Meet Cynthia
Chef, Food & Table Stylist, and Creative Director
With a foundation in classical culinary training and years of styling experience, I now create content inspired by the soft edges of coastal living — food, cake, florals, quiet beauty and everyday rituals that reflect healing and the season.
Whether I’m styling a garden table, baking a beautiful cake, or gathering inspiration for my Substack journal, my work lives in the in-between; part coastal, part creative, always rooted in intention.
This space is where it all comes together — slow content, seasonal visuals, and the little things that make life feel artful.
Offerings — Studio Overview
Artful Storytelling for Food, Brands & The Table
With over two decades of experience in food and visual storytelling, I offer a layered, sensory approach to content creation and brand work. My creative practice is rooted in seasonality, feeling, and the quiet beauty of the everyday — where food becomes more than nourishment; it becomes language.
Whether you’re launching a product, shaping a brand story, or planning an immersive experience, I bring thoughtful, refined visuals and narrative depth to the table.
Food & Prop Styling
For campaigns, editorial shoots, social media, websites, and branded content. From ingredients to plating to surface styling, I shape visual stories with texture, restraint, and emotional resonance.
Creative Direction
Full-concept creative visioning and visual leadership for culinary brands, lifestyle products, and food-forward businesses. From lookbooks to moodboards to styled shoots, I collaborate with intention and aesthetic clarity.
Content Creation
Branded stills and short-form video rooted in season, story, and style — designed for use across social, web, and editorial platforms.
Styled Tables & Brand Activations
Immersive table design and curated experiences for brands, launches, workshops, and gatherings. Available for select in-person work in Charleston or by travel.
Retreats
Artful retreats for food, travel and storytelling. Blending seasonal cuisine, table styling, and immersive experiences. Cynthia hosts and collaborates on retreats in France and Portugal. Each gathering is designed to slow life down and celebrate the beauty of food, place, and connection. Retreats are geared toward culinary enthusiasts, creatives, brands, and anyone seeking inspiration through food, travel, and artful living.

Plante Cakes
A botanical cake studio rooted in natural elegance.
Plante Cakes is a personal expression of botanical cake artistry — inspired by the coast, seasonal ingredients, and the gentle beauty of florals. Each cake is made with care, styled with intention, and crafted to reflect the feeling of the moment — whether for a quiet celebration or the joy of creating something beautiful by hand.
While I no longer take regular orders, I continue to share this work through limited commissions and brand activations.
