engineering. A cake might look simple on the outside, but there’s often a lot going on underneath make sure it tasts gret and holds together properly.

I hope this blog gives you a small look into that world.

If you enjoy cake decorating, baking, or just seeing how it all comes together, youve in the right place.

Thanks for being here.

Alex
