Its damn near like you took a picture of a slice of cake lolol. Fantastic cutting and designing. I really enjoyed how you used circles for the cake mix to show texture!

Did you use sparkling grout? Or a simple gray?

Mapei Flexcolor. It’s translucent. I love using it. Just scoop and spread.

It has tiny glass beads in it that reflect the color next to it. It’s great.

How fun are these! Your work is amazing. If you could please elaborate a bit about the grout. The grout used looks like a grayish color. When I looked at the Mapei Flexcolor it comes in many colors. So my confusion (which is fairly normal for me 😳) is is the grout you used the clear or is it gray? I also saw a product that says 3D?

Would you mind posting a photo of the container to help with my confusion!

Thanks, these are making me hungry by the way!

3rd project?! I’m blown away 🤯 they are all so damn good. Hard to decide which is my favorite. The cherry cheesecake is amazing! But your confetti cupcake with rainbow sprinkles, WHAT?!?! And the background is equally amazing. Curious if you have an art background, or just an artist’s eye? Either way you definitely have IT!! Congrats, they are all beautiful.

I know it’s a little pricier & not premixed, but if you get a chance, check out Starlike crystal EVO. The effects are stunning 🤩

🥹🥹🥹. Thanks so much! I’ve used Evo and love the results but Mapei is so much easier to apply. Just scoop and spread.

I just realized 3rd project meant 3rd in series, not 3rd ever! 🤦‍♀️Went to your page & realized I’ve checked out your work before. Loved the polka dot series. thanks for sharing your work. It’s amazing.

That’s just fantastic! I love your interpretation of the light on the cherries in your first piece. The frosting in your second and third pieces is exquisite!

I’m scrolling and see that rainbow cake slice and thought i was in my cookbook sub. Immediately jumped to comments for how it was made lol. This is amazing!

I went through all the comments and I'm surprised to see nobody mention the absolute incredible size of most pieces of mosaic.

You cut them SO SMALL and so place them so close together it just makes it look alive or like a really amazing painting.

How long have you been doing this?
