Cake by Melanie

My name is Melanie Stadnik Fuller. I am the daughter of the late Virginia Stadnik, Master Cake Decorator and charter member of the International Cake Exploration Society (ICES). I have grown up in the world of cake decorating and sugar art. I have mastered cake decorating through years of study and under my mother - taking her courses and teaching cake decorating classes for her shop. My mother traveled the states and internationally to learn her craft. I have decorated cakes from a very early age. In my only two cake decorating competitions at ages 13 and 16, I placed 1st competing with adults. I knew then that this is what I wanted to do - to carry on the legacy of my mother. For several years I taught cake decorating classes at Columbus State University (CSU) - later teaching classes for my small business. Even after all these years, I am still learning new methods in cake decorating and sugar art. I love to take a vision someone has and make it come to life. What a great feeling it is to see a customer's eyes as they see their creation just as it was imagined.
