Dinara Kasko is a Ukrainian baker, pastry chef and media figure notable for her usage of 3D printing in cake baking. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Kasko was born in Krasnograd, in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. She studied to be an architect but chose to retire from her career as a 3D visualizer and take up baking. [1] Kasko's main method of baking involves using a 3D printer to construct a silicone mould that is then used to shape a cake. Her works of confectionery art employ the mathematical principles of the Voronoi diagram and biomimicry. [1] The cakes have been compared to the art of several artists, and Kasko has collaborated with pastry magazine Sogood on a series of cake designs. [1] [5]
Kasko’s main pastry studio in Kharkiv was closed during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. [6] Kasko, a native of Kharkiv, fled the country to the UK in the early months of the conflict. Her bakery and silicone mould business continue to operate from Ukraine, China and Poland. [7]
