Joyce Osorio – Cake Artist
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Joyce Osorio is a self-taught baker who believes in reinventing yourself at any age. A former real estate agent, she started pursuing cake art after attempting to make Elmo cupcakes for her son’s second birthday. From there, she has grown immensely as a cake artist and clients now tell her they can recognize her cakes instantly—from the fun, cheerful colors combined with the modernity of her clean lines. Usually she works alone, but she’s excited to have a second set of eyes and creativity with her partner in this competition!
