The Creator
Alina Berezovskaya
The Creative Visionary Behind Yiamy® Studio
Alina Berezovskaya’s journey is a blend of artistic passion, international experience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Born and raised in Cyprus, Alina’s love for beauty and design emerged early on, inspiring her to immerse herself in every available Art & Design class. By the age of 20, she had already earned her Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from the United Kingdom. Determined to expand her creative expertise, Alina pursued a Master’s degree in Concepts of Visual Communication at the prestigious École de Communication Visuelle in Paris. Her design career began in Toronto, followed by extensive experience working across Vienna and Moscow. This rich international background continues to inspire her creative process, infusing her cake designs with diverse artistic influences, sophisticated textures, and innovative flavour combinations. In 2015, Alina decided to merge her design expertise with her growing passion for patisserie. She enrolled at the renowned École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie in France — a world-class institution led by Alain Ducasse, a celebrated 21 Michelin-star chef, and Yves Thuriès, a two-time Meilleur Ouvrier de France and founder of the Musée des Arts du Sucre et du Chocolat. This pivotal experience refined her skills in French pastry arts, empowering her to create desserts that are as breathtaking as they are delicious. Alina returned to Cyprus to establish Yiamy® Studio, an innovative cake design studio dedicated to crafting bespoke luxury cakes for weddings, celebrations, and special events. Her designs are a harmonious blend of artistic flair, intricate details, and unforgettable flavours — a reflection of her global experiences and creative vision.

Today, Alina specializes in creating Grand Designer Cakes and luxurious custom creations that elevate life’s most cherished moments. Her expertise in cake sculpting, sugar flowers, and innovative techniques allows her to transform ideas into edible masterpieces — each one tailored to reflect her clients’ unique stories. In addition to her cake design work, Alina is passionate about sharing her knowledge and skills with aspiring cake designers and pastry artists. Through her hands-on workshops and online classes, Alina guides students of all levels in mastering essential techniques, exploring creative designs, and developing their unique artistic voice. Her teaching approach emphasizes precision, innovation, and the art of storytelling through cake design.
“When I think about desserts, I want to create something that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the taste buds. Unique and refined, originally crafted that is sure to satisfy every tongue”.
