White Buttercream - a true buttercream made with sweet butter and pure vanilla, the finish has a lovely natural light
cream or ivory hue and a taste that is rich and delicious.
Rolled Fondant - classic and elegant, our rolled fondant is carefully worked into a smooth white sheet, the taste is
simple and sweet.
Cream Cheese Icing - naturally sweetened with honey, this classic pairs perfectly with our Carrot or Pink Velvet cakes.
Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache - smooth and rich, this ganache is ideal for finishing Chocolate Fudge or Mocha cakes.
Notes:
- Customize the finish, piping accents or borders with naturally tinted buttercreams, frostings + rolled fondants in pale
shades of Yellow, Orange, Pink, Lilac, Purple, Green and Chocolate.
- We can tailor colours to your request but custom shades may require non-natural ingredients to achieve the desired
shade.
- Piping designs on cakes masked in rolled fondant are done in buttercream.

sizes + servings...
The cake yields below are based on a 2" x 2" serving size. Multi-tiered cakes have 2 to 4 tiers of Round or Square

Double Stacked Tiers - we offer a selection of cakes with double stacked centre tiers (see #23 Fanciful Twirls).
These are not available on the bottom or top tier of a cake, nor as a single tier cake.
Double stacked centre tiers may be one flavour only and are available in Chocolate Fudge, Carrot Cake, Pink Velvet
or Classic Vanilla as these flavours are denser and give the cake a more solid base.
Size combinations for double stacked tier cakes:
6" round, 9" double-round, 12" round 65-75 servings

EDIBLE FLOWERS:
Edible flowers may be added for a touch of elegance or splash of colour. Some edible flowers are wired which
