Zoe is one of my very favourite cake artists out there. Her cakes and cake toppers are alive! Look into the eyes of any of her characters and embrace the mischievous twinkle of a sweet little critter just ready to scamper away before you blow out the candles and start slicing. Notice the perfect imperfection of a well-placed freckle. What Zoe truly understands is that the best cake art is all in the details. It is by understanding the language of creation that she is able to articulate her ideas into such striking work. Dive in head first and see how she uses the materials, tools and techniques to create dynamic cake toppers. Look closely and understand how Zoe uses colour and texture to bring her cake toppers to life.
