I create bold, detailed cupcake art using vintage-inspired piping, playful color, and ideas that feel a little unexpected.
From custom orders and celebrations to brand collaborations, content, and creative projects, I turn each idea into an original cupcake design.
Based in Philadelphia and available for select projects.
