We were planning a retirement celebration for a coworker and we knew we wanted a 'cake boss' style cake but didn't have a clue where to go.
I searched the web and found different companies that provided this type of cake and honestly, what made me choose For The Love of Cake was how functional and well put together their website was. I figured, they clearly have their $#!& together.
I spoke with Genevieve and threw some random ideas at her and she emailed me a couple of sample ideas and an estimated quote. I was sold! We finalized the design and off she went! Genevieve was flexible enough to accept a few tweaks I had along the way and on the day of the party, the cake with delivered in all it's glory.
I was absolutely amazed at how well it came out. It was exactly as I had hoped but better than I expected. I've watched shows such as Cake Boss and Food Network Challenge and I've seen what can be done but I never expect that a shop in Toronto that I found online would be able to product the same quality of workmanship. It was almost a shame to have to cut into it... ohhh but we did!
I had selected a vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream filing between the layers. The cake itself was quite dense but I would imagine that it needs to be to support the decoration. This filing... oh the filling! It definitely made the cake and actually took away from the density making it a 'lighter' cake in taste. Absolutely delicious!
I was very happy with the outcome and would definitely order from her again.
