The cakes are the work of Highland Bakery, based in Atlanta, Georgia. The team of bakers is headed by Karen Portaleo, a former clay sculptor, She said: “When a client comes in I try and get a feel for their event and what they want – normally they are trying to tell a story about themselves.
I try not to take much longer than two days because the cake has to be tasty and fresh. If it’s a really complex cake then we will work through the night to keep it moist…”
