About the Author
Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes is a multi award winning cake company based in London. Founded in June 2011, the company is headed by Cake Artists and bestfriends, Valeri and Christina. It was by a sweet accident that these ladies discovered their passion and talent. On Mother's Day 2011, these ladies wanted to give their two friends whom they consider their "second-mums" something special but not expensive and decided to just bake for them. They scoured the internet and stumbled on a tutorial about making a Sunflower Cupcake using a ziploc-bag improvise. This was when they first fell in love with buttercream, piping different flowers and so they never stopped since.
Renowned globally for their edible works of art using nothing else but BUTTERCREAM as their decorating medium, Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes has been featured in numerous well known wedding and food blogs, local and international news, magazines, appeared in TV Shows and showcased their masterpieces as well as demonstrated on some of UK's big exhibitions ... The National Wedding Show, The Cake International Show, The Cake & Bake Show, Squires Annual Sugarcraft Exhibition, Victoria & Albert Museum and Experimental Food Society - Food Spectacular to name a few and other international Cake Shows.
Valeri and Christina take immense pride in their mastery of BUTTERCREAM ART and this makes Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes exclusive in London area and one of the very few who specializes in the same kind in the whole of UK and probably around the world as well. Their goal is to revive and modernize this age-old art and this reflects on their creations. They have also won several awards in various prestigious cake competitions in the country.
Following unprecedented demand for tutorial and courses, 2012 marked the launch of our Master Classes. Valeri and Christina have finally opened their kitchen to share the skills they excel in to other people. They hold classes in Europe, U.S.A. and Asia that suit a variety of proficiency levels.
Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes promises Elegance ... Originality ... Sophistication ... Quality ... PERFECTION.
