I am so happy that Sugar By Tracy is bringing her amazing cakes to our workshop!  Tracy's unique designs, and fun approach to cake art is something to see!     Read a little bit about Tracy below!

FROM OUR FRIEND TRACY:
Crafting sugar flowers by hand is absolutely my favourite part of the cake designing and creating process; to sculpt and layer sugar from nothing into something as beautiful as a garden rose is amazing!

​When I am not in my studio, I devote my time to being a mom to my awesome kids Addison and Caleb. We’re an animal loving family with 2 dogs and 2 cats. We also breed ball python snakes in my husband Cody’s reptile room. Had I known 10 years ago that Cody’s love of reptiles would rub off on me, I might have named Sugar by Tracy “Snakeys & Cakeys” instead!

Our family loves to be outside all summer long camping, playing board games and binge watching Netflix. I am a big fan of coffee and red wine, although I have been having a recent love affair with bourbon.   

I started baking at a young age at our home in Okotoks . I was always in the kitchen with my mom baking cookies and pies and other desserts, all while never making a mess if I remember correctly! She may remember differently. 

When my daughter Addison was born, I realized that I need to be able to express my love for her in a creative way. I wanted to create big, beautiful fondant masterpieces for her birthday, but I knew nothing about fondant. I read and read, searched every place I could think of for information and practiced on a Styrofoam cake tier for months before her 2nd birthday party, just so I could bring the vision I had in my head to life!

I started designing and baking cakes for my family and friends after that! And then friends of friends as my reputation started to build. And suddenly in 2010, Sugar by Tracy was born! 

Since 2010, I have moved to Central Alberta with my husband and 2 children. We’ve renovated a space in our home specifically for a commercial kitchen and cake studio, which is the perfect workspace to create, design and bake all kinds of delicious treats! My cake studio is fully licensed with Alberta Health Services and is regularly inspected.  

I am dedicated to the artistry of cake and sugar. I have travelled across the country, refining my skills while learning from world renowned sugar artists. I love to play with different textures, combining contemporary techniques with classic cake design.

It is definitely amazing on how Tracy Irwin designs different cakes. Her designs are pleasing to the eyes, yet fresh and new to see since it is unique. It is great that Tracy shares some of her insights in cake designing, her love story with baking, and her life as a mother in a family. My heart was filled with love when I read the sentence "I started designing and baking cakes for my family and friends...". It is nice that she started and made a masterpiece because of her overflowing love for her family and friends.
