How a cake comes together

01 · The base

Three sponges, baked the day before.

Vanilla bean, dark chocolate or lemon olive oil. Rested overnight so they slice clean and stay moist.

02 · The filling

Real fruit, real cream.

Ontario berries in season, lemon curd, salted caramel or ganache between every layer.

03 · The finish

Swiss meringue, not sugar paste.

Silky buttercream or cream cheese frosting, finished by hand and topped the morning you collect.

04 · Yours

Built in 48 hours.

Choose size, flavour, filling and message below. We confirm by text and have it boxed at your pickup time.

Our bakers

Up at three so you don't have to be.

Mireille

Head baker. Twelve years of laminating dough; still tastes every batch of croissants.

Tomasz

Bread lead. Keeps the 11-year-old starter alive and the rye properly sour.

Adaeze

Cakes. Every custom order passes her bench; she pipes the messages by hand.

FAQ

Allergens, lead times, tax.

Is anything nut-free?
We bake with almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and sesame in one kitchen, so we can't promise anything is free of traces. Items made without nut ingredients are marked; the cake builder warns you when you pick a nut filling.
Do you make gluten-free cakes?
Our almond sponge is made without wheat flour ("gluten-friendly"), but it is baked alongside wheat. It isn't suitable for celiac disease.
How far ahead do I order a cake?
48 hours for custom cakes, 72 hours for catering and two-tier cakes. Need something sooner? Call 416 555 0128; we often have whole cakes in the case.
Why is HST on some pastries and not others?
Under CRA rules, whole cakes, pies and loaves are zero-rated basic groceries. Single pastries bought in quantities of fewer than six are taxable at 13%. Buy six or more and they're zero-rated too. Your order total shows this automatically.
Can I change or cancel?
Free changes and cancellations up to 24 hours before pickup. After that, custom cakes are charged in full because they're already baked.
