Cakes for Any Occasion

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

We at Bridal Fantasy have seen hundreds and perhaps even thousands of lovely cakes over the years, but even so, new cakes from different designers still never cease to amaze us. And it is always quite nice when we get updates from our Bridal Fantasy exhibitors on their current projects and new ideas they have. Angela Dufault from The Cake Topper recently just sent over to us a few shots of cakes she’s done and we just had to share. From simple and sweet to exquisitely detailed and refined, it seems that you can get a cake made for any occasion.

Take a look and tell us which you like best! I can’t decide which I like best . . . the 3-tiered cake with the huge engagement ring cake toppers, the 3-tiered autumn berry cake, or the black fondant covered cake loaded with diamonds . . . so glamorous! Diamonds are supposed to be a girl’s best friend ;)

To inquire about getting a cake done by The Cake Topper, email Angela Dufault at thecaketopper@hotmail.com!

Cakes that ARE Too Nice to Slice

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Founder and master decorator Chrissie Boon of ‘Too Nice to Slice’ cake shop truly creates cakes that are literally too nice to slice. ‘Too Nice to Slice’ makes custom cakes to satisfy their clients’ exact desires. The Kitchener Ontario cake maker has earned international attention, with cakes featured in numerous international cake magazines such as Wedding Cakes a Design Source and Wedding Ring Magazine. As well, ‘Too Nice to Slice’ recently won the WeddingWire 2010 Bride’s Choice Award for Wedding Cakes on February 9, 2010. This award recognizes and celebrates the “excellence and quality service within the wedding industry, as determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 500,000 newlyweds.” These edible pieces of art will surely amaze any person at your party. So whatever the event, make sure to visit ‘Too Nice to Slice’ cake shop to have a cake custom made and designed to fit your exact occasion. The only downside is that someone will eventually have to slice the gorgeous cake.

Not only is ‘Too Nice to Slice’ cake shop continuously producing amazing cakes, they are also helping to foster the skills of people eager to learn how to not only make cakes but to decorate them as well. Through courses offered by ‘Icing Inspirations’, you can learn anything - from the basics of cake decorating, to making delectable butter cream from scratch, and numerous techniques to create assorted patterns, decorations and flowers, all out of sugar. Don’t worry, you don’t need a Cake Decorating and Confectionery Arts Masters like Chrissie, or a pantry full of cake making supplies. Everything will be taught and supplies will be provided in class.

The courses are taught not only by Chrissie Boon, but also by special guest teachers Martha Hebert and Rebecca “Becky” Guidry, also known as the Two Sweet Sisters (http://www.sweetsouthernladies.com/). These talented ladies have competed on TLC’s Ultimate Cake Off twice and are now making their Canadian teaching debut at Icing Inspirations! Students learn first-hand from successful industry experts how to design awe-inspiring cakes that incorporate “spherical cakes, gum paste and fondant flowers, swags, stripes and other creative accents as well as a unique sugar topper.” Martha and “Becky” are sure to inspire and prepare you to feel comfortable in trying different ideas and styles when making your own cake creations.
