Jeannette's Custom Cakes

To say I was excited to do this cake is an understatement. I played it religiously while I was pregnant, and pretty much anytime I’m bored. (not that often these days) It’s one of those themes that can have so many little tiny details, which just happen to be my favourite kind.  The cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting, a JCC favourite.  Here are a few pictures.

Here’s the whole thing.

Close up of the little dudes.

Once again, thank you Sara. You test me with every cake that you order, this one was no exception.

Have a great week everyone!

2 years already!! So exciting! Who knew that 2 years ago, something to do would have turned into such an adventure! Everyone knows by now that this past year was outstanding for us, we’re so excited for all the new things that 2012 will bring. We are equally excited to be back to work (very soon), and even more excited to announce a few specials as a “Happy Birthday” promo.

I woke up this morning to some gorgeous snow, and got the urge to make some snowflake cookies. So why not do a little special on these.

Give us a call and get a dozen of the snowflakes for $30. Colour scheme of your choice available upon request. Snowflakes only.

Also since, it’s our birthday, we’ll be having our 6″ gift box cakes on special for $50 for the month of January only.

Again, colour scheme available upon request. We can also add a gift tag with the recipients name on it for that added touch. No other details can be added without a price increase.

Last but not least, cupcake of the month is back!!! Check our COTM section for our new flavour and new pricing.

I knew good things came in three’s
Please remember I am still on maternity leave until January 14th. All promos, pricing and COTM will begin then

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Well, what can I say. The past 2 months have flown by for us here at JCC. November was the month our Cake Walk episode aired, and it was nothing short of amazing. I really need to take a second and thank every single member of this community for all of the support you gave us. It was such an amazing opportunity, and we were more than proud to represent Sault Ste. Marie.  We were ourselves, took everything in and welcomed every bit of advice that they had to share with us. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having faith and being so excited to see something so great happen to someone from this great city. We finally were able to get our hands on a photo from the production company, it looks pretty sweet!

It was my pride and joy, I had never made something so neat. The pride that came along with it, was nothing but outstanding. However at 7:49 pm on December 7th I was given something that changed my life forever.

Our little cupcake Elizabeth Alice Orazietti arrived and she is wonderful! Props to Uncle Curt for the pics.

On that note, things are going well, and we’ll probably start taking orders mid January. We won’t be up to our regular schedule for a while, so starting in 2012, please get your orders in asap so you don’t miss out on a spot. They will be limited for a while.

Again, thanks to everyone for all the congratulations and well wishes for Elizabeth, we’ve been waiting for her for a long time and are so happy that she is finally here.

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you, and we can’t wait to get back to work!

Love Jeannette, Anthony and Elizabeth

It’s been requested a few times, but I wasn’t sure if it was something that I was interested in. Until a good friend of mind suggested it, we talked it over and she agreed to be my guinea pig Cupcake cakes have arrived at the bakery!

Stephanie was having a Dr. Seuss party (actually 2 of them) for her son who was turning one. We made a dummy cake for decoration and a cupcake cake for the kids to enjoy. It went over so well that I’ve decided to add them to the menu at JCC. These cupcake cakes will start at $40, price may vary depending on design (as usual). Here is the finished product with Nicco as well as the dummy that was made to match. Happy 1st Birthday Nicco, and Steph thanks for letting me be a part of it!

Well, it’s finally time. I’ve been putting this off as long as I could. After suggestions from my family including all three of my mothers, I’ve decided it’s time to slow down a bit. Growing a baby is exhausting. Starting this week I am going to be taking 2 days off a week like a normal person. We will now be closed on Sundays and Mondays. Cake pick ups will still be available on Sundays, the only difference being that the cakes will be finished on Saturday. If you currently have an order for a Sunday or Monday from now until December 1st, don’t worry, it will still be completed. Cupcake of the Month will now be offered Tuesday-Thursday each week.

As of December 1st, we will be on a small hiatus, Baby Orazietti is due early December. Please keep the orders coming as I will know more by the end of December.

Thank you to everyone for the excitement of our new little cupcake! She’s going to be one lucky lady

It’s no joke, I LOVE this time of year, especially being 6 months pregnant, it’s about time that the humidity went away! There is just something about the cool breeze coming in the house and the smell of chilli on the stove (compliments of my husband) that make it a great time of year.

With wedding season slowing down (although if you look at my calendar, you’d never know it) I was pleased to see that with 3 wedding cakes for the weekend, they were all different. Each bride really took the time and ordered something that THEY wanted, that is very important. Sure in the end it’s just a cake, but why have something that you feel you have to. The first one was a traditional 5 tier, black, white and blue cake, it turned out just gorgeous. Very classy. And massive.

The other two were a little more on the fun side, one had a woodland/fairy theme, while the other was very personal for us here at the Orazietti house as well. GO PACK GO!!!!

So with the bookings for 2012 weddings still pouring in, go ahead and have fun with it! It’s your day!!

On another note, don’t forget Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition starts this week!! Our episode doesn’t air until November 9th, but the show is starting! Be sure to catch it on the Slice Network. Share your support for 39 amazing CANADIAN cake artists!!

Enjoy the cooler weather everyone, and get out and enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Latte…they come out tomorrow!

Attention ladies!!! This is the official post that we are now accepting orders for 2012 weddings. I know it had originally been stated that we would be waiting until late August to book any orders, but given the high demand we are already receiving, we’re starting a bit early. Just a few things that will make your ordering process a little easier. Please email us with any information that you currently have including, how many guests you are looking to feed, the style of cake you are looking for, and of course the date. Please advise; there will be a non-refundable deposit that will have to be paid, simply to book the date. If you have any other questions, please send them along in your email.

Thanks in advance.

Holy cakes batman!! I seriously had NO idea what this business would turn into when I started it almost 2 years ago! The amount of cakes, cupcakes and cookies that come out of this bakery is insane! So busy in fact that I apparently forget about my blog posts. eesh.

We have a few new and exciting things going on here lately, first off we were interviewed for the Sault College Alumni magazine a few months back and it’s finally printed! Be sure to pick up your copy today and see all the good things that have come out of the college! (present company included)

If that wasn’t enough (I will admit, seeing yourself in print is pretty cool) we finally got the last piece of equipment we needed to run this bakery as efficiant as possible!!! We bought ourselves a Somerset CDR-600F fondant sheeter. Now I’m not kidding at all when I say this but every possible non-appropriate word came out of my mouth when the delivery men dropped it off. This thing is MASSIVE, and I’m so happy we got it, it saves time and energy. Anthony and my dad had to pick it up and put it on the table, it takes up 1/3 of my table space and I don’t even care, it’s that awesome. I took the picture mid-weekend, so don’t mind the mess

So that’s it that’s new over here at JCC, and yes there still are 2 more very exciting things to come…stay tuned.

I hope everyone got their fix of cake for the next few weeks. We are now closed until April 21st at noon.

I hope you all have an enjoyable few weeks, we have some exciting things coming up so stay tuned.

Have a great few weeks.

Jeannette

Please note we will be closed from April 8th at noon until April 21st 2011.

April and Easter specials will be posted shortly, and all orders for Easter weekend will have to be placed BEFORE April 8th.

Thanks in advance

Jeannette
