ABOUT

Helena is Passionate.
Passionate about love and all its forms.
As a contemporary cake artist she loves pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box.

She was born in Portugal, and worked 15 years as an Industrial Engineer, where she also could play with her creativity, designing products and tools of her own, that could enhance her work around the cake art.

After a life-changing 2018, Helena decided she could not escape from art whatsoever anymore.
She is now in her happy place.

She has become more enthusiastic with her soul work, working with her heart, closing her eyes so she could see… and bringing to life amazing art forms, that somehow, we call cake.

In just 6 months, she flew 4 continents, teaching her avant-garde form of art.

Dubai, Barcelona, Jordan, the United States, and Nigeria are some of the countries she has visited, and where she shared her knowledge.

At the present moment, she dedicates most of her time researching for new edible materials, and teaching at her studio, in Vila Nova de Gaia, online, and also in schools In Portugal and worldwide.
