About Eileen Walker

Eileen Walker is the founder and owner of CSA Sugar Art™. Eileen originally lived in Africa but she and her late husband, Ian, moved to the United States in 1988. During her years in Africa Eileen perfected the art of making specialty cakes decorated with hand molded flowers made from sugar paste. Once the flowers were molded they were dusted and painted with colors until they bore an uncanny resemblance to the ones created by nature.

Once settled in the USA Ian continued his career in the financial world and Eileen decided that she would like to pursue the possibility of taking her previous hobby of cake decorating to a higher level. In the pursuit of this endeavor she was quite amazed at the degree of difficulty she was having in locating her requirements to perform this specialized craft. In the early years many cake decorators used either real or artificial flowers for decorative purposes. In view of her difficulties Eileen began the pursuit of sourcing products to create dusting powders of the highest quality and she became an expert in blending and creating a myriad of colors to suit her purpose.

Over a period of three decades with the assistance of her late husband she slowly but surely created a viable and highly successful business out of her hobby.
