The Atelier


David painting gold leaf onto a cake

The craft

Trained as an artist, devoted to the oven.

Each commission begins as a pencil sketch and ends as an edible sculpture — finished with sugar flowers and gold leaf, built tier by tier in the atelier.

How a commission unfolds

From conversation to canvas

01

Consult

We meet — in person or over a call — and talk about your celebration, your guests and the feeling you want the cake to carry.

02

Sketch

David translates the conversation into a hand-drawn design: tiers, palette, textures and the sugar details.

03

Create

Baked from scratch, filled, sculpted and finished by hand over several days. Every piece is one of one.

Every detail, by hand

No moulds. No shortcuts. No two alike.

Sugar flowers are petal-veined one at a time; every figure is modelled freehand. If you can dream it, it can be built — and eaten.
