Willie Nelson bust cake

Considered by Sideserf as her breakout opportunity,[4] her submission of a bust made in the likeness of country music singer Willie Nelson won best in show at a cake competition hosted in Austin, Texas.[5] When her brother posted an image of the cake to Reddit, it reached number-one on February 23, 2013, garnering over 1.2 million views.[6] Although it was Sideserf's first attempt at a sculpted bust, the positive reaction prompted her to launch her own company, Sideserf Cake Studio.[4]

Severed Heads wedding cake

In October 2013, just eight months after receiving global attention from the Willie Nelson cake, Sideserf took on a much darker subject as a follow-up: the decapitated heads of her and her groom-to-be. “I was heavily influenced by the Halloween season, my husband's love for horror movies, and the venue which was the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema,” she told FoxNews.com in an email. “While we do a vast array of different cake designs for our customers, hyperrealism has been one of my favorite subjects so the thought of doing our severed heads was a no-brainer (no pun intended).”[7] The cake was featured on Episode 40 of ABC's The Chew.

Sideserf Cake Studio

Sideserf Cake Studio is located in Austin, Texas and is the first bakery to coin the term "Cake Studio", putting an emphasis on the artistry of decorating and design as opposed to traditional bakeries. Clients have included Austin-centric events like the Moontower Comedy Festival and SXSW as well as celebrities like American Idol judge Keith Urban,[8] Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel, Big Freedia, and others.

Texas Cake House

Natalie and her husband Dave Sideserf are hosts of Texas Cake House on Food Network. The series highlights Sideserf Cake Studio and the incredibly realistic, sculpted cakes Natalie painstakingly creates for clients using her fine art background. In this series, Natalie and Dave give an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a successful business with a spouse.[9]
