Hello my name is Victoria Ryan of Cake Designs By Victoria . I have always had a love for Art and Baking for as long as I can remember .

I was a painter for 20 years and walls and where my medium. After an illness I was left with no outlet for my creativity. That was until one day I went to a party and saw my first cake pop ! I went home and that night I started my journey in making Sweets my new medium ( that was about 4 years ago ) I started off with pops and my love for baking and Art quickly grew . I’ve ventured into cake about 2 years ago. While I still make all sorts of sweets, Cake is my true love !!! I hope to learn and grow in this new wonderful world Sugar .

The Book I chose is Salem’s Lot . Stephen King is the best horror story writer of all time ! He has been scaring me for over 3 decades an I can’t wait to be scared some more ! Happy Birthday King of Horror !!
My piece, Salem’s Lot…. I chose to focus on the tree because of all its twist and turns just like Stephens stories .

Behind the piece:
The painting in the background is done with soft gel food coloring on a sugar sheets . The house is gum paste covered in wafer paper, painted with gels and glued together and to the board with isomalt. Face is a sketch done in food markers on wafer paper. My crowing jewel is my tree . I am in love with all the texture. It has a rice crispy base covered in 50/50 mix of fondant and gum paste with wire armature. Board is covered in chocolate and modeling chocolate.

I hope you enjoy my work as well as all the amazing work by everyone in this collaboration.
