Behind a cake that makes a whole party gasp, there is usually someone like Simone Clarke. As owner, baker and cake decorator of The Icing Artist, she runs a bespoke cake studio from 10a Locinda Street, Highett, creating custom designs for birthdays, weddings, corporate events, cafés, cookies and cupcakes. The studio was established in 2015, and Simone is happy to cater for special occasions wherever you are in Melbourne.

From a decorator's bench to London
Simone began her baking and decorating career many years ago. After four years as a decorator, at 24, she had the chance to buy her own franchise, and learned the business side along the way. Four years later she sold the business and headed to London, where she worked at a popular cake company and fell in love with the art of sugarcraft, working alongside and learning from some of the best sugar artists in the business. Now back in Melbourne, she brings those skills to Bayside, and her passion is plain: creating bespoke cakes that give each celebration an individual touch.
Cakes for every occasion
The Icing Artist's website says it specialises in cakes of all shapes and sizes, and in cupcake arrangements customised to your design and quantity. Whether it is a birthday, a wedding or a special event, the studio says it can create a custom design tailored to your needs, and invites customers to get in touch to discuss ideas.

What customers say
Customer comments published on the studio's website are glowing. One customer, Jess, says a birthday cake was "oh so totally well received", and adds that "we remember every birthday with what cake you made". Another, Jeanine, says of her cake that "young and old were so impressed", while John describes a character cake as "absolutely amazing" and "just perfect".
