The Magda Sweet Cakes atelier in Granada

It all started with a suitcase and a craving. On a trip to London in 2007 I stumbled upon cupcakes and creative baking: impossible colours, cakes that looked like little sculptures, nothing like what I knew. I came home with an idea that never let go.

I threw myself into learning. I trained in sugarcraft with leading professionals and specialised in creative baking, wedding cakes and pâtisserie for events. For years I baked for family and friends while keeping my job as an administrator-accountant at a consultancy: the atelier lived in my kitchen, on weekends and late nights.

What people told me most wasn't how pretty the cakes looked, but how good they tasted. That was the push. In 2016 I left twelve years of office work behind and opened my own atelier in Padul. In 2022 Jorge joined the project, and with four hands we were able to grow without giving up what matters to us: caring for every cake as if it were the only one.

In 2024 we moved the atelier to Granada, where we still create every piece by hand, with the same excitement as on day one. In 2026 we joined APBEG (the Granada Association of Wedding & Event Suppliers) to help drive destination weddings in Granada together.
