Kate Sullivan

City: New York, N.Y.

Kate brings a custom set of patterns and a sense of realness to her cakes that she believes make them far superior to most of her colleagues' creations. With her natural talent as a book-studied cake decorator, Kate is determined not to fall apart and to deliver a champion cake that will win the heart of the client. Previously, she has buckled under pressure in other big competitions and lost. This time, she's out to prove herself.
