ACDN Member Spotlight Amy Chapman of Inspired Cakes - by Amy My name is Amy, I am the artist and owner of ‘Inspired Cakes – by Amy’. My longstanding passion for creating art and sculpture lead me to undertake a degree in fine arts. After having my children I remembered how wonderful it was when my own mother would make special birthday cakes for me and set out to make memorable birthdays for my own children. Along the way I discovered my passion for cake art. The overwhelming response to these cakes for my children prompted me to launch “Inspired Cakes – by Amy in 2016. Every cake presents new opportunities to expand my skills and explore new and different techniques. I take special pleasure in creating new and exciting cakes, often with a largely sculptural component and delight in being given interesting themes to work towards. I feel extremely privileged to be asked to provide centrepieces for all occasions.
