Are you Ready to Dive into the World of Fake Food Art?
Let’s talk about the common pitfalls that could slow you down, drain your budget, and derail your progress. Avoid the mistakes most beginners make—and set yourself up for sweet success from day one. Let’s break it down.
But wait—before you jump in...
Problem #1
"I Don’t Know Where to Start!"
You’re bursting with creative ideas, ready to bring your vision to life. You head to your craft room, inspired and excited…
But then it hits you...
"Where do I even begin?"
There’s no official "fake food" textbook. Without guidance, you'll face hours of trial, error, and frustrating research that leaves you frustrated and drained.
Problem #2
"I'm Drowning in Supplies!"
You’ve spent hundreds on materials... and still don’t have the right ones.
Every tutorial recommends something different. You try one, then another—hoping the next product will finally “work.”
Before long, your craft room is overflowing with unused supplies, half-opened tools, and mystery materials.
You’re overwhelmed, overspending, and still searching for answers.
Sound familiar?
Problem #3
Following Trends Makes You Invisible
Following a trend might feel like a smart shortcut. It’s easy, it sells, and it’s what you see everywhere online.
But that’s exactly the problem.
When everyone’s following the same formula, everything starts to look the same resulting in market saturation, price undercuts and high competition.
Originality isn’t just what makes your work beautiful. It’s what makes it profitable. It’s your most powerful tool for building a brand that lasts.
Our Solution and Commitment
You’ll fast track what I learned in 6 years in just 2 hours.
Why spend years figuring it out alone?

that took me 6 years to learn the hard way.

Student Testimonials
Hi I'm Mae!
Starting my Fake Bake journey was a real adventure—it was just me, figuring things out as I went along. It took years to master the craft because everything was self-taught.
Along the way, I had to pick up another crucial skill: making my hobby sustainable. That meant opening an Etsy shop, participating in craft shows, and even stepping into a brick-and-mortar scene.
Now, I'm excited to share all the insights I've gained from building my little one-woman business. I've reached the Etsy Top 10% Sellers and have sustained a monthly $4,000 paycheck plus business expenses for overhead, travel, dining and the occasional treat yourself!
But trust me—it didn’t start that way.
And that’s why I created this course: so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way like I did.
Now it’s your turn to take the first step!

From Zero Sales to Top 10%: My Etsy Journey
When I launched my Etsy shop back in 2017, I had big hopes—maybe even a few dreams of instant success.
But reality hit hard: I didn’t sell a single thing. No traffic, no customers, and definitely no income. I know what it’s like to pour your heart into your craft and feel like no one’s noticing. It’s discouraging. It’s exhausting. And it almost made me give up. But I didn’t.
I kept learning, refining, and rebuilding—piece by piece. And slowly, things started to shift.
Fast forward to today: I’ve joined the top 10% of Etsy sellers and built a business that not only pays the bills—but funds my creativity, lifestyle, and goals.
Fast forward to 2024, I moved (hello chaos, goodbye routine!) and had to hit pause on my shop for six months. When I finally reopened with a small collection, I had no idea what to expect...
I generated over $2,000 sales in just one day!
Turning your passion into a business isn’t just a dream—it’s absolutely possible. I’ve lived it, and now I want to help you do the same. Because here’s the truth: Creative dreamers are entrepreneurs.
You already have the heart, the vision, and the talent. What you need is the roadmap—and that’s where FAUX SWEETS ACADEMY comes in.
I created a business course specifically for us—makers, artists, and fake bake creators who want to turn our craft into a sustainable, profitable business. This isn’t a generic business class. It’s built from real experience, real mistakes, and real wins.
You’ve got this. And you don’t have to do it alone. Let FAUX SWEETS ACADEMY guide you from passionate maker to confident business owner—one sweet step at a time.
You Have the Talent!
Now Let’s Build the Business!
A Non-Sugar Coated Business Course and Community for Handcrafters
When I started my Fake Bake journey, it was all trial and error. I taught myself everything—from mastering the art of realistic desserts to figuring out how to turn a passion into profit. It wasn’t easy, but over time, I built a business from the ground up: launching an Etsy shop, selling at craft shows, and eventually stepping into the world of brick-and-mortar retail.
If you’re a maker dreaming of doing the same—of turning your creative passion into a meaningful, income-generating business—you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
That’s why I created CRAFTED MASTERMINDS—a business course made by a maker for makers. I’ll share everything I’ve learned about branding, pricing, marketing, and building a sustainable handmade business—so you can skip the guesswork and start growing with confidence.
Let’s build something beautiful—together.
