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 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.

This 2 tier chocolate wedding cake was designed to have each tier displayed on 2 lovely carved stands from Africa which the client provided. Cream coloured royal icing scrolls and ribbons accented these chocolate fondant covered cakes. Both tiers were chocolate on the inside as well and filled with layers of dulce de leche buttercream.

This 2 tier vegetarian wedding cake was accented with handmade gumpaste roses and a hot pink grosgrain ribbon. A touch of lustre dust added a lovely shimmer to both the roses and the white vanilla fondant. Both tiers were a light vanilla cake filled with raspberry preserves and vanilla buttercream.

At a recent cake tasting, some wonderful clients took pictures of my cakes and buttercream fillings and I thought I would share.  This picture was taken by my first client, a very talented jewelery designer,  who posted all her pictures and comments about her cake tasting for her wedding cupcakes on her blog.  She is creating some gorgeous custom pearl bracelets for me that I can’t wait to show everyone!

This 3 tier vegetarian wedding cake was displayed and served in a Hindu temple. The cake was a light orange vanilla sponge cake with a whipped citrus flavoured buttercream covered with an eggless royal icing with chocolate vines.

These vanilla sugar cookies with vanilla royal icing were the perfect start to wedding season!

“The cookies were a hit, everybody loved them and I totally love the way you decided to decorate them, good call. And they tasted great, I had about 17 left and have eaten like 3 of them already…”

On March 26th,  we participated in the Purple Day festivities that was hosted by Epilepsy Durham at The Lake House in Pickering (which is a beautiful location for a wedding btw!). The event was Epilepsy Durham’s first annual ‘A Dream Inspired’ Cocktail Reception and Art Auction featuring talented local artists. 

For the attendees, we provided delicious Cake Balls (also known as Cake Truffles) which are made of moist cake and decadent buttercream covered with chocolate. Thanks for the tips Bakerella!

Each attendee also recieved a yummy chocolate sugar cookie topped with mint icing and sparkling sugars. Double Yum!

This bridal shower cake was a take on those special blue boxes we love to receive. The first layer was red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and the second was vanilla butter cake filled with lots of fresh strawberries and vanilla buttercream.

“The cake was a huge success! Nobody wanted us to cut into it because it was so beautiful but we did and really enjoyed the cake. Thanks so much!”

These vanilla sugar cookies were baked on lollipop sticks and packaged in clear cellophane bags with satin ribbons, making them perfect for a cookie bouquet!
