A wedding cake artist is someone who creates a design for the wedding cake, bakes and decorates it according to the bride and groom's wishes. They can be self-employed, a restaurant, or even a wedding planner. Cakes have become highly criticised art forms today, and bakers are almost always well-trained artists. They use techniques like sculpting and painting with frosting as they create the cake, often including themes, images, and messages relevant to both the wedding couple and the wedding party.
