Yasaman Baha
of Sweet Lilac Cakes
My name is Yasaman Baha and I am the owner of Sweet Lilac Cakes - a small
home-based cake decorating business located in the North Shore of Sydney.
I’m a self-taught cake decorator who loves being creative.
I studied Graphic Design at University and I have had a passion for painting
since I was very young. My favourite media is watercolour but I also have
experience with many other techniques.
I had never decorated a cake until I decided to make a birthday cake for my
little girl who was turning one! After that I watched many online tutorials and
signed up to Craftsy.
I then started practicing by making cakes for my friend’s special events.
I continually strive to develop my skills and to help me with this I have attended
classes with some of Australia’s leading cake decorators such as Sharon Wee
and Verusca Walker.
I have mostly created celebration cakes and I am glad that I have been able to
bring joy into my customer’s lives. All of my cakes are baked fresh to order and
handcrafted for their special occasions.
Cake decorating has become my passion.
In the last four years of this journey, I have
realised nothing is more enjoyable for me
than cake decorating and
watercolour painting and I would love to
combine these two skills to create more
unique designs.
I feel lucky to be living my dream job every
day.
