Sarah Sparkman is the owner and artist behind Cake Shack Co., an Austin-based art studio creating whimsical, hyper-realistic dessert sculptures. Drawing on a decade of professional cake-decorating experience, she blends her lifelong love of baking and sculpting to craft playful, edible-looking artworks that spark joy and nostalgia. Named after the song Love Shack by the B52's, Cake Shack is a funky little place where we can all get together and share our love for art and desserts!
Each piece is sculpted by hand using ceramics, spackle, and mixed media to create playful, hyper-realistic desserts that really are too pretty to eat. Cake Shack is the one place where you truly can have your cake and keep it, too. Inspired by childhood treats, bold colors, and the simple pleasure of a perfectly frosted moment - we invite you to slow down, smile, and enjoy something sweet without the sugar, calories, or guilt. Every handcrafted piece is made to evoke delight, creativity, and that warm feeling you get when something small and beautiful brightens your day.
