The Story Behind the Geeks
Sugargeeks is a product of love, frosting, and a touch of fandom chaos. I’m Tasmin — baker, geek, and creator of character cakes, fondant cookies, and all things sweet and nerdy.
I started Sugargeeks in Malta as a way to blend my love for handmade treats with everything from Pokémon to PlayCon. Every cupcake and cake pop is made from scratch (no boxed mix here!) and decorated with care.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, an event, or just surviving the work week — there’s a geeky treat for that.
Sugargeeks began after I realised, post-COVID, that I needed a creative outlet — something joyful, hands-on, and unapologetically geeky. Every treat I make is highly tailored to my clients: from flavour combos to image editing, handmade fondant figures, or sculpted details that reflect exactly what they love.
I kicked things off at local events, and for my first one I baked a life-sized Pikachu cake that weighed over 6 kilos — and yes, I carried it myself! My favourite work is sugar paste sculpting; there’s something magical about turning a lump of fondant into a tiny edible character.
Sugargeeks is very much a family-powered adventure: my husband handles logistics, my sister helps with sales, and my daughter spreads the word with adorable enthusiasm. 💕 My absolute favourite theme? Sailor Moon, always. ✨
