I’m Michael Wehrmann, 36 years old, born and raised in Amersfoort, The Netherlands but living in France for almost 14 years now.

I graduated as a pastry chef at a young age, but I quickly realized that traditional pastry work wasn’t quite what I was looking for-I wanted something that allowed me to express my creativity in a bigger way.

In 2017, I discovered the world of cake design and was instantly hooked. Soon after, I launched my own business, Mi’Cakery Atelier & Cake Design, where I could fully explore my passion for creating unique edible art

Modelling, sculpting, and painting quickly became my true passions.

Being entirely self-taught, I developed my own distinctive style, which has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including Best in Show at Mjam Cake show and Best in Class at Cake International, along with multiple gold medals.

Today, I’m proud to be a Saracino tutor, sharing my expertise through classes and demonstrations worldwide. It’s incredibly rewarding to inspire others and share the techniques I’ve developed on my journey as a cake artist.
