Bridal Shower Cake - Tiffany Box

This cake comes with a cute little story of a very proud aunt who is throwing a bridal shower for her niece.  It's not for me to divulge here, but it's a touching story of love.
This carrot cake was covered in delicious vanilla bean buttercream with Tiffany blue fondant and pearls, we gave it an extra touch of bling just for good measure!

Turquoise and Orange

This weeks personal favourite, something that was inspired by a cake that we've done before in pink and turquoise a kind of shabby chic meets Marie Antoinette for a first communion.

Sea Shells - Ancaster Old Mill

Destination weddings are more and more popular, so we find ourselves doing lots of sea shell cakes.  Here is just one of them that we recently delivered to the Ancaster Old Mill on a cold, windy day in March.
Anyone for a swim?

Turquoise and Gold

This cake shows off the elegance of deep rich colours matched with gold embellishments, topped with two love birds.  All gold work is edible (except for the topper) and is painted with real 24kt gold.

For anyone looking for a striking wedding colour which marries so beautifully with whites, ivories and blacks this has a really opulent look for those grand wedding receptions.

Quick Peek

Add caption
A quick peek into our new showroom.  We have started to set up and to create new cake designs to tempt you with as well as working on some new flavours and textures to delight you.

You can't miss us on James Street South with our huge pink sign at the front (which is being put up as I write).


Just in case I've not said it often enough, our opening hours are 10.30am to 6pm daily, other times by appointment (evenings and Saturday mornings available).  You may pop in with no prior arrangement, but if you would like a consultation and a tasting then it's usually best to let us know you're coming.


For those interested in seeing inside our preparation room, here are a couple of shots of when we were setting up.

The picture on the right shows just a fraction of the edible colours that we use and the picture on the left shows the number of spools of ribbon that we have to carry to cover everyone's colour scheme!  Next time we'll show you inside the area where all the baking and preparation goes on.

Bermuda Blue Wedding Cake - Ancaster Old Mill


When Rick and Judy first came to see me, they had very specific ideas about the theme and colour for their wedding cake.  Bermuda blue was their colour and shells and roses was the chosen theme.
Since a square cake (their initial idea) yields so many cake portions (their guest list wasn't that big) I suggested that they use a hexagonal cake pan, giving the yield of a round cake, but the angles of a square cake.  They loved the idea.
The shells were made of chocolate whilst the roses, orchids and blossoms ere made from sugar.  The flowers were dusted with colour and the shells dusted with iridescent shades of pink and blue tones.

After the wedding Rick wrote:

"Lynne,
Judy and I have returned from our fabulous Honeymoon and I wanted to let you know that the cake was absolutely the most beautiful edible art I have ever seen!
Our family and friends were impressed by not only the detail and workmanship, but by the great taste!  Thank you for making a special contribution to our big day. We will
cherish the photos of the cake forever.  AND, we still have the top section to enjoy during a summer Bar-B-Q.  A number of our guests have children with weddings in the future and
they are now aware of you, your work and your website.est wishes,
Rick"
