Before you ask

Five days is the minimum, and that is for a simpler celebration cake. Anything tiered or heavily detailed needs about two weeks, and so do cupcake sets and dessert tables. Weddings are different — I take only a handful each season and book two to three months ahead. If your date is sooner than that, ask anyway; sometimes a slot opens.

No — there is no shop, and nothing sits on a shelf waiting to be bought. I bake every cake by hand in my own kitchen and deliver it myself across Toronto and the GTA. Each one is designed and made to order for a single day, which is why everything is booked in advance rather than collected. If you would rather talk a design through before you commit, message me on WhatsApp.

Price follows three things: the number of servings, how much hand-work the design needs, and whether it involves sugar flowers or sculpted elements. Every quote is a firm number before you commit — nothing is estimated after the fact. I do not publish prices because no two commissions are the same; tell me what you have in mind and you will have a real figure within 24 hours.

I deliver everything myself across Toronto and the GTA. Delivery is included within Toronto; beyond the city it is quoted with the cake, based on distance and set-up time. Tiered cakes are assembled where they will be served rather than carried in finished.

A full flavour list comes with your quote. Nut-free and eggless cakes are available — tell me on the form and I will confirm what is possible. My kitchen is not a certified allergen-free facility, so I will always be straight with you about risk.

Thirty per cent holds the date, with the balance due the week of your event. The deposit is what reserves an oven slot that I then turn other work away for.

Tell me as early as you can. Dates can usually be moved up to two weeks before with no penalty. Inside that window the deposit covers ingredients already bought and the slot I can no longer fill.

I can work from it, but I would rather not copy it. A photograph is a useful starting point for a shape or a palette; the cakes I am happiest with are the ones designed around the person rather than reproduced from someone else's. Send the picture and tell me what you like about it.

Yes — cupcake sets, macarons and full styled tables, matched to the palette of your day. These need about two weeks' notice, the same as tiered work.
