Keeping Busy!

A recent wedding cake for a sweet couple delivered to Liuna Station with Peggy, my intern who came all the way from the South of France to see how we make things at Let Them Eat Cakes.

This cake was created using antique poetry and picture frames as a theme and was all white and gold with a hint of silver (as was the decoration at the station).  A rococo theme is always opulent and stunning and we were delighted to be able to work together on this creation which took hours of hand painted 24k gold and silver dust on to sugar as well as sugar flowers and other detailed work.

Keep your eyes on these pages for more stunning cakes over the summer, we certainly have been lucky to work with such creative brides and amazing new colour schemes as the year has progressed.  We are so busy that it's hard to keep up with all the postings on the blog, but feel free to join our facebook page for more reviews, pictures and wedding ideas.

Birthdays

A giant cupcake to wish Sarah a happy birthday.  The client chose a pink velvet cake with a blackberry buttercream for the top.  We finished the cake with little sugar flowers and one great big cherry on top!

Stephanie, the birthday girl, loves shabby chic, lots of pink and girly things and of course flowers.  We designed this pretty pink cake with a garden feel to match the garden party that she was having with her friends.  Of course a pale pink vanilla cake inside with a raspberry buttercream made this cake as delicious as it was pretty.

A Few Cakes From This Week

A sweet sixteen cake all in pink and grey for this very special occasion!

A little birthday cake with a big blue bow.

For a travel themed wedding shower we made these two antique hat boxes with travel stamps all over it and finished with gold painted details to add shine and interest to this lovely cake.

Ah, for a body building enthusiast what do you make?  A cake with weights on the top and names of muscles to develop all the way around.  Even body builders eat cake son their birthday don't they Brian?

Needlework

This cake was made for a client whose wife is a seamstress and dress designer.  He wanated something that reflected the colours and texture of fabric that his wife works with every day and loves so much.  We made this two tiered cake with fabric (made of sugar of course) textured like lace.  We added stitching, zippers and buttons which told a story as you went around the cake.  We topped it all of with frangipini flowers which are the birthday girl's favourite flowers.

Retro Feel Anniversary Cake

This was a pink vanilla cake inside and on the outside the fondant was piped with royal icing to the specifications of the client which was the original wedding cake 25 years ago!  We love to do this kind of cake and for anniversaries the original cake is a wonderful design clue for us.  The top of the cake was decorated with pink roses and had a hand painted background.

Starry Night - VanGogh Did It First

First of all there was this "Starry Night" cake that was taken from a VanGogh painting especially for someone who loves VanGogh.  It was a tough assignment but we are rather proud of the end result.

Antique Style Cakes

We have made the vintage/antique style of cake our 'signature' using a special technique that we're keeping secret....sssshhh.

Here we have a small 4" round cake with white flowers and white decorations but have used gold as an accent to make this look like a vintage piece.

Summer Is Almost Here

After a very long and tiring Canadian winter we decided to start thinking about spring and summer with these new cake designs (actually back in February but we forgot to post them).

Juicy lemons with lots of green and a hint of pink.  This is a 6" round cake and serves 10 - 12 guests or even more if you cut really carefully!

The strawberry cake is a cool summer classic with white flowers and blue accents...does this remind you of lazy days beside the pool?

Also a 6" round cake as above and are part of our pre-designed collection at $70.00 each.

Golden Cake - Ancaster Old Mill

Hi Lynne,

Joel and I wanted to thank you for the absolutely beautiful and tasty cake you created for us. The level of detail and time you put into it certainly showed and we truly appreciate it! The flavor was a hit with our guests and we will cherish looking at the beautiful pictures of the cake for years to come. You are a true artist!

Best wishes,

Veronika & Joel Costa

Hookah, Shishe, Hubble Bubble......

......by any other name I'm sure it smells as sweet.

A little joke for a birthday we were asked for this cake.  Not really ever having seen one of these before made it difficult to design and decorate this cake, but a little internet research and we devised something that I'm sure will please our client.

Inside vanilla cake with champagne buttercream.

Small Wedding

Pale lilac and bling was the theme for this wedding, the bride was ecstatic when she came to pick up the cake and promised some pictures for us.

Tinkerbell Birthday Cake

We are not allowed to make licensed character cakes, but if you are familiar with our work you will know that we do often incorporate ready made licensed figurines into our cakes.  Here is a great example of that. 

We hand painted the cake with vines and rosebuds, then we added twinkle to Tinkerbell's wings as well ass assorted sugar flowers and glittered butterflies.

Shabby Chic - For Charity

The next one in our shabby chic trilogy is this one which was a cake we donated to a local nursing home where it was auctioned off for charity.

We tried out a new technique for making roses and included small blossoms, pearls and lace pieces, all edible of course.  The ivory background added to the vintage feel with the Swiss dot added for an extra lacy effect.

Purple and Ivory

This interesting little cake was fun to do.  I love antiquing cakes to make them look vintage Victorian.  This cake was decorated with large silk blooms that the bride chose, this created a very moody cake with lots of elegance and whilst it was a fairly small cake it had lots of presence.
