Hi there! I'm Eliska, a self-taught cake artist. I started Sucre by Eliska back in 2016 in Singapore as a part-time business, making custom cakes and dessert tables while working full-time as a Product Manager in the IT industry (and I'm also a new mom!).
I love learning new techniques in cake decorating but I realised I won't be able to use all of them. There must be someone else out there who can benefit from such skills. So, I'm starting a series of courses to share the basics of baking as well as cake decorating styles in the hopes that I can help home-bakers and fellow cake artists level up their cake game.
