Margherita Ferrara

Italian Master Artist

Margherita Ferrara is an accomplished artist and one of the most established names in the Italian cake art scene. She comes to the cake world with a degree in Fashion and Costume Art and an extensive history working for major national and international fashion companies. She brings her fashion designer's precision, imagination, and glamour into her cake art.

In April 2013, Margherita formed Fashflower’s Cake offering cake decorating classes and organizing national and international events. Her first cake design event was Cake Art Of Denim, a collaboration with McArthurGlen company where the Cake Design World met Fashion. 

Margherita went on to start Cake Factory - an interactive and collaborative project with a personal and unique format. Cake Factory allows people to discover the cake design world as protagonist and not only as spectator. Cake Factory took place for the first time in Rome in March 2014 and continues to draw crowds at cake shows and exhibitions across Europe. In 2019, Margherita was awarded the Cake Masters Award for Best Collaboration.

Marble style is Margherita's passion and she has mastered the art of working sugarpaste to imitate the look of carved marble. She reproduced Michelangelo's La Pietà in sugarpaste so succesfully that the piece took awards in both the UK and New York. She is always in “work in progress” mode, thinking about and working on new and innovative ideas.

In addition to her role with Innovative Sugarworks, Margherita frequently appears in cake magazines and has taught for the Paul Bradford Sugarcraft School.
