I have to say these cakes are blooming! Not because of flavor, albeit the Belgian chocolate cake is…read morequite rich, but because of how their cakes look. Many of their cakes have been detailed with flowers, such as roses and daisies. They also feature other designs, but I think the spring weather called for a bit of floral. They don't operate a store-front, because they make custom creations. I was lucky enough to come upon them at the Carp Farmer's Market. They encourage you to contact them by phone or email and are willing to accommodate last minute requests (within reason). They also do wedding cakes! These cakes are beautiful and taste delicious as well!

We had the turkey sandwich for lunch with lavender lemonade.. the sandwich was great but I'd rather they don't grill it with the lettuce in it (got cooked lettuce) and add the lettuce later. Lavender lemonade was very refreshing ( maybe add a little more lavender) and then we ended with pomegranate cheese cake which was light and tasty. We enjoyed our time it was quiet.. and would definitely come back again

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute Persian bakery/cafe in…read moreWellington West. Pastries were tasty and not too sweet, just a bit small in size, lol. The Long Version: My husband and I popped into Lavender Pastry on a cold snowy day in March to warm up and have a little treat. It opened around Christmas of 2024 in the space that used to be Numetrica, an accounting firm. We've walked passed it many times since then. I'm glad we finally decided to give it a try. My husband got a decaf coffee ($3.99) and a Chocolate Swiss roll slice ($5.19). I got something called a Persian Creamy Puff Pastry ($2.29). My pastry was 2 tiny puff pastry discs with cream piped in the centre. It had a single pomegranate aril placed on the cream with a sprinkling of pistachio dust around the aril. It was very pretty. The puff pastry was soft and not as flaky as I anticipated but it was still good. The cream was light and airy and the entire pastry wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. It was about the size of a French macaron. I had a taste of my husband's Chocolate Swiss roll slice and it also wasn't too sweet. The cake was soft and fluffy and the cream was light and airy. It was tasty, but I found it on the small side, especially for the price. Good for portion control, I guess, lol. My husband enjoyed his coffee. The bakery/cafe is very cute and cozy inside. It's small with not too much seating though. Staff were pleasant. Street parking only. Review #64 (2025)

I've had a few items from The Cake Shop, ranging from their cakes, muffins, shortbread cookies and…read moregingerbread cookies. Let's just say, you can't eat items here and be on a diet, lol. The cakes and muffins are moist and tasty, but on the oily/greasy side and very sweet. The cookies are also tasty, but very rich and full of butter, and also very sweet. I know that "real baking" is full of sugar and fat, and this is how most people like it, but I personally prefer reduced-fat and reduced-sugar baking, lol. That being said, I can still appreciate full-fat and full-sugar baked goods, haha. They are a nut-free bakery, so if you are allergic to nuts, you need not worry about eating items here. And their (nut-free) carrot cake is really good! If I recall correctly, they put pineapple in it, yum! I didn't even miss the walnuts. The bakery is pretty and they have lots of ready to go cakes so you can pick one up last minute if you have to. Obviously you can also pre-order if you want something specific, but they do have a good selection of readymade cakes. Staff are friendly. Street parking only.

We used to get 4-5 sugar-free cakes a year for parents' birthdays, anniversaries, Father's Day, and…read moreeven Mother's day since dad is diabetic and loved cakes and often has several slices if he can. I have not shopped there again after an incident a few years ago where I called ahead to reserve a sugar free cake and found when i got home that the cake had moldy berries on it and touch the cake too so it likely was in the display case for 1-2 days. Mom insisted that she did not want any of us eating a cake with mold on it, so an expensive cake was discarded. When I called, they said they had at the time an outside baker that came in once a week to bake the sugar-free cakes, and they freeze it. If a cake is past its best, they should have defrosted another cake since they were selling a supposedly premium product. Customer service by I think the owner's mother or a co-owner was terrible. She offered us a bag of cookies that l seen in the store before and looked kind of stale and remember we have a diabetic in the family! With that experience, we have been getting our cakes elsewhere, either sugar free or regular cakes but smaller ones, so dad would eat a maximum of 2 slices lol

Esther's Cakes N Sweets opened up around May 2023 in the space that used to be Casa Balzano (inside…read morea medical/office building). I went in to take a look and ended up buying a salted caramel brownie ($3.25) and a pink cookie with white chocolate chips ($3.65). When you buy anything pink in the shop, 20% of the sales go to Breast Cancer Research (not sure if this is just for the month of October (Breast Cancer Awareness month) or for always). The salted caramel brownie was phenomenal! So rich and buttery and filled with gooey salted caramel and chocolate chips. The cookie was good too, nice and chewy with lots of white chocolate chips, but the salted caramel brownie stole the show, for sure! Everything is baked by them, it is not one of those shops that buys stuff from Costco and resells them, lol, like some other shops in medical buildings. I was served by Esther herself, who is beyond lovely. She told me they recently opened 5 months ago and she's really trying to get the cafe more exposure through social media. She noticed my purse and told me she has the exact same one and brought hers out to show me. Immediately I knew this woman has good taste, lol. The cafe is super cute with a few seats to eat in. It's not too visible from the street, so just look for the medical/office building next to the Westgate Shopping Centre. There's free parking along the front of the building. The parking lot is actually quite large, but many spots are reserved for permit holders, so just look out for the signage. Esther's Cakes N Sweets is a gem. I'm looking forward to trying out other items.

Amazing, simply amazing!…read more I emailed Indulgence bakery after seeing how awesome the cakes looked on their website. I sent them a few pictures to go by, and they totally nailed it. I had a surprise BDay party for my lovely Mrs, and didnt know what kind of cake to order. I decided on getting a custom cake, shaped and styled according to her favorite book. Sara contacted me back with the details. Her promptness, and respect for my lack of time and excessive amount of questions already gave me good vibes about them. All questions answered, all payment and delivery options fulfilled. She was on time, and helped me decided on the cake filling and flavor. we decided on Chocolate cake with vanilla bean frosting, but it tasted like butter cream. sooo good. And the cake was Gorgeous.
