The 2009 Fall Wedding Show hosted by Durham Wedding Source was a huge success! We met so many great brides and vendors, enjoyed the fashion show, and snacked on scrumptious hors d’oeuvres courtesy of the Ajax Convention Centre. We would like to congratulate Teresa Fryer, winner of our Bridal Shower Cake Draw, and thank everyone that entered. Last year’s winner of the draw chose a white two tiered chocolate cake decorated in a winter theme with snowflakes, red ribbon and an edible red rose. We’ll be sure to feature this year’s winner after her bridal shower. Our new website will be up soon with our flavor and pricing info and we’d like to invite you to contact us for a complimentary cake tasting.  

As a sidenote about tradeshows I think it’s a good idea for brides to print return addressed labels to use when entering contests at the show. Almost every vendor at the show has a draw of some sort. If you are intent on maximizing on these contests then having pre-made contact labels is going to save you the trouble of writing out your info 40 times AND the time it takes to wait for a pen to become available. I also strongly reccomend bringing a friend to the wedding show. There is so much to see and it can be a really fun day that you’ll want to share.

These cake truffles which we delivered to Le Treport in Mississauga were part of a unique wedding favour which included a charitable donation made in the name of the couple’s wedding guests. Featured above are truffles coated with milk chocolate and make with chocoalte cake and dulce de leche buttercream.

“Just wanted to say that the cake truffles turned out amazing. The packaging was very simple, yet elegant and went with my theme perfectly. We had alot of compliments on how great the truffles tasted, alot of impressed guests. The only problem, there was SO MANY yummy flavours to choose from. It was the perfect thing to go with our donation as our wedding gift. The was an absolute pleasure working with you again. I look forward to future business with you!!!                                                       A. DeMelo

This 19^th birthday cake was decorated with traditional henna (mehndi) designs in red royal icing and covered with a layer of black fondant. This rich chocolate cake was filled with layers of peanut butter buttercream and nutella buttercream. The red monogram cake topper is made out of chocolate tinted red.

Completely vegan, this was our take on the hummingbird cake. It was made with carrots, bananas, coconut and chopped nuts with a light sweet lemon filling.

For this dinosaur birthday party we created an eploding volcano cake with chocolate lava and dinosaur cookies. Matching dinosaur cupcakes covered in green and blue vanilla fondant made up of vanilla and chocolate cake added to the theme. The volcano lemon coconut cake was filled with vanilla buttercream and the chocolate dinosaur cookies were iced with vanilla royal icing. 

The green baby stroller on this cake is a chocolate replica of the design on the baby shower invitations. Pink and white sugar flowers with sugar pearls and purple fondant stars were added to the top and around the sides of the chocolate cake which was filled with fresh whole raspberries and vanilla buttercream.

This lime green polka dot confirmation cake has little crosses impressed into the white fondant polka dots that are scattered among the dots of purple and lilac. White chocolate letters coloured a bright purples and a ribbon bow finishes off the design. This 10″ square was a chocolate cake filled with fresh raspberries and vanilla buttercream.

This daisy wedding cake was inspired by Martha Stewart Wedding’s Sweet Little Daisies Wedding Cake. Lots of white daisies made out of sugar cascade over the top and sides of this vanilla fondant covered wedding cake. The flavour for all tiers was vanilla butter cake filled with layers of fresh strawberries and vanilla bean buttercream.
