Buttercream & Sugar Art

For the briefs that call for buttercream or sugar work — commissioned on request. The chocolate signature remains the core craft; these pieces are made when the design genuinely calls for a different medium.

The Craft

When the brief calls for it

Kanya's signature is couverture chocolate. But over the years a small number of cakes have called for buttercream finishes or specific sugar-art elements — a particular floral, a precise piped silhouette, a softness that buttercream offers and chocolate doesn't. These are accepted as commissions, judged on whether the brief is the right fit.

Most weddings and celebrations are still chocolate. But the work below is honest about the full range Kanya can deliver when the brief is right — and where the chocolate-first philosophy bends to the design, not the other way around.

Every medium has its moment. Chocolate just happens to have most of them.
