Chef Begum Arda
New Jersey-based chef Begum Arda’s career as a cake designer has taken a huge step forward in the spring of 2024, as she has been commissioned to craft a cake for a baseball ace. Chef Begum has been asked to bake a one-off cake for Dwight ‘Doc’ Gooden, the former New York Mets pitcher widely regarded as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
Her creation is delivered to Gooden’s retirement ceremony dinner event in New York, during which the famed number 16 jersey he wore during his time as a 3-time World Series Champion with the Mets, will be taken out of circulation.
With well over a decade of professional experience and a knack for mixing art and taste, Chef Begum has proved more than equal to the challenge and is by far the best woman for the job.
Citing French pastry chef Jacques Torres’ early TV show her key inspiration, she graduated from a professional pastry school in her early twenties and went on to become a “flying chef” for one of the world’s largest catering companies.
Traveling to different countries, working at major events in some incredible kitchens, and undertaking cake decoration masterclasses in countries all over Europe gave her valuable experience and offered a sweet taste of chef life.
Since settling in New Jersey, Chef Begum has continued to hone her increasingly popular cake-designing skills. Being asked to bake for one of the greatest-ever baseball players is proof of both of her natural skills and her rising reputation.
