Character cakes are always a hit at a child’s birthday party. If you’re the parent of a little one then you already know this. This Unicorn Birthday Cake was inspired by Goldie, the pet unicorn from Goldilicious,  the follow-up to New York Times bestselling Pinkalicious and Purplicious picture books by award winning illustrator and author Victoria Kann. The books were inspired by Victoria’s real life daughters – two girls with vibrant imaginations who love cupcakes, dress up, playing princess, and all things pink.

This Mini 3 Tier Wedding Cake travelled all the way to Ottawa for a winter wedding. It’s perfect for a smaller guest list while still maintaining that big wedding cake look. Each tier of this cake borrows from 3 separate cake designs. The different designs are tied together by the use of pearls accents on each tier, in the brooch and around the base of each tier. The entire cake is covered in off-white fondant with the accents ‘pearlized’ (dusted with pearl dust) and the bride’s silver wedding dress inspired the use of silver ribbon. The extra-large cake board and gathered fabric look of the fondant on the board creates more presence for this mini wedding cake.

The top tier of this cake features 3D sugar-flowers and leaves with vines piped on and accented with pearls. It was inspired by a cookie design that the couple found in a wedding cake magazine. On the top of this tier the initials of the bride and groom were piped on. The middle tier was done in a classic quilted pattern and the base tier was done in an equally classic Damask pattern.

Top Tier – 4 inch round Vanilla Raspberry Cake with Cointreau Buttercream

Middle Tier – 6 inch round Banana Chocolate Chip Cake with Light Chocolate Buttercream

The couple who ordered this Black and White Rose Wedding Cake wanted a design that was clean and elegant with a modern twist that matched their wedding colours (black, white and blue). Their wedding reception was held at the McLean House at the Estates of Sunnybrook in Toronto.

Top Tier – 6 inch round Hazelnut Cake with Dulche De Leche Buttercream

Middle Tier – 8 inch round Chocolate Cake with Kahlua Buttercream

Base Tier – 10 inch round White Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Buttercream

This 3 Tier Black and White Rose Wedding Cake provided 72 servings.

and Happy Fourth of July!

National pride was the theme of this wedding for a Canadian bride and her American groom. Both the Canadian and US flags are tear-away cupcake cakes and the 3 tier centerpiece is a heart-shaped Canada Wedding Cake that was accented with patriotic red and white maple leaf ribbon. This wedding reception was held at the Port Whitby Marina which has a beautiful view of Whitby Harbour.

The pull-apart Canadian Flag Cupcake Cake was made from 24 Lemon Cupcakes with a Strawberry Buttercream center. The US Flag Cupcake Cake was made from 24 Chocolate Cupcakes with a Caramel Buttercream center. Both cupcake cakes are topped with coloured Vanilla Buttercream.

Top Tier – 6 inch heart White Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Hazelnut Buttercream

Middle Tier – 8 inch heart Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Filling

Base Tier – 10 inch heart Styrofoam dummy

This 3 Tier Canada Wedding Cake and the flag cupcake cakes provided 52 servings.

For her outdoor summer wedding by the shores of Lake Ontario in Whitby, this bride wanted an elegant cake design with lots of ivory roses to match her wedding colours and flowers. This Ivory Rose Wedding Cake was covered with ivory fondant and had a quilted design on the top and bottom tiers. The design on the middle tier was piped with royal icing and painted with liquid pearl. The darker ivory piping on the base of the top and bottom tier and the row of roses on the middle tier were done in buttercream. Ivory sugar roses on top and our round silver cake stand completed the look.

All 3 Tiers (6, 8 and 10 inch round cake combination) were Vanilla Bean Cake with Vanilla Buttercream and provided 72 servings.

Fondant drapes are a beautiful, traditional design for wedding cakes that are made to look like folds and swags of fabric draped over or around the cake. For a modern touch, the white fondant drapes on this Calla Lily Wedding Cake were accented with clusters of dark purple sugar calla lilies. Sugar pearls on each tier finish the classic look.  The wedding reception was held at The Fairmont Royal York Hotel in downtown Toronto.

Top Tier – 6 inch round Vanilla Bean Cake with Dulce De Leche Buttercream

Middle and Base Tiers – 8, 10, and 12 inch round Styrofoam dummies.
