    Gordana makes the most beautiful cakes. She listens to what you want and works with you to give you the best of the best. She has made a two tier anniversary cake which was a huge hit and the centrepiece of the day. She also made a beautiful beauty salon cake which everybody enjoyed and couldn't get enough of.

    Fresh, delicious, beautiful!

    Gordana made the most perfect buttercream cake that looked more beautiful than I imagined. I went with coconut base and passionfruit buttercream, along with dozens of cupcakes with the same flavour. I still don’t know how she created such an intricate and stunning tropical fondant design that went perfectly with my theme. She uses the highest quality natural ingredients, and people could not stop gushing about the flavour. It’s possibly my favourite thing about my wedding. Our top tier was too delicious to last, so we will be going back to her for anniversary cakes in future.

    Our cake was very well decorated with excellent detail. The cake was very good to taste except the amount of fondant used was a tad bit too much the outside layer of fondant was 1/4" thick. The sweetness of the amount of fondant took over the flavouring of the cake. Other than that excellent job

    I was so impressed with the cake. It made such a statement and I truly believe set the stage for the dinner portion of our wedding. The intricate details amazed the guests; and the cake was equally as delicious as it looked.

    We were able to sample various recipes, review cake styles, and discuss possible cake design & size options with Gordana prior to making a final decision. She was very helpful throughout this process and was able to answer questions, make recommendations, and assess our taste and stylistic requirements. Although we were from out of town, appointments with her were flexible and set according to our availability. She delivered the flawless, beautiful cake to our site on the special day. We were delighted with the final results, as were our guests. Highly recommended.

    I was very impressed with the service I received for my wedding. Gordanna did everything she could to make that stressful day a little less so...

    My guests marvelled at how brilliantly decorated the cake was and not having a picture to really show what I wanted, it was done exactly the way I imagined it.

    Gordana was amazing because over a 10 minute phone conversation she came up with a great idea for our wedding cake. Since we are both heavy travelers she recommended a cake in the shape of a suitcase with various country flags plastered all over it. The end result was phenomenal.

    To top it all off, this whole process, from the initial conversation to our wedding day, took two weeks.

    I would highly recommend M&N Desserts and Gordana!!!
