Hello,
I’m Evgeni Bolotinski, CEO of CiaoCacaoCake.
When it comes to cake design, I believe every creation should delight both the eyes and the taste buds. That’s why I create and sell cakes that are not only visually elegant but also genuinely delicious made for everyone to enjoy. When it comes to design skills, mastering the fundamentals is essential. With a solid foundation, you can adapt and refine techniques to achieve truly high-quality results. Consistent practice matters but without strong basics, practice alone won’t take you far. In this course, I’ll guide you step by step through the core principles you need to build that foundation.

Interview with
Cake Designer
Evgeni Bolotinski
Question 01
Can you tell us how you came to open CiaoCacaoCake?
I’ve been working in the restaurant industry for over five years. At first, I planned to open a restaurant, but one day I wanted to surprise my family with a small sweet gift. In supermarket and pastry shops, however, everything felt too ordinary — too sweet and not very tasty. So I decided to create something of my own. I made a small cake in a box, known as a ‘bento cake’. Everyone loved it so much that I decided to try selling them. After three months of development, in the summer of 2022, I launched online sales through Instagram in Tel Aviv — and sold more than 200 cakes in just two weeks. That’s when I realized people truly loved my product. From there, I kept growing the brand, and just three years later, I’m recognized as one of the leading designers of cakes in Israel.
Question 02
What difficulties do students usually encounter before joining?
Through my offline classes, I’ve met many students who rely on overly complex processes that aren’t suitable for mass production. Others struggle to pinpoint their challenges simply because they never learned the fundamentals properly. Even those already selling cakes or working in the pastry industry for years often find lettering cakes — a relatively new and highly popular trend —difficult to master due to the lack of clear instructional resources. And finally, many students face challenges when it comes to adapting to fast-changing trends.
Question 03
How does this course help students overcome these challenges?
We’ll teach you simple, practical recipes and techniques that are perfect for retail — while being both delicious and beautiful. The curriculum is designed to help you build a solid foundation and adapt it in countless ways to reflect your personal or business style. Each lesson is meticulously detailed, and by following along, you’ll be able to create cakes that are even more polished and professional.
Question 04
What sets this course apart with Evgeni as your instructor?
This isn’t just a class where you passively watch cakes being made. It’s a course that covers core principles, production tips, and even storage methods — all of which can be applied directly in practice. Since the very beginning of CiaoCacaoCake, I’ve shared with students the lessons and tips I’ve gained from real-world experience. My hope is that everyone who joins CiaoCacaoCake classes can learn from my journey and grow more safely, confidently, and quickly.
Question 05
Is this course only for professionals, or also for people who just want to bake beautiful cakes at home?
Definitely! This course is beginner-friendly, so anyone can learn to bake amazing cakes — whether you simply want to delight your loved ones on special occasions or plan to start your own business and grow in this industry.
