Mother Nature 3Rd Place-Cakeshow Istanbul 2016

On Cake Show Istanbul 2016 my sugarwork “Mother Nature” was awarded with a bronze medal- became 3rd in pro category of small showpiece. Love to send my love and thousand thanks to my supporting family and friends. I felt amazing just to be in the same room with the cake show jurors; Robert Hayes, Marta Torres, Laura Saporiti, Berna Garcia, Yeşim Erol, Nilay Bektaş Mağralı, Kadir Kantar, Deniz Orhun. ;D

The composition is telling the story of mother nature’s gift of creation/giving birth moment. The delicate wafer paper bugs and insects symbolizes purity of a new born creature. This technique is inspired from paper cutting method and the amazing sugar artist Karen Portaleo. She creates all; the terrain, foliage, water and life…

*I would love to take a moment to thank my sugarart mentors Duygu Tuğcu and Liz Marek. Thanks a million for the encouragement. ;D
