One of the most rewarding parts of being a cake designer is the trust my clients place in me to bring their visions to life. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with a client who reminded me just how magical that trust can be.
This customer came to me with a request for a custom cake and shared a few reference pictures to convey the vibe they were looking for. They made it clear they were open to my creative interpretation and wanted the cake to reflect my artistic style. While they provided some guidance, they ultimately left the design in my hands, expressing confidence in my ability to create something special.
Even when clients share inspiration images, I see them as a starting point rather than a blueprint. Every cake I design carries my personal artistic expression, and that individuality is something I strive to bring to each project. That’s why I encourage anyone looking for a custom cake to explore a designer’s portfolio to ensure their work aligns with your vision. My Instagram and website serve as a window into my style, but at pop-ups, I also bring along a physical portfolio filled with cakes that may not be featured online.
When the day arrived, I delivered the cake, and the customer’s reaction was unforgettable. As soon as they saw it, their excitement was palpable—they couldn’t stop smiling, and they told me how thrilled they were with the result. Then, much to my surprise, they gave me a heartfelt hug. It was clear they were overjoyed, and knowing they trusted me to create something beautiful made the moment even more meaningful.
This experience reinforced just how important it is to build trust with clients. When there’s confidence in the designer’s vision and skills, the result is something truly unique and personal—an edible work of art that goes beyond expectations.
To anyone considering a custom cake, I encourage you to take a look at a designer’s previous work, whether online or in person. Trust and collaboration are the keys to creating something extraordinary.
To my amazing customers: thank you for letting me be part of your special moments. Your smiles, kind words, and yes, even hugs, are what inspire me every day.
