About Uta Hornemann

Growing up in the south of Germany, Uta always loved baking – she never missed out on a special occasion to bake a cake. After completing degrees in chemistry and marketing, she worked for many years for a worldwide leading IT company heading the Advertising and Marketing Communications Department – before making the career switch to cake.

While living in Switzerland with my family, I decorated my first cake and immediately fell in love. Alma Pasteles was founded in 2010 in Spain where I was making mostly cookies and cakes for children’s birthdays.

Throughout the last few years, she has been featured in Magazines such as DIY Weddings, Cake Masters, Braut München and on blogs as well including, Style Me Pretty, Green wedding shoe, Hochzeitswahn and Hochzeitsguide.

Although Uta is self-taught, she makes time for online courses, but credits most of her cake decorating knowledge coming from a lot of trial and error.
