Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes

Alison Dunlop and Amy Yip Create Extraordinary Cakes

— October 29, 2024 — Art & Design
Alison Dunlop from A.R.D. Bakery and Amy Yip of Yip.Studio is a talented cake artist who has redefined the industry with artful cakes. Their journeys are both rooted in a design space before breaching into the world of baking. A.R.D. Bakery is based in Glasglow and it specializes in bespoke cakes and chocolates in a graphic style.

She is inspired by various fields including textiles, graphic design, and architecture. Her work often has a playfulness to it with its sculptural look and striking aesthetics. Dunlop's cakes are defined by their geometric forms and vibrant hues. Amy Yip is from Brooklyn and her work is inspired by her roots in textile and print design as her work has Asian-inspired flavors and rock-shaped silhouettes.
