Charmaine Jones, Owner of Cakediva was very candid and funny sharing her personal experiences about how she began her celebrity custom cake business and the difficulties encountered in trying to stay on top of the pack. Charmaine is a trailblazer—the first to create afrocentric and ethnic cake designs that spoke to people of African, Latino, and Asian heritage.
Charmaine gave lots of tips and hints, including but not limited to, the products she uses, her personal experience of copyright infringement and issues to consider when our cakes or sugarcraft works are photographed by a third party. Her frank discussion of the behind the scenes of the Food Network Cake Challenges was an eye opener.
Charmaine and extern Marianna demonstrated the beautiful basket of flowers cake shown. The stunning floral display is primarily composed of fondant flowers with accents of buttercream lilacs and lily of the valley.
