This is the 2nd part of a 2 Part Interview with The Indulgent Sugarplum, and Channel 4 Extreme Cake Maker, Nastassja.
We decided that the 1 and a half hour long interview was too long for one episode, and too interesting to cut anything out, so we've split it into 2 parts.
In Part 2 Nastassja speaks about her aesthetic, design process and inspiration. She tells us how she considers herself an artist, not jut a baker, and how Cake is her canvas. It is trully is a new way to look at the creative cake process!
In Part 1 she talked about her journey to becoming the cake maker she is today and what it felt like to get the call from Channel 4.
