Filled up google form on their website to select cake size, base and filling. I sent some ideas via email and Monja did an amazing design for the cake. Very clean and cute. Fabulous taste as well. Start to end our interaction with Monja was friendly and professional. Highly recommend cakes from Cakestar for any of your occasions. Thank you Monja for lovely cake, my husband and all of us enjoyed it a lot!

We ordered a beautiful two-tier cake for our engagement party in Toronto, and it was truly…read moreexceptional. Days later, we're still enjoying it and remarking on how delicious it remains. The top tier was red velvet, and the bottom was vanilla fudge (which my fiancé absolutely loves!) The cake was so good that we're turning the leftovers into cake pops just to keep enjoying it. Easily the best cake either of us has ever had. We couldn't recommend it more.

Walked in assuming I could buy a vegan birthday cake, but I was wrong. They only have eggless cakes…read morein stock and vegan need to be pre-ordered. The new store inside is classy and clean. Many multicoloured iMacs for the associates. The young associate I interacted with spoke so fast that it was hard to comprehend what she talked about and asked her to repeat several times. The mask doesn't help as well. Picked up an in-stock Pineapple Cake and a container of two small slices of what looked like Black Forest cake. The pineapple cake was liked and appreciated by all. The icing was specially mentioned as it wasn't too sweet. The vegan cake slices were a disappointment. The cake was too dry and I didn't enjoy a bit. In fact left it after eating half of the small slice and the other was discarded.

This place makes the most magical treats. I love that they take classic naughty treats from when I…read morewas a kid but then make them with wonderful ingredients delicious feelings and love. This weekend they had their pop tarts at the Kitten and the Bear and they were magical. I got the box of six of them. Two of each flavour. The wild blueberry was mind blowing but another tasted like it might have been rhubarb pie and it was outstanding. If you ever have the chance to try their stuff you will not be disappointed

I actually bought a wedding cake a few years ago for a family bride but never had the chance to…read morevisit the store itself. So I FINALLY was able visit just the other day & specifically came for their Passion (today's was strawberry) Flakies, as they are only sold on weekend. I have been obsessing to try these for over a year now. In high school, I was addicted to the Vachon version, so happy they have made their own (sans chemicals) & am happy to report they deliver on light creamy jam deliciousness! Thank goodness I pre-order/paid as they were sold out the time we arrived. As I visited with my sister, we also tried the vanilla s'mores (which they lightly torched... extra Yum toasted flavour), small peanut cookie sandwich.

I highly recommend La Sem for any event - having using them for birthdays for years now and it always tastes great. I would suggest always asking for only light liqueur when soaking the cake - and it comes out exactly as I wanted. Thank you La Sem - and thank you Maria:)

March 7/2022: Had me a Zeppoli & a cappuccino as a treat…read more Have always loved Zeppoli since I learned of em in 1990's. I've tried many & this one was just average. It lacked the usual size & filling that I've expected in the past. The cappuccino was also light on the size, maybe an eight ounce cup. There was also something different here. 3 different sizes of Zeppoli.

Wow! The cupcakes here are amazing !!! So delicious and pretty looking…read more My bfs sister bought these for us and it was love at first sight! My favourite flavours were red velvet and mango! The red velvet was just the perfect level of richness and sweetness! The buttercream on the mango cupcake tasted like mango bubble tea, so delicious!! The coconut flakes flavour tasted exactly like the Chinese coconut cream bun, unique for cupcake but nothing special! The raspberry flavour was just alright for me but the bf loved it! The worse flavour had to be chocolate- it tasted way too regular! Overall , I loved the cupcakes and would definitely return:)

Delicous! Stopped in…read moretoday with a work colleague to pick up some cupcakes for our co-workers birthday. The shop itself is so pretty and smelled incredible. The lady that helped us choose flavours was super sweet. Each of the cupcakes were so beautifully decorated, they all looked perfect. Our birthday girl at work was pleasantly surprised with the goodies and everyone was raving about the cupcakes. I tried the red velvet one and it was so tasty. The cake portion was moist and the generous heaping of buttery cream cheese frosting on top was amazing. Would definately come back again some day for a sugar fix or special occasion treats!

Holy cannoli! This place is boss…read more This cute little family-owned bakery specializes in wedding cakes, but they have an awesome range of goodies, including eclairs, pies, meringue, smaller cakes, and yes, GODLY cannolis. Godly. They have some savoury noms as well, like olive bourekas and spinach/feta pastries. They also sell bread, honey and some packaged sweets. Bonus: The little lady who works during the day is an absolute darling :)

I was in a rush so instead I picked up the brownies with sprinkles on top. I asked if they were fresh. He says yes. It was not fresh at all. And def not close to a brownie but a poorly made cake bar. It was obviously not fresh, dry, and lacked flavor.

Each of the pate-a-choux were filled with the most delicious cream and decorated so beautifully in white chocolate and assorted sizes of handmade flowers and gold dust - stunning! Every guest got a generous portion - we couldn't be more happy! Irene herself took the time to make the most beautiful & glamorous 6-layer tiered wedding cake with hand-piping and draping with hand-made flowers in champagne and blush. Flavors we chose: Bacci with chocolate sponge; Strawberry cream with vanilla sponge; Pina colada (coconut and pineapple) with vanilla sponge. They delivered the croquembouche and the cake on time and ensured every detail was perfect. We ordered our cake and the croquembouche about 4 months ahead of our August wedding and our guests and family couldn't have been more delighted. Flavour and Taste: 5/5 Variety of Flavours: 5/5 Adornment: 5/5 Design: 5/5 Overall Value: PRICELESS!

I have not had many of these fried doughnuts before except for at scaddabush but they were more in a TimBit shape with chocolate sauce. I was pleasantly surprised with the way these were prepared, not what I was expecting them to taste like but they were nice and fluffy, not too sweet with the amount of powdered sugar sprinkled over them and the contrast of flavour with the custard and the cherries was very good! The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 is because for such a small spaced bakery there were WAY too many people inside, you could hardly move and instead of creating a line inside the store I would have expected them to keep it outside like many other bakeries are doing right now. The staff was very nice but I would have liked to been able to walk around the bakery more instead of just wanting to place my order and scram due to how uncomfortable I felt.

This quaint, unassuming spot in Bloor West Village is exactly where you should go to satisfy your sweet tooth. Its selection isn't huge but you can preorder. It was a one-staff operation who was attentive and kept the constant stream of people moving. We bought a variety of baked goods and a small bowl of Kawartha Dairy ice cream. The ice cream was good but nothing in comparison to the baked goods. I'm not usually a macaron fan but their bubble gum one was so flavourful, I'm glad my son didn't eat all of it. We also tried the cotton Candy one which merely tasted like sugar. I got one of their squares which was sweet and tart at the same time. Prices are fairly reasonable and they continue to introduce new products. Support local and check this place out!!!
