Sondra Velich from Sweet Bites Cakes

Sweet Bites Cakes was announced the winner of the Shore City Art of Cake Awards last night, after 3 weeks of public voting. The stunning creation by cake artist Sondra Velich, was inspired by a Christian Dior couture

gown and reflected the opulence and glamour of the ‘haute couture’ competition theme.

"The response we’ve received from the public over the last 3 weeks has been fantastic. It was such a different and unexpected event compared to what people are used to seeing in shopping centres," says Shore City Marketing Manager, Anna Gervai.

"Shore City is very proud to have created an event that put the talent of Auckland's cake artists on a pedestal. We have world-class talent here that deserved to be showcased," says Gervai.
