Design is most powerful when it tells the story of a soul. Introducing The Alma. ✨
Created in collaboration with the incredible Ananis of , this design was born from a desire to capture her vibrant spirit in sugar. In Spanish, Alma means soul, and there is no better word for this creation.
As Ananis so beautifully describes it:
“This cake is the essence of me: sunlit beaches, effortless elegance, and a spirit that cannot be tamed. Like dancing salsa barefoot along the shores of the Dominican Republic, it moves with a rhythm all its own: refined yet wild, vibrant yet grounded. Every layer, every detail, whispers my energy. She’s graceful in appearance but untamed at heart, a true reflection of my soul.”
To ground this untamed elegance and honor her roots, we featured the Bayahibe Rose—the national flower of the Dominican Republic. It is a reminder that even in a smaller 3-tier design, every detail matters and tells a monumental story.
Sharing this sweet moment with a fellow dreamer in this industry is a privilege unlike any other. Thank you, Ananis, for letting me translate your heart and heritage into a cake canvas.
