Originally from the beautiful Island of Sri Lanka, she is now based in Dubai.
Although Reema initiated her cake designing journey in 2014, the art of baking cakes had not been new to her. Her mother, being a home baker, has instilled fond memories of cake making in her since childhood.
Academically educated in the field of Early Childhood Education, Reema started her career as a preschool teacher, eventually becoming a Trainer for teachers. Her experience in teaching, coupled with her creative skills, have been crucial in taking her career in cake designing instruction to great heights.
Reema believes that her work should be unique and created by getting inspired by everything around her. Subsequently, her career has unfolded into a beautiful journey of experimenting with multi mediums and specializing in edible flowers. Her work is most of the time a piece of art and nothing short of spectacular. Her iconic masterpiece of a life sized ‘Wedding dress cake’ (2019) is a testimony for this.
She was a finalist at the prestigious Cake Masters award – UK (Cake Oscars) in 2019 for the Show piece category. She has also been invited as a judge for many international Cake shows.
As an instructor, Reema has mentored over 1,000 cake artists across many countries around the world.
