MEET THE ARTIST

I experience a sense of accomplishment when I complete a work, but it is the perpetual love of the creative process that drives my artistic growth.

Theresa Johnson-Londot, the visionary lead cake artist behind The Cake Artistry, has built a career that seamlessly blends art, passion, and impeccable craftsmanship. Raised on the picturesque coastal island of St. Simons Island, Georgia, and later relocating to Coral Gables, Florida, where she graduated from the University of Miami, Theresa was nurtured in a community of creative family, friends, and professional mentors. This strong foundation inspired her to pursue her artistic ambitions, spanning multiple disciplines.

​

 ​Theresa began her career in research at the ​University​ of Miami before advancing to community programming and research evaluation with a leading Miami-based organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families.​ However, her deep passion for culinary arts eventually led her to a life-changing decision: to follow her true calling. She enrolled at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu, where she discovered an unexpected love for pastry and cake design—a passion that would soon become her life's work.

​

After completing her training, Theresa honed her skills at a distinguished Miami event and design company, working alongside the executive chef and principal event designer. This invaluable mentorship emphasized the importance of creating food that not only captivates the eye but also delights the palate. Under their guidance, Theresa refined her craft, learning how to marry aesthetic beauty with exceptional flavor. Driven to continuously elevate her artistry, she sought advanced education from world-renowned cake artists, further developing a distinct style that has since garnered national recognition.

​

Theresa’s dedication culminated in the founding of The Cake Artistry, a business built on her commitment to excellence and her unwavering passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Now based in New Orleans, The Cake Artistry serves the Greater New Orleans area, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, designing show-stopping cakes for high-profile clients, including celebrities, engaged couples planning their weddings, and corporate events, as well as discerning customers seeking something truly extraordinary. Her work has been featured in top publications such as Vogue, Brides, Green Wedding Shoes, Munaluchi Bride, Carats & Cakes, Style Me Pretty, NOW Weddings and Southern Bride.
