Hi, I’m Sachiko Windbiel, the founder of mimicafe Union.

 

I’m based in Santa Monica, California, where I work as a Figure Sculptor, Cake Topper Designer, and International Instructor. I specialize in creating custom cake toppers and handcrafted figures that capture personality, emotion, and life’s most meaningful moments.

 

Originally from Japan, I discovered my passion for figure sculpting through cake decorating. Inspired by manga, animation, and everyday human expressions, I developed a style that blends realistic likeness with warmth, storytelling, and attention to detail.

 

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of creating custom commissions for clients around the world while teaching hands-on figure sculpting workshops throughout the United States and internationally. Whether working with beginners or experienced artists, I love helping people build confidence, learn new techniques, and experience the joy of creating with their own hands.

 

My mission is simple:

 

Spread Joy.

 

Whether I’m sculpting a one-of-a-kind wedding topper, bringing a favorite character to life, or sharing techniques in a classroom filled with laughter, I believe every handmade figure tells a story and creates a lasting memory.

 

Through mimicafe Union, I hope to inspire creativity, bring people together, and share the joy of figure sculpting with communities around the world.
