Welcome to Faux Sweets!
Hi I'm Mae! Founder and designer of FAUX SWEETS, a Los Angeles-based studio where I create handcrafted fake desserts and decorative food art. After leaving my career in banking, I followed my passion for creativity—drawing inspiration from Japanese fake food culture and the elegance of French pâtisseries. My goal is to capture the beauty of sweets in a playful, guilt-free way that brings joy to any space.
