A Team Challenge for a Giant Cake Dream to Excite the World #AprilDream

Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams.
This press release is the dream of "SugaR DayS."

Creating a three-dimensional structure as tall as a person, made entirely of cake.
Our team is taking on this challenge.

Currently, I am leading the Japanese team as the leader of the team participating in the "Cake-Off" at the World Sugar Art Competition to be held in Australia in the summer of 2026.
This competition is an international event where top artists from around the world gather to create large-scale works as a team, and we have been invited as representatives of Japan.

At the competition, we will create a giant cake, approximately 1.2m square and 1.6m high, resembling an architectural structure.

It's not just about being big; it must be made from edible materials and stand as a self-supporting structure.
It's a large-scale project that uses over 100kg of ingredients, including about 60kg of sponge cake, chocolate, and cream, and involves structural design from the ground up.

Furthermore, the creation must be completed within a limited time of 2 days, 6 hours each day,
requiring both speed and precision, making it an extremely advanced challenge.

Currently, in preparation for the main event, our team is conducting intensive training camps and technical verifications to enhance the perfection of the work.
This challenge, which pushes the boundaries of structure, materials, and expression within a limited time, has become a project that goes beyond mere production.

My dream is not to let this experience be a one-time challenge, but to establish giant cake and large-scale sugar art production as a Japan-originated business.

In Japan, "giant cakes that surprise and offer an experience" are not yet an established field for events, commercial facilities, or stage productions.

By leveraging the techniques cultivated at the world competition and our team production know-how,
we aim to provide new value in the field of corporate events and spatial design through giant cake production.

Can cakes really do this much?
I want to elevate it to a level where people think that.

Currently, we also accept consultations regarding the production of such large-scale works and event planning,
and through this project, we aim to deliver this form of expression in more situations.

And in the future, we aim for Japan-originated sugar art to be adopted not only domestically but also at events worldwide.
