Crown Cake

This crown cake was ordered by a sister for her brother's yearly event.

We are getting there...




We are still working on our consultation/showroom and this picture shows the progress we are making. Still waiting for the furniture and working on the display cakes.
For some reason, the colour of the wall is purple and not the rose we thought we ordered. Guess, we just have to live with that. We'll keep you posted

Shopping Bag Cake

We got a request from a client who lives in New York to make this cake for her birthday. She was  celebrating with friends in Toronto. Each side of the bag bears the name of the two cities she has strong ties to. The cake is all edible - shopping bag, tissue, and pearl neccklace.
The inspiration came from a cake by Pink Cake Box. Here is our version.
