About LIberty Market:
The Liberty Market has a great variety of unique boutiques, service providers, restaurants and shops. Merchants line a cobblestone pedestrian walkway, each with something different to offer. The Liberty Market is in the heart of Liberty Village and is a large tourist destination.
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!
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.
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.
As all of our cakes are custom made to order we can create just about anything. Whether you have a pink frilly cake in mind for your daughter’s first birthday or a Ninja Turtle cake for your son’s 5th birthday, we can help. As custom cakes take time to create and the more detail on the cake means more time spent, the cost of the cake will reflect this. So, if you initially are quoted for a full 3D cake and it doesn’t work into your budget we can always make recommendations for alternated designs that may work for you and your budget. Below are some great kid’s birthday cakes that we have pulled from our galleries. If you don’t see the cake you’re looking for, just email us a photo and we can design a cake just for you! Even if you don’t have a specific design in mind, let us know what your child likes and how old they’ll be and we can create something just for you.
Back in the fall of 2009 I had the pleasure of working with Tia and Tamera Mowry on the set of the Lifetime movie “Double Wedding”. Not only was I the on set cake consultant, but I created the “shoe cake” which is featured in the movie’s trailer and I was asked by the director to be an extra in the “cake competition” scene. Here are a few photos from the set as well as the “shoe cake”. I do have to say that it was a delight working with both Tia and Tamara. They are so nice! The movie will air on the Lifetime network in the US Sunday, June 20th 2010. You can view the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujk_YPCX7gI
This past Sunday, April 25th I entered my very first, not only cake competition, but live cake competition. It was held at Bonnie Gordon School Annual Cake Show. I was up against Bonnie’s own cake designer Isabelle.
I went into this competition knowing that I was up against 2 people with way more experience than me but was completely up for the challenge. Was I nervous? Yes. As Patricia and I rolled, covered, cut and draped fondant and gum paste over our blank cake forms with a bit of sweat building up on our faces our competitors took their time delicately painting the trim and detail work previously done on their cake. It did stressed me out every time I looked to my left and saw what seemed to be, yet another, finished tier having appeared mysteriously from somewhere under their table. That didn’t stop Patricia and I though. We worked our tails off and through the stress, pressure, sweat, sore backs, arms and feet we accomplished what we set out to do. In 5 hours we produced the cake we had designed and although we worked down to the very last second and some elements were quite rushed and rough towards the end I really think that we did a heck of a job. I really would have liked to have seen what our competitors would have been able to do in the 5 hours having started from scratch like we did. Was it fun? Looking back on it, yes, but in the moment, not so much! Will I do another live challenge? Sure, but not right away. I really do think that the crowd enjoyed it too, as they were crammed around our table non-stop and couldn’t keep their eyes off what we were doing.
Did I win, maybe not but in my mind and of those in attendance the real winners were Patricia and I for having been able to pull off our cake in only 5 hours with our level of experience. Below are some photos from the competition of Patricia and I hard at work. Thank you to all of our supporters and those of you who stood by us and watched up work and gave us words of encouragement.
So it’s spring again which means it’s time for the Bonnie Gordon School’s ‘The Cake Show’ and this year I’ve had the honour of being asked to participate in the Live Cake Design Challenge. This means my assistant, Patricia, and I have 5 hours to complete a magnificent cake taking into account the theme – A wedding at Versailles. We are up against Bonnie Gordon’s own cake designer Isabelle Loiacono. This event is open to the public and takes place this coming Sunday, April 25th 12-5pm at the Artscape Wychwood Barns on Christie just south of St Claire.

Come out and support us in our live design challenge. Hope to see you there.
