Luke Boyd is a confectionary artist who combines cake decorating, baking, and painting to make appetizing art about emotional experiences. He first started baking with his grandmothers and his mom at a very young age. Painting and baking served as an outlet for Luke to be flamboyant and queer before he was openly gay. He now uses his cake sculptures to affirm viewers with messages of love, acceptance, and humor.
