About

Hello!

Hi! I'm Deepa, an award-winning cake artist from Louisville, KY (U.S.A.) and creator of D's sweet creations. I specialize in custom cakes and enjoy the experience of starting a cake with an idea, a concept or just a thought and ending up with a beautiful, realistic, inspiring & deliciously edible work of art.

​

I absolutely love to see my cakes take a form that shows more than just a layer of icing or cream. My cakes should always tell a story. I take pride in sharing that my cakes are always custom made to request and have been the center piece of many birthdays, graduations, and family events.

I have always been avid art student from my school days, and completed my bachelor’s degree in Commercial Art. My brush with Cake art started in 2017 with my daughter’s birthday cake. That was my first ever experience working with Fondant and where my love with Cake Art began. My first cake competition was only in 2017 where I stood first and from that moment there has been no looking back. Since then I have successfully participated and won in National and International competitions, and been a part of many international collaborations.  I have also been published in prestigious cake art magazines and online blogs. Most recently I have been nominated as finalist for “Rising Star U.S.A.” in American Cake Awards.

​

I’m constantly learning and experimenting with newer techniques to push myself and make each of my cake the best it can be. Other than cake, I also like canvas and glass paintings and practice my sculpting skills. In fact, sculpting is the most that I like doing recently as I can apply the learnings on my bust cakes. I enjoy making bust cakes and find peace in expressing the subtleness of human emotions. My cake, the face, the eyes, the wrinkles, and the emotion need not be written or explained, it should be felt like a moment frozen in time. My cakes should always speak for themselves and for me they are an expression of emotion.

 

Have a look at my edible art gallery to see some of my recent and most favorite work. I hope you like them too!
