Floral Cake Design: Craft Edible Art

Cynthia Irani is a contemporary cake designer and artist based in Montreal, Canada. Growing up in a creative household meant she was exposed to a variety of crafts from a young age. She painted murals at school and went on to study graphic design at university, minoring in fine art. Cynthia then worked in the tech industry and product design for 15 years for clients including Yellow Pages Canada, OneOcean Group, and Shopify.

After baking a cake in celebration of the birth of her first child, and sharing it on Instagram, her career in cake decoration began. Since then, Cynthia has become known for her free-flowing petals and the muted, neutral designs which she creates and shares with over 100K followers on Instagram. Her work has also been featured in publications including Cake Masters Magazine and 100 Layer Cakes.
