Cake + art = the perfect way to celebrate your special occasions.

Our process to order a bespoke cake is super straight forward.

🎂 Head to our website and read a bit about what we do and do not offer (no fondant covered cakes, soz!)

🎂 Check our availability calendar to see if your date is available.

🎂 Book a 10 minute phone convo with us 7-10 days before your event to discuss the finer details of your completely bespoke cake!*

That's it!

If no two celebrations are ever the same - the cakes shouldn't be either!

*this process is the same for cupcakes, cookies, squares, corporate, etc. too!

12 months ago I unlocked the front of @lenjobakes

12 months ago I unlocked the front of @lenjobakes for the first time for customers.

I hadn't slept (one of many all-nighters, unbeknownst to me), but was excited and expectant.

Our menu was much smaller (2 verrines, 2 cookies, 4 macarons, and cinnamon rolls). There were no plants, but there were chairs. We had no employees - just friends and family who were happy to support along the way.

We've experienced more in our first 12 months than we could have imagined.

We adapted, changed, pivoted, adjusted, tweaked, improvised, and guessed our way through a pandemic; grew our team by employing 4 people (including myself); increased our menu size; got product onto the shelves of a local grocery store; played a small role in celebrating milestone events in our customer's lives; won multiple awards; purchased *many* plants (some died - RIP); and fell head over heels in love with the #midtownkitchener community we call home.

We've also made a *lot* of mistakes, disappointed people, said yes when we should have said no, and have a few not-so-lovely interactions with customers.

The good >>>>>>>> the bad.

From the bottom of my heart - thank you for making our first year so exciting!

See you I N S I D E this weekend,
Lenore

The option for cinny rolls 7 days a week?

Okay 👌🏾

Bespoke celebration cake requests are on the rise

Bespoke celebration cake requests are on the rise again and we just wanted to reiterate a few imporant things:

🎂 Each and every one of our cakes are bespoke! That means they are made specifically for the person who ordered it. We never have cakes on hand that we can just put a name on.

🎂 We think we're magical too, but since we are customizing each cake we can't just whip one up. We plan how we'll spend our time a week in advance which is why we ask for 7-10 days notice from your consult date.

🎂 Consultations are quick, but important! Fill out that questionnaire so we can use our time together wisely.

You can find our more about how to order a cake and the kinds of cakes we make through the link in our bio!

We're back!!

We have been *waiting* to introduce you to another New Zealand classic: bacon and egg pie!

Featuring bacon from our neighbours at @fqbutchershop and served with @phlippenssauce smoked hot sauce, this is a hyper local and hyper delicious way to eat brekkie!

For those veggos, don't worry! This week we've got spinach and sundried tomatoes as inclusions for you this week.

(Cheddar cheese is in both pies because cheese is delicious.)

Get amongst! Online store is up and ready for you through our bio!
