In the talk I will present the construction of a family {uε} of solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard equation {-}\varepsilon \Delta u_{\varepsilon}=\varepsilon^{-1}\left(u_{\varepsilon}-u_{\varepsilon}^{3}\right)-\ell_{\varepsilon}, \quad \ell_{\varepsilon} \in \mathbb{R} whose zero level set is prescribed and approaches, as ε → 0, a given complete, embedded, k-ended constant mean curvature surface. It is a joint work with Michal Kowalczyk. Moreover, I will present some classication results, dealing with properties such as boundedness, monotonicity and radial symmetry.
