Vintage Wedding - Scottish Rite, Hamilton

An antiqued cake with cameos, scrollwork and beautiful edible fall leaves in keeping with the season.

This cake was an "antique oval" shape, so pretty for this kind of cake.

September Birthday

A thanksgiving birthday cake for Laurie.  Sugar sunflowers and pumpkins with fall leaves arranged on a pumpkin spice cake.

Fall Bridal Shower

For a bridal shower with a fall theme and colours gold, brown, ivory and green.  We used a large chocolate bow and some cheerful sunflowers to kick off a very autumnal look.

Fall Wedding Cake

A perfect little cake for a fall wedding, rustic raffia ribbon in chocolate brown with sugar sunflower flourish and lots of hand painted fall leaves.

The cake was given a pretty touch with little Swiss dots.

Black and Orange - Paletta Mansions

This black and orange modern looking cake was created from a picture chosen by the bride.  Something with a little drama but an old fashioned elegant feel was just perfect for the century home in which the reception was held.

The bright orange flowers tied in the fall colours on the trees outside the window where it was displayed.  Perfect.

Fall Cake -

The first fall cake of 2010, a sure sign that September is here when everyone gets deeper and richer with colours and flavours.  I wish I knew what banquet centre this cake went to, but the brides grandmother came and picked it up.

Ferns and Primroses - Edgewater Manor

This two tiered cake was full of design accents that made it stunning. The cake had a double fondant ribbon around the bottom of each tier. Small sage beads trim the edges. All the flowers and ferns were hand made in chocolate.

The following day the bride wrote:

Hi Lynne,

The cake for yesterday at Edgewater Manor was stunning, not to mention delicious. We had many people come for seconds, and lots of 'to-go' boxes were taken to be enjoyed at home! It was exactly postively perfect, and I will be sure to send pictures of the set up, which I think complimented your work so beautifully.

Thank you again,

Leah

Heather's Fall Cake - Knollwood Golf and Country Club

Fall cakes make a seasonal centrepiece that compliments all styles of weddings. The rich colours of the season create a warm and woodsy wedding theme. At Knollwood the reception room is full of rich wood tones that looked beautiful with the warm cinnamon, amber, gold, burgundy and sage of the fall leaves that decorated both the cake and the room.

Sunflowers - Liuna Gardens, Winona

It's hard to believe that it's autumn already and the wedding themes are changing from summer flowers to fall leaves!

This cake was sponged with golden dust to create a soft ivory background. Fondant was swagged for a romantic fabric effect and sugar sunflowers, dusted with warm fall colours, were decorated with fall leaves and shiny red berries.

1st May, 2009

It's been the most hectic week, with last minute orders and last minute changes including a huge cake for the Montessori School's 10 Anniversary at Carmens Banquet centre.

All the cakes this week have been larger and more labour intensive than most cakes that I do, which is quite a challenge and very enjoyable but regretably my photographer has swanned off to Europe and can't take any decent shots of them!  I will have to make do with whatever my camera produces and these cakes will forever be like the famous fishing story....larger than life!

Susan's Thanksgiving Cake - Geraldos At La Salle Park

This fall cake was made for Susan's wedding.  After she wrote:

"Hi Lynne,

I am just getting around to sending these photos to you of the beautiful cake that you made for our Thanksgiving wedding.  One of my (many) favourite moments of my wedding day was when my sister and I snuck up the stairs at Geraldos before the ceremony to see how the hall was decorated and most of all how the cake looked!  We ran up those stairs in heels and full gowns (like two little school girls giggling) and ran into the room. We had spent 15 months planning my wedding together, so this was the unveiling moment!!  We were in absoulte awe of the cake and I was so pleased when I first saw it! It was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT sitting on the handmade cake stand!!!  Once the reception started, many of our guests came up to the head table to speak with us and comment on the exquisite cake and inquired as to who made such a beautiful cake and how fitting it was to our Thanksgiving weekend wedding!  

Even more compliments came once the cake was cut and placed on our sweet table (even though I didn’t want to cut into it because it was so beautiful to look at).  Many of our guests tried one piece and then came back for more!  They absolutely loved it and said that they had never had such moist wedding cake that tasted so great. Once all of the cake slices were gone, I even had a couple of guests go back up to the head table and steal another slice from the top layer that we were planning on saving for the next day at our gift opening!  I had to ask the staff to discreetly remove the top layer for fear of it being devoured.  The next day, all 30 of our house guests wanted another piece of the pumpkin spice cake from the top layer. So, we cut it all up and served it again to everyone!  

Both Rory and I would like to THANK-YOU for such a beautiful and divine tasting cake that was so perfect of our wedding!  

Susan"

Fall Cake - Carmen's Banquet Centre

This bride had a black and silver theme to her wedding and chose a black ornate scrollwork with parchment roses, blackberries and silver crystal details.

This was a stunning fall cake with lots of detail which looked wonderful in the crisp setting of the banquet hall.

Fall Cake With Berries -

This fall cake has a white fondant background with white scrollwork with fall leaves and berries added for extra effect.  The berries were varnished, as were the leaves, with an edible varnish to give them a 'wet' look.
