I created the origami technique.

"My passion for clean geometry led me to create something that didn't exist before."

I'm Merul, a self-taught baker since the age of 14. What started as a love for patterns and clean geometric shapes became the origami cake texturing technique now replicated by bakers across Brazil, Europe, and beyond.
