Harbourfront Fantasy Strawberry Shortcake Competition

We were so excited when we were asked by Harbourfront Center to participate in a live cake decorating competition during there strawberry festival over Canada Day long weekend. The theme was simple. Strawberries. Inside and out. We decided to go with a retro design on the outside and a very traditional vanilla bean cake with a decadent vanilla bean buttercream and tons of fresh sliced strawberries on the inside. So Yummy.

The rules were, you could bring your cake masked and covered due to time constraints. We pre-made half of our sugar hand sculpted strawberries and did the rest live in front of the audience and cameras. Are opponent was Ayoma of Ayoma cake masterpieces.

After an exciting few hours of cake decorating and answering questions from the audience and judges it was finally time to do the tasting and judging portion of the competition. We patiently wait for the winner to be announced and its us!!!.

Thanks so much to everyone at RedPath Sugar for sponsoring the competition and giving us lot of sugar to make our cakes with. We had tons of fun!

Zoom!

Happy Long Weekend!

Our Favourite Floral Cakes

Spring is finally here! Flowers are blooming which means it's the start of wedding season. Here are a few of our favourite floral cakes.

We love Scrabble too!

We love Scrabble and we love a cute couple.

A few months ago, our upstairs neighbour Eddy purchased a pair of Boo Dolls from our shoppe. He used them to propose to his lovely girlfriend Saara.





Naturally, she said YES and they asked us to make their wedding cake.







We had so much fun making this special Scrabble cake and cupcakes for their big day.






Congrats to Saara and Eddy.

Our Favourite Boy Cakes!

Here at The Wedding Cake Shoppe we make stunning feminine cakes. We also make pretty awesome male themed cakes. Although it seems a bit harder to do. Always more research for sure. I have compiled my favourite boy cakes we have made this past year. The thomas the train cake we made for Ushers sons birthday while he was touring the past summer.

This cake was for a guinea pig named squeak's funeral. The couple that ordered it were so sweet. He was red velvet and cream cheese icing.
