Natasja Sadi's Passion for Flowers
After spending twenty years of her career designing wedding gowns, her creativity and passions shifted towards baking and designing cakes, which she creates in her work studio, Cake Atelier Amsterdam. Natasja is known for her passion for flowers, and it is something she doesn't mind showing in her cake designs. Her specialty is sugar flowers, which are created through a special technique of molding gum paste into flowers that resemble the real thing eerily closely.
Cake Atelier Amsterdam's Famous Sugar Flowers
Since its founding, Cake Atelier Amsterdam has been dedicated to transforming everyday sugar into extraordinary, lifelike flowers, capturing their beauty not only on cakes but also through photography that can be cherished over time. Through the careful handcrafting of each petal, as well as sharing expertise via workshops and books, the atelier inspires others to discover the joy of creating and preserving beauty. At its core, Natasja believes in the power of art to connect people to nature and to one another, making the world a little sweeter, one flower at a time.
The process behind the art
She says:
"Flowers have always triggered my senses like nothing else; engaging sight, smell, and sometimes even taste all at the same time. I believe it’s these senses that help us build lasting memories of the important moments in our lives, the moments we want to celebrate. Therefore, my cakes are never complete without sugar flowers. With the cake serving as the ‘grand piece’ to mark a special occasion, my sugar flowers become sweet mementos that can be displayed and treasured forever."
Floral Art That Has Been Seen All Over the World
Flowers are such an essential part of her life that every Saturday, she goes to the local market in Amsterdam to buy flowers and transforms them into floral arrangements that rival the masterpieces of the old Dutch Masters' still-life paintings. After photographing, she posts these pictures on her Instagram page, along with her cakes and sugar flowers, often challenging the visitor to tell the edible flowers apart from the real ones.
The cakes from Cake Atelier Amsterdam go all over the world and are often featured in (online) media publications:
"I’ve been honored to have created cakes and sugar flower arrangements for clients from New York to Paris. My cakes, sugar flowers, and photography have been featured in international magazines such as Elle Décor USA, Flower Magazine, Dutch Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar."
