Madame Maricotta

Hi, I’m Larissa, the cake artist and founder of Madame Maricotta, a boutique cake studio based in Main Beach on the beautiful Gold Coast.My journey with cake decorating began in Brazil over six years ago, when I discovered how much I enjoyed creating beautiful cakes and being part of people's special celebrations. Over time, that passion grew into my own business, and today I feel incredibly grateful to do something I genuinely love.Before becoming a cake artist, I worked as a tour guide in Brazil for over ten years. I've always loved meeting new people, sharing experiences and making others feel welcome. I think that’s one of the reasons I enjoy teaching so much.One of my favourite parts of teaching is seeing how excited people get when they realise they can decorate their own cake. I love watching everyone get involved, try something new, laugh at their little mistakes and feel proud of what they've created.My workshops are relaxed, fun and completely hands-on. You don't need any previous experience, and I'll guide you through every step. I want everyone to feel comfortable, enjoy the process and have a lovely time together.As a Brazilian cake artist, I also enjoy sharing a little of my culture through my cakes, especially our traditional Brazilian fillings, which are always a favourite!I put a lot of love and attention into everything I create, from wedding cakes to the smallest details in my workshops. I really enjoy sharing what I've learned over the years and helping others experience the joy of cake decorating.Whether you're coming with friends, celebrating a birthday, organising a hens party or simply looking for something different to do, I'd love to welcome you to one of my workshops.I can't wait to meet you and decorate some beautiful cakes together!With love, Larissa Founder & Cake Artist | Madame Maricotta
