Author of "The Art of Salad" (A Arte da Salada), "O Grande Livro de Bolos & Festas", "A Bíblia dos Bolos de Casamento". Julie’s love for baking began in the kitchen with her mother and grandmother.

Julie evolved her career transitioning from editorial design work to become certified as an expert in elaborate cak

She studied with various renowned cake designers and traveled between Portugal and the U.S. to train at various schools including the famous Wilton School of Cake Decorating and Confectionary Art in Illinois. By 2010, she had built increasing renown and reputation in Portugal for creating beautiful and delicious creations with establishment of novel (“pop-up”) cake shops, popular decorating workshops and the launch of her luxury cake business. Portugal presented many opportunities for Julie. Her talent for high-end cake artistry attracted a loyal following and she is continually featured in many top European magazines, on wedding and lifestyle blogs, and is a baking and cake design expert on Portuguese television. With impressive mastery of the Portuguese language, Julie has also become a successful book author in Portugal. She’s created three popular cookbooks, "Os Bolos da Julie" (Julie's Cakes), "As Festas da Julie" (Julie's Parties) and "A Bíblia dos Bolos de Casamento" (The Wedding Cake Bible).

Over 26 years together, and we're more in love than ever.

Let me take you back to the unforgettable day when we celebrated my 50th birthday and our 20th wedding anniversary with Jacques, my Captain Handsome.

Thinking about that day still brings a tear to my eye and fills me with so much emotion.

We created an enchanted garden party in a private estate, where our friends were greeted by an impressive cake (taller than I am!), surrounded by flowering trees and adorned with thousands of delicate sugar pearls and flowers.

To make it even more magical, the cake rotated on a platform, spotlighted like a true star 🌟

Following my love for cake, I created an edible seating chart with four mini wedding cakes, each one with our guest’s names piped in royal icing.

And as if that weren’t enough, for the pre-dessert, we served salted caramel cream puffs in little birdcages; our friends were enchanted.

For the main dessert, we had my favorite carrot cake, baked with love by Jacques. In the end, we had two cakes: the grand one at the entrance and a three-tier cake that we cut at midnight.

And even after a long dinner filled with delicious courses, nothing could keep us off the dance floor. We danced our hearts out until 3 a.m., savoring every last moment of a night to remember.

Wrapping up the season in Portugal and packing my bags for Florida! I’m so excited to start working on some pretty epic wedding cakes in the sunshine state! Big things in the works…

I’m often asked about what tools I can’t live without, and if I have multiples for both countries. The answer is there are a LOT of things I can’t live without, and yes, I have to have a set in both Portugal and in the States so I can hop back and forth more easily when I’ve got cakes in either place. ( + top my list of must haves!)

Making a carrot cake with Jacques is always fun… 🤣🤣🤣

Making dehydrated orange slices for Aperol Spritz for my birthday coming up this week! Easy peasy recipe: Oranges, clementines, any citrus will do (washed and dried) Coconut sugar Cinnamon Spices like ginger or cloves but just a pinch Pinch of salt Preheat your oven to 200F (95C) Line baking trays with parchment paper Use a mandoline to slice the citrus super thin Place in a single layer on the lined sheets Sprinkle the coconut sugar, cinnamon etc on the slices Put in the oven and bake - remove from oven every half hour and flip the slices over. You’ll need at least 3 hours to make them super crispy. Make sure they don’t burn! When done, remove from the oven, let cool, then store in Tupperwares or ziplocks in the freezer. So yummy! Enjoy! 🍹🍊🧡 xx J&J Ps: hope you’ll tune in on Tuesday at 18h on SIC Etnias to see us! #juliedeffense #recipe #oranges #aperolspritz #weekendvibes
