From the page to the table

Krishma draws every cake by hand first. Palette, textures, where each element sits, all settled on paper. It is why the cake that arrives looks like the one you were shown.

  1. I The idea
    Krishma sketching a cake design in a notebook at her studio table

    A conversation, a venue, a guest number and a child's favourite book. It starts on paper.

  2. II The drawing
    Hand drawn concept sketch for a Peter Rabbit garden first birthday cake, annotated with colour palette, textures and construction notes View larger

    Peter Rabbit garden, first birthday. Six colours pinned down, textures specified, every balloon and carrot placed before a single tier is baked.

  3. III The cake
    The finished two tier first birthday cake with hand painted Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck, a sugar balloon garland and the name Aikam

    Hand painted characters, a balloon garland built in sugar, and the name where the drawing said it would be.
