Wedding Cakes

Trio of cakes depicting possible wedding cake designs.

Pay It Forward

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: LenJo Bakes has the *best* customers!

A while ago we had a customer who wanted to do something lovely for…well, whoever needed it! They were in a good place, but recognized that a lot of people weren’t.

They prepaid for a bunch of sweet treats and bevvies and gave us the pleasure of handing out the sweet surprises to someone whose day needed a bit of a lift. (Which was really just as lovely for us – giving gifts is the best!)

One of the customers who received a gifted treat, came back the week after (in a better place) and felt compelled to continue paying the generosity forward.

What’s Your Flavour?

Let’s explore one of elements that will make up your spectacular, completely bespoke custom cake: the flavour!

As a standard, each cake tier will have 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling.

Our extra tall tiers have 6 layers of cake and 4 layers of filling (split into two cakes of 3 layers of cake, two layers of filling divided by a cake board).

Although we have curated a small list of options available below, the sky is the limit! Tell us what your favourite flavours are and we’ll figure out a way to deliver.

We’re happy to provide both gluten-friendly and dairy-free alternatives for nearly all of our cakes and fillings!

Availability Calendar

The calendar below depicts our upcoming availability for all bespoke orders.

From something “small and simple” to wedding cakes, birthdays, and everything in between.

Life Update: I’m getting married! As I’m sure you can imagine, it’s a pretty hectic time over here at LenJo Bakes with this once-in-a-lifetime event (and all that comes with it) coinciding with the opening of The Shed, our café , in St. Jacobs! As such, consultation times are *limited* over the next few weeks. But don’t fret! If you can’t get something bespoke, we are still facilitating retail orders and always have our grab + go cakes in our online shop. As always, I appreciate you and your support of this small business. I’m looking forward to getting back to chatting through planning your special events soon! ❤️ Lenore (aka LenJo)

The calendar reads like a stop light!

Green means go! We are freely booking this day.

Does Size Really Matter?

You hear the question all the time – does size really matter?

In relation to choosing a cake which will be the centrepiece of your special event the answer is: sometimes.

Size *does* matter when: there is a budget, there are other desserts/sweet treats at the event, your guests aren’t really cake people.

Size does not matter when: you want something to “look big” in photos, you want a 2-tier cake that feeds 8 people, or your venue/event does not allow for sufficient storage of a larger cake.

I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller…

When a little height makes a *big* difference!

If you’re displaying your cake as a centrepiece at your special event, then it needs to take on the look of a centrepiece.

Your cake needs to be easily spotted across the room, draw attention to itself, and announce, “Here I am! Come look at me!” if that’s the vibe you want!

The easiest way to achieve this is by placing your beautiful cake on a stand.

You’re providing height, adding drama (depends on how ostentatious your stand is), and allowing your cake to take centre stage with authority!
