About Me
- Diane Shavkin The Magic Touch
- I grew up seeing my mom decorate cakes, cupcakes and cookies. In 1968, I was given the Wilton yearbook and some basic supplies. Around 1975, I entered a cake show and saw Meeche Noone's gum paste miniatures. I began to hand mold miniatures and create wood grained effects in sugar. In 1981, I won First Place and Felicitations of the Jury at the Culinery Cake Show. In 1982 I won Best of Show for my gum paste miniatures magic show and woodland scene. As suggested by Mary Beth Enderson, I brought my "Magic Touch" to the 1982 ICES Convention. I became very involved in ICES and was awarded the Wilbur Brand Memorial Service award for excellence in service. I have innovated techniques such as "Puffed Embroidery", the attached ruffle and the dig-in ruffles which I will be teaching and demonstrating at the NY Cake Convention in NYC in January 2010.
