We are so proud to be a sponsor of this amazing collaboration! It’s a honour to see how many amazing artists are using Saracino products!

Steam Cakes is an international collaboration bringing together 92 talented cake artists from all around the world to amaze you with their edible art and celebrate Steampunk’s International Day, 14th June.

Steampunk is my signature style and last year I decided to run a collaboration under this theme just for fun. It was very successful, we had fantastic feedback from the audience and there were a lot of people asking if they could integrate a new edition of the collaboration, so I decided to move on to the 2018 edition.

We can see all kinds of pieces: structure, modeling, busts, animals, wedding cakes, bags and shoes and even cookies allusive to the theme. All the creations can be viewed HERE

Hope you like it! Thank you! Obrigada!

CAKE CON INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

CAKE CON INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

Jun 6, 2018 | Collaboration

Cake Con International Collaboration

by Saracino

 

Cake Con Collaboration was formed by Mayra Prado Estrada & Cassandra Rice in 2015.
Our theme was inspired by San Diego Comic Con which is the World’s largest held comic conventions yearly in California. Our pieces are inspired by the multi genre characters known at SDCC, which are comics, gaming characters and popular TV series. In 2017 & 2018, Jennifer Holst, our Foreign Regional Manager organised a wonderful Exhibit booth at the Cake & Bake Germany in Dortmund displaying some of the amazing pieces by the talented cake / sugar artists.
In 2017 Cake Con International was nominated as a finalist for Cake Masters Collaboration Awards. We didn’t win but thank all those who voted for us and look forward to 2018!
Cake Con International made its first debut in 2018 with a display booth at Wonder Con which is the sister convention to SDCC, in Anaheim, CA. It was amazing to be able to display our edible art at an actual comic convention and look forward to branching out to participate in other comic conventions as well.
Our collaboration consists of approximately 60 – 65 talented cake / sugar artist from around the world. It is by invitation only and we select new talent yearly. We have formed some amazing friendships worldwide and are thankful for all the talented artists for their amazing contributions. Without them, Cake Con International would not be possible.
