Cutting the wedding cake is a classic tradition that happens at almost all wedding receptions. Over the years, cakes have evolved from functional desserts to artistic and decadent masterpieces! We reached out to some of Toronto’s favourite Cake Designers and asked them to share their favourite wedding cake designs from this year with us. We only have one question – how can anyone possibly cut into these stunning pieces of art? Good thing they’re as delicious as they are beautiful!

“This elegant fondant stacked cake showcases our handmade flowers, gold brushed techniques, and the gold sequins. We love this cake because it is colourful and elegant — a perfect display piece for any summer wedding! This beautiful design was developed and created by the owners of Simply Frosted, Enza and Vanessa Abate, and all the beautiful artwork was created and assembled by the talented fondant artist Demi Meneses!”

“This couple wanted a a rich, jewel toned, artsy cake and sweet table. I designed the cake to match the architecture of the Gallery where the wedding was held, which was very rich in character and had a very unique stair case. Definitely a favourite from this year’s wedding season!”

“Dreaming of French patisseries and English gardens, I had the opportunity of creating a dream cake of all my bride’s favourite things. Pastries that were not only visual eye candy but delicious. The cake was designed with Toronto based artist Anna Church in mind, her sculptography inspired the placement of relief moulding, sugar flowers, and teatime fare. Soft pastels and accents of gold lent well to this chic and whimsical design. The flavour inside just as dreamy as the outside — Lady Earl Grey infused cake paired with peach and honey cream!”

“This is one of our favourite designs from the 2015-16 wedding season. Called “Pastel Garden”, the cake is absolutely breathtaking without being at all showy. We love its very delicate ombre shading in pastels, set off by hand crafted sugar flowers in deep, rich jewel tones. This cake really demonstrates the skill and techniques of our cake design team.”

“This romantic, elegant cake spoke to the grandeur of this beautiful wedding incorporating the Bride’s vision! Gold and blush pink was accented with green leaves. The custom shaped and hand-painted monogram took hours to create — we replicated the monogram used on their invitations! The design is hand painted in edible 24k gold lace which added a regal element. A perfect cake for a sweet couple!”

“We adored creating a cake for Zac & Gina’s fairy-tale wedding. For a couple who loved the idea of a naked cake, but who’s wedding was much too glam for such a simple cake, we combined the simplicity of a nearly naked cake with a glam marble design to create a cake as enchanting as their wedding day. We dressed this cake with stunning fresh florals, beautiful hand lettering, and silver leaf — this was one wedding that we that we won’t soon forget.”

“This wedding cake is one of my favourites from this wedding season. The couple had given me complete creative freedom to design something that was unique and elegant with a romantic flare. So I created a design that was intricate, yet well balanced with the rest of cake, all while keeping the allure of the delicate sugar flowers. The couple was over the moon with the design and taste!”

” We gave this classic three-tier wedding cake some edge with a black damask pattern. I think a sugar peony ties it all together. We loved creating this cake!”

“This beautiful cake incorporated some of my favourite detailing, from the intricate rosette ruffling, to the lush, handmade, sugar florals! I love incorporating gilded gold embellishments; paired with red and ivory, this is definitely a classic yet gorgeous colour combination!”

“This tall wedding cake was created as part of a styled shoot collaboration inspired by Chinese tea ceremonies in a Western culture. I wanted to focus mainly on delicate tiny sugar flowers and painting to coincide with the delicacy of a Chinese tea ceremony. I created lots of movement with the koi fish and water, along with contrasting still life oyster shells.”

“Angela and her sisters were so excited to design and plan the wedding cake. Classic and elegant, this cake stood 7 tiers tall with blush and pink sugar flowers, gold leaf tiers, quilting, and hand piped designs to match their invitation. Inside was layers of red velvet cake, fresh strawberry cake, and vanilla bean, with vanilla bean swiss meringue buttercream. Definitely one of our favourites from 2016!”

“I recently had the pleasure of designing cakes for my very own wedding. I knew I wanted to incorporate the essence of romance into my cakes. I used elements such as lace, greenery, and lush florals to add both softness and elegance to the cakes. My main cake stood well over 6ft tall and was composed of 9 layers of cake and 2 layers of handmade sugar florals and greenery. After designing hundreds of cakes for clients I was happy to finally have the opportunity to have my cake and eat it too!”
