THE ARTIST

Hi, I’m Karen.

Cake artist, edible art enthusiast, and the person behind Piece of Work.

I’ve been doing this for over 10 years, which is funny because this was never actually the career I planned for myself. It kind of just… happened. The stars aligned, I followed the path, and somehow cake kept finding me.

There were even a couple of moments when I thought I was done with it altogether, and somehow the stars aligned again and pulled me right back in. At this point, I’ve accepted that apparently this is what I’m supposed to be doing.

My style is playful, artistic, a little unexpected, and always made with the person behind the celebration in mind. I like taking an idea, a personality, or even a weird little reference and figuring out how to make it edible.

Piece of Work is where art gets a little more playful — because yes, you’re absolutely supposed to eat it.
