Marj Santaromana is a 36-year-old artist. Her passion for creating edible art began after discovering cake decorating shows and competitions on television. She went on to perfect her craft at the French Culinary Institute, earning a diploma in the pastry arts.
Her nerdy, pop culture-centric cakes and original gingerbread-wrestler cookies caught the attention of the SyFy Channel and were featured in their Fan Creator mini-docs. Marj has also competed in the Disney+ show “Foodtastic,” and was featured behind the scenes on the Roku Original “Eye Candy.” Her wedding cake designs have been featured in publications such as The Knot and Rock ‘n Roll Bride.
Marj has been a pro-wrestling fan since childhood, and couldn’t be happier to actually be able to make wrestling the focus of much of her art. She started making a name for herself in the wrestling community by producing enamel pins, which can be found on her Etsy among other products. Marj even got the opportunity to combine her two passions by creating the official cake for WWE Monday Night Raw’s 25th Anniversary. She has even been dubbed “Mick Foley’s Personal Baker” by the legend himself. When she’s not busy decorating pastries, Marj spends her spare time designing logos and merchandise for professional wrestlers and wrestling retailers alike. Her clients have included Orange Cassidy, Big Van Vader, Chris Hero, Effy, Chris Dickinson, Lio Rush, Nick Gage, 44.Oh, Nancy Benoit, and more!
Marj also enjoys karaoke, playing Dance Dance Revolution, cosplaying at various comic-cons, collecting toys, watching marathons of Law & Order: SVU. She was born and bred in Staten Island, New York, but as of 2019 resides in Richmond, Virginia. She is celebrating 7+ years of sobriety from alcohol.
