Boho Festival Cupcakes

Milka is 37 years old, married

and based in Munich, Germany.

By day, she works as a marketing

and campaign manager, by

night, her heart beats for sugar

art. When she fell in love with

sugar art in 2014, she also found

her perfect canvas! Milka was

always passionate about art and

in 2016, she entered her first

competition and was awarded

a bronze medal. Along with

being involved in numerous

worldwide cake collaborations,

in 2019, she went on to host the

scarily amazing Americake Horror

Story collaboration which was

nominated for a prestigious Cake

Masters Award and also named

as one of Global Sugar Artists’

favourite collaborations of the

year! Milka’s classes, whether it be

at shows or closer to home, are

always a fun and crazy experience.

Step 1.
Buttercream the tops of all cupcakes and
then colour 30g of white fondant with
a drop of skin gel. Cut with a cutter and
attach on top of the cupcake.

Step 2.
For the hair, colour fondant with black
gel. Roll and cut a circle the same size,
cut the middle out and attach. Add
texture using a dresden tool. Insert two
balls of black fondant for the eyes and
a skin coloured ball for the nose. For
the eyebrows, roll two strands of black
fondant and stick.

Steps 3a & b.
Colour white fondant with turquoise,
purple and mixed red and ruby. Roll into
strips until no seams are visible. Cut into
two pieces, put next to each other and
roll over again.
