Melanie's Cakes is amazing. I sent her some photos of the cake I wanted and added some of my own ideas, and from that she made my wedding cake better than I could have ever imagined. Not only did it look absolutely stunning, but it was absolutely delicious as well. On top of baking the perfect cake, she really helped me out last minute with providing a cake stand and a cake topper to go along with it. She picked up the flowers from my florist on the day of my wedding and she dropped the cake off at the venue. I asked Melanie to send me a picture of my cake when it was ready so I could see it before dinner, and when she did that morning I screamed with Joy at how beautiful it was.

I would recommend Melanie's Cakes 100% to take the stress of your back and handling everything, as well as helping your dream cake come to life.

Stunning & Delicious Cake

Melanie was amazing! Not only is her carrot cake the most delicious cake we've ever had, but her service is phenomenal! Extremely quick response time, incredibly helpful, and exactly what we asked for. We had to go through 4 different cake vendors due to multiple covid issues, and she was quick to pick up where another business had to leave off and there was absolutely no issue in the process. Not only was the cake delicious, it was absolutely stunning: and matched our elegant / rustic wedding venue perfectly. The flowers are sugar as well, and they were just perfect! We're so incredibly please - thank you so so much Melanie & team! 11/10 recommend the carrot cake ;)

Carrot cake!!

We did a two tier cake, one layer carrot and 2nd layer vanilla. Both were great but the carrot cake is SO good! So happy I listened to the other reviews which mentioned this. Melanie was quick to respond and easy to work with. Would recommend

Amazing and Delicious

Melanie was such a please to work with! Her cakes are absolutely stunning! We first met Melanie at a small bridal show in Thornhill, she had some samples at her table. Her cupcake and cookies looked so good we had to try some right away! They tasted AMAZING! We knew we had to book her for our wedding cake. Melanie is very quick to answer email correspondences and was so accommodating, especially when I kept changing my mind about what I initially wanted. The cake that she made for us turned out so beautiful, and she even added more sugar flowers to the designs than we had previously discussed just so the cake would look closer to what we had originally envisioned! We are so happy we decided to go with Melanie! We definitely would recommend her to anyone looking to get cakes and cookies for any occasion!

Delicious and very pretty cake

We decided on cupcakes and a small cutting (rainbow) cake. The cupcake flavors were really hard to choose because they were all so good.
The cake was elegant and excellent.
Plus it is always nice to support a growing business lead by a young woman!

Beautiful cake, and so delicious

Melanie was able to move our wedding date when covid hit, and we were so appreciative of her flexibility. On the day of, she delivered our cake and put our cake topper on for us. There was a mix up with flowers instead of greenery from our florist, and Melanie brought greenery to make the cake look exactly as we had envisioned (which she definitely didnt have to do!). It turned out so beautiful and it was so delicious--better than we had even remembered from the tasting (if thats even possible). Highly recommend.
