Wedding cakes and desserts

We finally picked up those pastries yesterday... we tried the nine-layer Canadian cream cake 😲 along with several other varieties... everything was absolutely delicious... the lady running the shop was incredibly kind, and the prices were more than reasonable!

Daniel Barrett6 said:Could you please elaborate on what specifically missed the mark for you? We actually headed over this past Saturday to check out those much-vaunted pastries ourselves, only to find the doors firmly shut (their hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM 😕). I had gone in expecting a traditional bakery where we could pick up a few cakes and treats for the house, so the disappointment was quite palpable. I'm left wondering—do they operate strictly by appointment, or is it something else entirely? 🤷

Look, let me be clear—I've already mentioned that I've tried sweets from plenty of bakeries, like Magnolia Bakery, Piece of Cake, Melody, Cashner, and tons of other local ladies who bake. Those first two spots are fine, but a pound will set you back $100$40 which is just way too much. For me and my guests, the pastries weren't even that great—the frosting would peel right off the rest of the cake, they didn't really have distinct flavors, and they looked unappealing. And everyone knows you gotta eat with your eyes first. But at Cashner? Every single thing has its own unique flavor, they melt in your mouth, and that claim about the cream in the Canadian pastry being rubbery is just plain wrong. Also, one more thing—you can actually talk to them about what you want included or left out of your order, so you can pick exactly what you want if there's something you don't care for. 👍

Where'd you find that spot, honey?

Victoria’s homemade cookies. They’re located just past Markov’s field... I actually grabbed her business card if you need the number... but make sure to give her a heads-up first... and keep in mind it's currently Lent... She only had a few specific varieties available for birthdays, but we tried some different ones last time... plus, I brought my mom along... she was absolutely thrilled! We ended up grabbing a mix of Victoria’s treats and Mi-Ma cookies... honestly, both she and I feel terrible that we didn't just get everything from Victoria... oh, and the price is $23/kg

Can someone DM me the number please?🙂

If they happen to serve cake as well, please just give me the same amount as Victoria. 🙂

Listen, I have a question for you all. Does anyone know where I can track down some decent cookie boxes? And I don't mean those cheap, flimsy little things you see at every drugstore or big-box retailer. No, I’m looking for something more... organic? Like that corrugated kraft paper style—you know, the ribbed texture? Maybe in a square or round shape. I want something where I could actually tie a satin ribbon around them. They don't strictly *have* to be designated for cookies, but that's the end goal. Ideally something with a discreet grease barrier so they don't get ruined. If you catch my drift... thanks!!

I’ll be sure to send over more links if I stumble upon anything else!

Thanks so much... though, actually, I was thinking—I’d love them to be more natural, you know? But without those annoying little handles. I don't want standard rectangular boxes either; I'm picturing something round with a lid, or maybe square... if you catch my drift!! Thanks a million... and hey, if anything else pops up... let me know!!!

I recall stumbling upon something similar once, but I honestly can't remember the URL because it didn't really grab my attention at the time... sorry about that! If I happen to run into it again, I'll be sure to let you know.

They’ve got tons of stuff in that corrugated cardboard style, so take a look... the company is solid. Depending on how many you need, you might even be able to custom order specific sizes...

Wow... this is on a whole different level.

Thank you so much...velvetraven12, seriously, a huge thank you!!!! I think there might actually be something useful for me in here!!!!

Here is another solid resource for you all

Can someone please send me a photo
of a wedding cake featuring two birds? My fiancé and I are absolutely obsessed with that look and would love to have something similar for our big day. We’re planning to head down to the bakery soon to show them a picture so they know exactly what we're looking for.
Thanks, everyone.
Best.

We had ones just like these 😍 they look even better in person 😍 though "better" doesn't cover it. They were stunning. 🙏

These are incredible! Where on earth did you find them and what did they run you 😬? I've been seeing ones like these on eBay going for about $35, which feels pretty steep to me 🤷

Give it a shot here
