We make all of our cakes, Italian Meringue buttercream, chocolate ganache, mousse, lemon curd, and frostings from scratch in our licensed Ottawa bakery. We do not use any mixes or artificial flavours in our cakes. We use only top quality ingredients, fresh eggs, cream, and butter (no margerine or shortening), pure Madagascan vanilla, Cacoa Barry chocolate and Cacoa Barry cocoa. The only commercially made products that we use are fondant and sugar paste (simply because good companies that specialize in these products make them better than we can, and we buy the top quality brands so they taste good).

Each custom cake design varies in the time required to create it. Some designs that you request may cost our starting point price, while others will be far more labour intensive and therefore cost more. We supply you with a price quote once we have discussed the cake you would like for your event and how many people it needs to serve. If you have a budget in mind, please let us know and we will do our best to design your cake around that budget. Cakes can be tiered, we can create sugar flowers, cake jewellery, create fantastical fondant and sugar paste figures, or we can sculpt your cake into just about anything. For weddings or large events, a themed cake with co-ordinating cupcakes often work beautifully together.

Prices for our cakes start at $6 a serving. Prices of cakes are worked out individually based on size and time requirements for decoration.

Our serving size is a generous 10 cu. in
(5" x 2" x 1" )

8" round - serves 25+
9" round - serves 32 +
10" round - 39+
12" round - 56 +

6" and 8" tiered cake - serves  39 +
6" and 9" tiered cake - serves 46 +

8" square - serves 32+
10" square - serves 50 +

Cakes for larger number of servings are available in multiple tiers
Quotes supplied on request.

Our cakes are 4 layer cakes, filled and frosted with variations of buttercream, ganache or whipped cream fillings and covered with ganache or buttercream or fondant - then decorated beautifully. The cakes are supplied on a beautiful royal icing coated, ribboned board.
If elaborate decoration, fondant covering, cake sculpting, additional tiering, cake jewellery, handpainted plaques, hand made sugar decorations, sugar or fresh flowers are required for your design, additional charges will apply. This is discussed with you when you call to order.

Serving sizes vary depending on how the cake is sliced, so you may get more or less servings from your cake.
15 cu. inches per slice - 1.5" x 2" x 5" - party cake size
10 cu. inches per slice - 1" x 2" x 5" - dessert cake size
Wedding cake servings are generally cut smaller than the above sizes, therefore providing more servings per cake.
For example - - 1" x 1" x 5" (5 cu. in) serving size doubles our suggested serving size on our cakes.

Our main cake flavours are:
deep delicious chocolate, luscious lemon, marvellous carrot, & velvet vanilla.
Our icings are:
chocolate ganache, Italian Meringue buttercreams in a variety of flavours, and cream cheese frosting.
Fillings for cakes can be:
various flavours of buttercream, chocolate, mousse, lemon curd, chocolate ganache, white chocolate cream cheese, cookies and cream, whipped cream . . . .

Many flavours of cake, frosting and fillings can be incorporated into our cakes. Please let us know if you would like something other than what we have listed - we are happy to make any cake flavour or filling you would like.
Please note: certain fillings and/or frostings or fondant will work better than others in outdoor or heat sensitive locations as well as in certain sculpted or tiered cakes. This is discussed with you when you are requesting a quote.

Hi Kate:
I wanted to thank you for doing such a fabulous job on the cake for my mother-in-law. It was not only beautiful, but it tasted wonderful -- I think I have found my new favourite cake. If you can imagine, we did not have a slice of cake or cupcake left. It was all eaten!
Thanks again for doing such a great job and I will gladly recommend you to all of my friends

Your cake stole the celebration. All of the guests and celebrants would not stop talking about the appearance, the texture and the taste. Fabulous cake and the frosting ...
Thank you again for the wonderful design and all who attended were inspired.
Regards
Peter


Well Kate...what a phenomenal cake! It made the whole night really special! It was the centerpiece of my party and people could NOT stop talking about it. I felt like it needed protection like a priceless piece of art! Here are some of the many comments I heard. amazing!, stunning! incredible, did someone make that? Is it real?... my reply.... yes... but we only get to eat it after I play it! I hated to cut it! I had to close my eyes and it wasn't because I was making a wish. Everyone said it tasted like food from the heavens!
I want you to know that I was absolutely thrilled with that cake masterpiece. I got lots of photos, I am sure you have your own but I will send them anyway. I managed to save the headstock and pick-ups and I am freezing them for later....
P.S. your note was very very funny
Thanks again,
Tara
