Grace Pak, a Denver-based baker, found herself on Netflix’s “Is It Cake?” through her unique hand-painted cake creations that have captivated clients in Denver, Aspen, and New York. Pak’s journey into the world of baking stemmed from a background in fine art and a career in web design, eventually leading her to pursue a master’s degree in neuroscience. Personal loss prompted her to pivot towards her shared passion for food and art, inspiring her to enroll in culinary school and embark on a new path as a cake designer.
Transitioning her cake designs into her wedding stationery business, Duchess of Cameron, Pak’s intricate custom cakes, often featuring floral motifs and hand-painted details, garnered the attention of Netflix producers scouting for talent on “Is It Cake?”. The show challenges bakers to create hyperrealistic cake replicas of everyday objects, pushing Pak to showcase her attention to detail and learn new skills under pressure.
Pak’s experience on the show not only tested her creativity and technical abilities but also introduced her to a new level of competition and time constraints. Despite the challenges, Pak’s dedication to her craft shone through as she competed against other talented bakers in pursuit of the grand prize. The show’s format and celebrity judges added an extra layer of excitement to Pak’s baking journey, highlighting her talent on a national platform.
While the outcome of the show remains a mystery, Pak continues to create her detailed cakes both in New York City and Denver, adapting her designs to incorporate more sculptural elements post-show. Beyond her baking endeavors, Pak also engages in meaningful collaborations with art therapists and nonprofits, utilizing her skills to empower and support vulnerable communities through creative expression.
In Colorado, Pak is exploring opportunities to bring cake therapy to underserved populations, recognizing the therapeutic value of art regardless of language barriers. Her commitment to using her talent for social impact showcases a deeper aspect of her work beyond the realm of baking, emphasizing the transformative power of creativity in healing and self-expression.
As Pak navigates between her dual residences in New York and Colorado, she remains dedicated to her craft and the connections she forges through her art. Whether her appearance on “Is It Cake?” translates into increased business opportunities, Pak’s passion for baking and creating remains unwavering as she continues to innovate and inspire through her hand-painted cake designs.
