These are the thoroughly lovable baked goods and edible decorations by Houston-based graphic designer/pastry chef MJ Tabush. Her Guatemalan heritage and her background in graphic design really come through in her pastry designs. She runs MJ Tabush Designs, an event design company that provides everything from invitations and signs to cakes and sweets tables.

She began applying her design sensibilities to her baked goods while she was still in school.

“It all began the last year of college when I begged my teacher to let me design my son’s 4th birthday party for a class assignment. Thinking back, this was my favorite college project. There are not enough words to describe how messy was my kitchen after I finished the cake but I loved it! So did my family and everyone else that saw it. This opened the floodgates.  After that assignment I started using my creativity and design skills to create custom celebrations for family and friends.”

Sometimes, when artists are creatively satisfied, it really comes through in their work. And if these beautiful baked goods are any indication, MJ Tabush must be very satisfied indeed!

Her beautiful products can be purchased on her website and also in her Etsy shop.
