Jeannette's Custom Cakes

Bookings for the 2011 wedding season will be starting September 1st, 2010. As promised I am posting this so everyone is aware. Spots are reserved by deposit on a first come first serve basis. Please contact me for further details.

I had to post this, I’ve been waiting for it since June! This is why I love my friends.

Have a great weekend everyone!

She’s here! She’s finally here!

After almost a year of decision making, and a significant waiting period, cupcake has arrived (yes that is what I named her)

Of course we had to document her first delivery on the day she arrived no less. Here’s my husband Anthony loading the cake in the car.

The cake was pretty big, yes the car seemed to swallow it, lots of room!

Off we go!

Keep an eye out for her, if you see her driving slow, there’s probably a cake on board!

Have a great week everyone!!

As much as I love decorating cakes and cupcakes, I can’t hide the fact that I love making cookies. This past week I made a batch for a bride’s bridal shower in Toronto. Her colours were pink and white. The fashionista cookies are my most popular cookies and I was thrilled when those were the ones that she chose. There are endless possibilities to the design of these and they are different every time.

I had so much fun making these, I decided to have a special for the week of August 15th-18th, 2010. Put in any order for these cookies for that week and get the wrapping for free, leaving them at $2.00 per cookie. You’ll be able to pick any 3 colours and get them personalized to how you want them. They are perfect for bridal showers, birthday gifts or just for that diva in your life.

Minimum order is a dozen.

I got a call from Toronto last week asking for a cupcake bouquet to be delivered to a client here in town. I jumped at the opportunity immediately. I was SO pleased with how it turned out, and what a great gift! Here is the small one that went out. It had 6 standard size cupcakes and 8 minis.

After I finished that, I thought to myself how cool it would be to make a huge one! It was my Auntie Dianne’s birthday party that same day, so why not take the opportunity to make her one too! Here’s hers.

When it was all said and done, this one had 16 standard cupcakes. They looked so good, and they vanished as soon as they went on the table. I need at least 3 days notice for these, please be aware of that upon ordering.

Thanks everyone, have a great week! New photos in the gallery too!!

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been noticing a little glitch in my email over the past week. If you have been emailing me, and are waiting for a response, please re-send me that email to jeannettedugas@hotmail.com and i will answer it after the weekend. Hopefully my correct email will be up and running Monday afternoon.

Thanks and have a great weekend

Normally baby shower cakes are pretty standard. Pink for a girl, or Blue for a boy. I was thrilled when I got an email from a faithful client asking me to do a more unique one. The baby’s nursery decorated with an outdoor theme as well as the bedding. They had an idea of what they wanted for a cake, but of course I had to put my own spin on it, as I normally do. Here is the cake that I came up with.

I think my favourite part is the leaf for the baby blanket.

I love the little blue birds too.

Complete with the baby’s name.

And of course the matching cupcakes.

I love projects like this, mainly because I love when things match!

Congrats Melissa & Josh, I hope you’re little man is happy and healthy.

When friends get married it is such an amazing time for everyone. This past weekend was just that. Jeremy and my husband Anthony have been best friends since high school and we were lucky enough to meet Sandra when they started dating 5 years ago. Sandra had her 2 sisters standing up with her, and I had the honour of being the only one that wasn’t a blood relative standing. What a day. I felt it needed a post. Not to mention to show you all the biggest cake I have ever made. Here are few pictures from the day. You can see we all had a great time.

And of course the massive cake.

Now if any of you know my good friend Curt O’Neil (as im sure most of you do), the next photo will not be a surprise. Just goes to show you that two successful business owners can have some fun! We’re goofs.

To Jer and Sandra, thank you for having me be part of your special day. I can never repay you for the friendship that you both have given me, I couldn’t be happier for the both of you.

Have a great weekend everyone. I’ll be off from June 13th-June 21st, any emails and phone calls will be answered when I return.

This month may have been the fastest month to fly by that I have ever felt. I’m not sure if it’s because I jumped right back into work when I returned from vacation or not, but wow, I really have no idea where it went.  To top all of that off, it’s now wedding season, which means the summer is going to fly by before our eyes. I know, no one likes to think of it, but lets face it, it happens. Here is the first cake of my wedding season.

Have a great week everyone!

Well all, it’s that time of year for me. Vacation time! We will be closed from Sunday April 18th to Thursday April 29th, 2010.

All emails and phone calls will be processed after April 29th. Have a great few weeks.
