 Just a Quick Note...
When I was a child my mother made me the best birthday cakes. On my special
day, she would bann me from the kitchen while she created my wish and then that
evening I would rush through my supper in anticipation of the party to come. Dinner
would finish, the lights would dim and suddenly she would present my cake to me all
aglow with candles. I felt so special and would spend precious minutes loving the
details until it was time to eat it. Which I did, with great enthusiasm I might add.
Is it any wonder how I ended up becoming a cake decorator? Originally,
The Perfect Cake was a business I started as an outlet for my creativity,
but it has become so much more than that. Every time we deliver a cake and
see the excited faces of the children, it becomes more of a calling. Can
I get poetic about cake? You bet I can!
Every cake we deliver is baked from scratch. I dont believe in mixes, a cake
should be dense and moist and remind you of your grandmother. Ingredients like
Dicalcium Phosphate and Aluminum Sulphate dont belong in my cakes; Instead,
I use good old fashioned eggs, butter, flour and the ocassional fruit juice.
I bake cakes the way my mother taught me, with patience, fresh ingredients
and a blue apron with flowers on it.
For every ocassion there is a need for cake and I love carving and shaping
them into something really neat. I once delivered a cake where the little
girl squealled so loud, and shook her whole body so hard that I almost dropped
the cake! Her mother was so pleased; As a parent, you cant do better than to get
that reaction from a gift you've given your little one. Believe me, these arent
just cakes, they're part of the experience.
If you've never ordered from me before, try one of my simple gourmet cakes.
The smallest cake is 8 servings and they all go great with a movie and a glass
of cold milk. Would you like to learn how to decorate your own cakes? Check my
teaching schedule; I currently teach through the Loblaws Cooking School and
travel all over Southwestern Ontario.
I look forward to meeting you.
