Sugar Drag Race Sugar Art Collaboration

These splendid cupcakes were made by Sebastien Haramendy. A while back for another collaboration, I did an interview with Sebastien Haramendy.  He recently contacted me about featuring this collaboration.

Sugar Drag Race Sugar Art Collaboration  is hosted by  Vicky Teather and Sebastien Haramendy. This collaboration features wonderful cakes and other sugar art inspired by Rupal’s Drag Race television show on VH-1. Around 20 professional and amateur artists from all over the world created a sugar art piece inspired by their chosen queen.

This post features some of the wonderful sugar art pieces from this collaboration. Please take a look at the Sugar Drag Race Cake Collaboration  to see all of these splendid pieces.

Baker’s Description of Piece:

I chose to pay tribute to probably the craziest and most creative queen so far: Nina Bo’nina Banana Fofana Osama Bin Laden Brown! It was hard to pick, but I decided to represented 4 of her most iconic runway looks :
her Minnie Mouse entrance look,
her Peach Home City runway,
her Princess Zathena eleganza,
her Skull Club Kid couture.

This superb cupcake topper was made by Vicky Teather.

Baker’s description of piece:

when I saw Ariel Versace in her star sign themed Aries outfit I knew I had to make her.
There was something about all the pastel pinks and purples that caught my eye. I had intended to make a full figurine, but life got in the way, so I present an Ariel Versace cupcake topper!

This terrific cake was made by Marisa Kemp.

This splendid Kim Chi cake was made by Jean Schapowal.

I’m Antonio, I’m Italian and I live and work in Belgium, where I own “La Cucina Delle Zie”, a cake studio specialised in bespoke creations for weddings and celebrations. I started making cakes after having quit my career as a lawyer looking for something more challenging and creative. I have a soft spot for royal icing and sugar flowers and fondant textures. I love old movies, Russian literature and decorative arts.

My collaboration piece represents Plastique Tiara, I chose her because of her amazing glamourous looks and stylish attitude.

My Name is Kara Heather, I am based in Braintree, Essex, UK. I am a married Mum of 2 grown up daughters and have been caking for about 20 years. I started off doing a three year cake course in royal icing and making flowers and basic figures. Most of what I do today is self taught. My greatest cake achievement was purchasing my airbrush which I’d be lost without. I have a small cake business and my favourite cakes are animals, bags and shoes.
