What is a King Cake?

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

History of King Cakes

Epiphany, celebrated in European countries, marks the coming of the wise men who brought gifts to the Christ Child. Epiphany is also called Little Christmas on the Twelfth Night, and is celebrated twelve nights after Christmas. People from all of the world celebrate Epiphany by exchanging gifts and feasting. A very popular custom that is still celebrated is the making of the “King’s Cake” which represents the three kings who brought gifts. A plastic baby is baked inside the King Cake, and the tradition is whoever receives the baby in their piece of cake must buy the next King Cake or throw the next party. King Cakes are made of a cinnamon filled dough in the shape of a hollow circle. The cake is topped with a delicious glazed topping and then sprinkled with colored sugar. The three colors of the sugar are Purple (representing Justice), Green (representing Faith) and Gold (representing Power). Today the King Cakes are baked with a wide assortment of fillings inside the cake. King Cake is the preferred dessert and snack in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Hundreds of thousands of King Cakes are eaten in New Orleans during the Carnival season. Many are shipped throughout the U.S. for those displaced New Orleanians longing for a taste of Mardi Gras. In fact, a Mardi Gras party wouldn’t be a Mardi Gras party without a King Cake.

Custom Cupcakes in Toronto

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

Not only can you walk into our bakery and selection from a wide variety of cupcake flavours and walk out with one to eat on the way home or a dozen for a special event but you can order custom cupcakes.

We do custom cupcakes for all occasions whether it’s a child’s or adult’s birthday, a bridal or baby shower, engagement, wedding, bachelorette party or graduation. If you can think of an occasion we can make a custom cupcake.

Custom cupcakes can range from $3.50 each for simply adding writing or numbers to $25 for having an edible, hand-sculpted race car on top. The cost is determined by the amount of work which goes into the custom items for each cupcake.

We also sell cupcake stands/towers to display anywhere from 30-300 cupcakes for your event. Stands range from $25 – $65 depending on the size.

There is no minimum order for customized cupcakes and we deliver within Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville…wherever your budget allows!

Purse, shoe and fashion cakes

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

It seems these days that everything is about fashion, so why shouldn’t your next cake be too!

There are so many labels out there that I can hardly keep up. From Gucci, Chanel, Prada, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Betsy Johnson, Manolo Blahnik and Alexander McQueen, we’ve done them all! Fashionable cakes are not just for women either. I’m sure that you can think of at least one man in your life who ‘suits up’ on a regular basis or has a favourite pair of designer jeans or a neck tie.

So what better design for a cake then a combination of what they love. For her it could be a purse with a shoe and all of the ‘essentials’ she would carry in her purse. For him, maybe an edible figure of the guy in your life dressed to the nines on a cake that looks like a pair of designer jeans with a tie draped over it or even a giant wristwatch.

Just let us know who the cake is for, what colours they love and which designer items they either have or would die for and we’ll come up with a totally personalized design.

 

City/travel cakes

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Recently we have had the opportunity to create many cakes for birthdays and weddings with specific city themes like Paris, New York and Toronto as well as general travel.

If you’re finding it difficult to come up with a design for a special occasion cake then why not look at where you’re from, where you live and where you’ve enjoyed traveling. Not every cake has to be a boring/typical round or square cake! It’s always more fun to have a cake look like the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, Ayers Rock, or a famous skyscraper!

Whether you have a friend who is originally from Australia and is celebrating a birthday, are hosting a famous musician visiting Toronto for his 80th birthday, having a Parisian theme wedding, got engaged in NYC, have a coworker moving out of the country or want a celebration cake to reflect your many travels we can design a cake to suit your need.
