At this time, details about Nicholas Lodge cause of death are not public. Funeral arrangements are also yet to be announced.

Before his passing, Chef Nicholas Lodge was one of the foremost Master Cake Artists in the world. According to his website, when Nicholas began training as a pastry chef, he had no idea how far the field of sugar art would eventually lead him, or that it would introduce him to royalty and celebrities, and transport him around the globe.

Nicholas was born in Essex, England, and became interested in cookery and cake decorating at an early age. He would design his first cake for his parent’s anniversary when he was 10 years old.

Upon leaving school, Nicholas Lodge worked in a bakery as a cake decorator to gain practical experience and commercial speed in decorating. He was then offered a position at The National Bakery School of England, located in London, where he completed a two-year course in cake decorating and design.

After gaining distinctions in all his assignments and examinations, Nicholas received the award for the Most Outstanding Cake Decorating Student at his graduation.

Moving rapidly to even higher achievements, Nicholas became Principal Wedding Cake Designer at Woodnutts, one of England’s top sugar art schools. There he created cakes for high-end London hotels, including Claridges, The Ritz, and The Savoy.

After two years at Woodnutts, at the young age of 21, Nicholas became the tutorial manager at Mary Ford’s School in Bournemouth, another top sugar art school.

During this time, Nicholas and a team of decorators were commissioned to do work for England’s royal family and other celebrities. Most notably, this included one of the official wedding cakes for Lady Diana and Prince Charles in 1981.

Nicholas later reproduced this royal wedding cake while the Prince and Princess of Wales toured Tokyo, Japan. Nicholas was also commissioned to create cakes for the Queen Mother’s 80th birthday and the christening of Prince Harry.

In 1985, Nicholas wrote his first book, and as his reputation increased, additional books followed. Currently, Nicholas has written over a dozen books and produced numerous instructional DVDs. He has co-authored many books with other sugar artists, and has acted as an expert consultant to publishers of sugar art books written by other authors.

In 1991, the state of Georgia became home to Nicholas after he relocated from the United Kingdom. He soon after became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

Before his death, Nicholas had been sharing his knowledge and skills through classes, books, and DVDs for over 35 years. Nicholas, and business partner Scott Ewing, founded The International Sugar Art Collection (ISAC) and The International School of Sugar and Confectionary Arts in 1992.

Nicholas spent his spare time searching for new and innovative ideas that can be introduced and adapted into cakes and sugar art. Part of this inspiration came from his love of gardening, fashion, and interior design.
