A Real Artist Made Our Dream Cake Come True

Alexandria is a true artist. Looking through different bakers' photos during the planning process, her cakes always stood out for their incredible detail, extraordinary elegance, and incredible lifelike quality of her sugar flowers. We were thrilled to find someone with the artist's eye and technical prowess of her quality. Our cake was SPECTACULAR. We wanted a five-tier magnificent beauty full of Lambeth piping and sugar flowers, and we got EVERYTHING we wanted with no compromises.

Alexandria was very attentive to our needs, especially as I changed parts of the design less than a month before the wedding. She went above and beyond for us, copying EXACTLY my wedding dress embroidery on one tier (all hand-piped!) and sourcing traditional plastic columns, which I requested less than three weeks before the wedding. I'm proud that we had the foresight to order a few faux-tiers, which we plan on displaying in our home.

Being allergic to gluten and dairy myself, unfortunately I wasn't able to taste the cake, but my husband enjoyed the early grey cake and salted caramel buttercream combo, and we heard so many positive reviews from our families and guests. We loved the cake so much that we ended up using the cake-cutting photo-op as our Thank You card image. If you are looking for your wedding cake dreams to come true, hire Alexandria and you will be blessed with something beyond your wildest dreams.

It was such a pleasure getting to work with you on this, Lauren!! Between your spectacular dress and lush flowers I had lots of inspiration for the cake. And I loved getting the thank you card with the cake on it too! So special. Hoping we can work together in the future :) All my best to you two!

The cake of my dreams

I can’t rave about this cake and the lovely owner enough. We gave her our wild idea for our cake and she made the most beautiful and delicious work of art I've ever seen and tasted. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it! She’s also great with communication and flexibility. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat for sure!

Beautiful and Amazing Cake!

Alexandria took the time to make sure we were happy with each detail being put into our beautifully designed wedding cake, I showed her a picture of what my hubby and I dreamed of for our cake and she exceeded our expectations! Our wedding cake is definitely the most beautiful cake we’ve ever seen and the best cake we’ve ever tasted, it was so hard to choose just one flavour combination during our tasting, they all tasted absolutely amazing! We got endless compliments the entire night on how amazing our cake was and we will remember it for
the rest of our lives, we can’t wait to work with Alexandria again the next time we’re in need of a cake for any celebration!

The cake was amazing!

The cake Alexandria made for your wedding was absolutely beautiful and very delicious. We got the earl grey flavour and the tase was absolutely unique and special. It was a real hit with our guests!

The Cake of my Dreams

This is was wedding cake of my dreams. I was so excited for this cake and it did not disappoint! It was a pleasure working with FineSpun, the cake was stunning and absolutely delicious.

The hottest gossip at our wedding was that the flowers on the cake we're make from sugar - no one could believe that was even possible to make such beautiful sugar flowers.

Everyone loved the cake, we got many compliments on the taste. FineSpun was so easy to work with. Book fast, you will not regret it.

Stunning Wedding Cake

Our cake was a true work of art with the most amazing sugar flowers that looked even better than the real thing. And best of all - it tasted just as great as it looked. Alexandria was a pleasure to work with.

All the best,
Alexandria

We ordered a croquembouche from Finespun Cakes and it was absolutely ***amazing***. Our guests loved it (it was gone so quickly once people started eating it) and it was beautiful to look at!

Here's a photo of it on Instagram:

We had an outdoor wedding on Toronto Island, and it went perfectly with our theme - plus it tasted incredible! The flowers looked real; we were amazed. Thank you for such a wonderful dessert on our special day!

Not All Hero's Wear Capes, Some Wear Aprons

First I want to say thank you sooo much Alexandria for everything you've done to make my cake beautiful!
I absolutely loved it and will for sure recommend you to others. :)

My wedding was for April and I came to Finespun in Febuary. I was instantly intrigued by Finespun cakes and I emailed her to see if she would be able to make mine. God was on my side that day, because she told me she was able to make it, though it was a close cut off time for ordering.

Because I was late in getting my cake ready in time, i wanted it simple looking, with flowers.
She exceeded my expectation.
I absolutely love how it turned out and the taste! Just melts on your tongue.

Thank you so much for letting me make your cake. Your words are so sweet, I'm happy the cake surpassed your expectations in both design and flavour :)

Best,
-Alexandria

Alexandria's cake was absolutely amazing! It was probably the single most photographed item at our wedding and the item that received the most compliments from our guests throughout (and after!) the night. We had a book theme and wanted the cake to have some of our favourite books on it. Alexandria provided us with a sketch in advance so that we knew what to expect. She also added pertinent small details on the spines of each of the 'books', which looked fantastic. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I really cannot compliment Alexandria's work highly enough!
