Delicious Cake

Gordana was super easy to work with and our cake tasted delicious. It was a bit expensive for how small it was, but I suppose that is to be expected for anything associated with the wedding industry lol. In all, definitely recommend!

Amazing wedding cake and beyond expectations!

Gordana provided such a beautiful wedding cake for us on our special day. After doing a cake tasting at her home along with my mom and sister, we were very impressed with the quality and texture of her cakes. We ordered a tall, single tier, yellow vanilla cake with passion fruit curd and buttercream. She was flexible with the delivery time and worked with us to deliver it to the venue which we really appreciated. Thank you so much for a wonderful wedding cake!

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.

GeM knocked it out of the park!

Gordana at GeM Cakes did our wedding cake and a cupcake tower for our wedding. Everything was delicious. She came and set everything up, which gave us one less thing to worry about.
We did a taste test of different flavours first, and she took care of the rest. She also had gluten free options available. She was easy to contact and helped with any questions we had. We highly recommend giving her a call and arranging a meeting for your big day.

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.
