“用翻糖做花,美丽才永不枯萎!”提起翻糖蛋糕女生们脑海里第一个闪现过的画面一定是婚礼蛋糕和洁白的婚纱它是一种仪式感更是一段新旅途的象征给了很多妹纸梦想成真的感觉


创意、色彩、造型、细节…的完美呈现是厨师对一座翻糖蛋糕最基本的尊敬今天要分享的这些作品来自一位从芭蕾舞者半路转行做烘焙的妹纸——Maggie Austin▼
最初Maggie的专业和烘焙完全无关在26年人生中的前23年她的生活只有一个目的掌握作为芭蕾舞女演员的所有技巧一遍又一遍的重复力求在每一个细节上尽可能的做到完美
但是天有不测风云某一天跳舞时Maggie感到脚下有一丝刺痛对于专业舞者来说这不是一个好兆头受伤几乎就意味着她舞蹈生涯的结束那时的她还未意识到这是另一段精彩人生的开端
Maggie简直无法想象不跳芭蕾该怎样生活她没有漂亮的学历和丰富的工作经验最初她想从事舞蹈教学工作但却没有工作室愿意录用她在浑浑噩噩中她度过了人生中最迷茫的时期
她的丈夫鼓励她寻找新的东西对葡萄酒很感兴趣的Maggie开始尝试成为一名侍酒师然而在成为一位她很钦佩的厨师查理·特罗特店里的实习生以后Maggie发现自己并不适合这个职业
她决定继续寻找自己喜欢的工作在发现对烘焙有一些兴趣后Maggie到芝加哥的法国糕点学校进行了为期六个月的课程学习在这段时间里她和同学们有两周时间学习婚礼蛋糕制作的相关专业知识她被糖花完全迷住了尽管制作过程耗时又复杂但她却从它们身上找到了和芭蕾舞一样需要投入极大的耐心和对细节的关注而这正是她最擅长的
生活却在这时和Maggie开了一个很大的玩笑她的婚姻出现了危机最终她和先生选择离婚来为过去画上句号和很多女性一样离异对Maggie来说是一个天大的打击尽管几近崩溃她仍然坚持继续前行
离婚后Maggie带着行李孤身投奔在华盛顿的妹妹她尝试找工作养活自己甚至考虑制作翻糖花兜售给糕点店但这一途仿佛行不通孤立无援之时她开始尝试自己制作和销售翻糖蛋糕并把它们Po在社交网站进行分享

Maggie的很多作品灵感来自艺术、时尚和自然她从不去参考同行的作品拒绝接受求助和获取指导从最简单的一朵花、一片叶子开始坚持原创、不受外界影响
相较于外面喧嚣吵闹的世界慢慢的Maggie发现自己更喜欢待在厨房对她来说这里更像是一个舞台虽然一个人很孤独但不断的制作自己喜欢的翻糖蛋糕对改变她的人生起到了很大作用
她在社交网上发布的自己作品有时会让人分不清真假当地一家婚庆公司发现了Maggie的作品并在自己的社交账号进行了分享它们迅速的刷屏了世界各地的婚庆类和设计类社交账号伴随着知名度的提升Maggie甚至还获得了电视台的关注并且邀请她参加“今日show”比赛
