Marta Hidalgo Masterclass
This November, we are thrilled to invite the brilliant cake artist Marta Hidalgo from Spain! She’ll be sharing her incredible sculpted cake techniques. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to learn from a true master in the art of cake design!
Marta Hidalgo, a renowned cake artist from Spain, began her creative journey as a cartoonist, creating layouts and storyboards for various projects. She never imagined that her path would lead her into the world of edible art. However, after her first experience working with modelling chocolate, she discovered a newfound passion. With a background in Fine Arts and a deep love for sculpting, Marta realised that working with edible materials was another form of artistic expression - one that allowed her to combine her academic training in drawing and art with her passion for modelling.
Her career in cake artistry officially began in May 2016 when she actively participated in various sugar collaborations to refine her decorating skills. Just a year later, her talent and dedication earned her international recognition, and she soon received invitations to teach her craft around the globe. Marta has shared her expertise in countries such as the USA, Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Portugal, Australia, the UK, Turkey, China, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland.
Marta’s work has earned numerous accolades, including the prestigious Cake Artist of the Year Award from Cake Masters Magazine in 2019, the Sculpted Cake Award in 2018, first prize and gold in Collaboration Australia 2017, and a silver prize at Cake International in the same year. Her stunning creations have been featured in esteemed publications such as Cake Masters Magazine, American Cake Decorating, and the Daily Mail.
Passionate about both learning and teaching, Marta continues to inspire others with her artistry and dedication to cake decorating. Her mission is to evolve continuously as an artist while sharing her knowledge and passion for working with edible materials.
