Fantastic Treats and Where to Find Them

We know why you’re here.

You’re here because you want treats.

We’re here to help ensure you get what you want when you need it!

Use the following guide to determine everything you need to know about placing an order for treats here at LenJo Bakes. Use the quick links below to jump to the part of the guide applicable to you!

Online Shop

Our online shop is restocked with our staple items by Wednesday at 12pm for the week ahead. You’ll find product categories with items available for pick up under each category. Similarly, categories for holidays or special events will also be present at the appropriate time.

As the items are only our staples, there are more items available in-store than shown in the store. We love surprises and hope you do too! 😊

You can select either our Kitchener or St. Jacobs location. The location chosen will determine which products are available to order as well as pick-up times.

Important to note: Products that show as “sold out” may not be sold out in store – just for online ordering.

Retail Items

As delightful as our in-store offerings might be, sometimes you just want what you want – and we get that!

If you’re hosting an event or want to stock your freezer with your favourite LenJo treats, you can now place an order request without needing a consultation. Please note: customization isn’t available for these items. You’re trusting us to deliver aesthetically pleasing and downright delicious treats in the flavours you’ve asked for.

Important to note: We require at least 14 days’ notice from your form submission date to pick-up date. There are minimums which need to be met for these orders.

Cupcakes

These popular treats experienced quite a resurgence during the pandemic! Not only because of their self-serve nature, but also because they required no plates, forks, or clean-up. Cupcakes also round out dessert tables well and you can typically avoid cake cutting fees that venues sometimes charge.

If you’re looking for our standard cupcakes and don’t require any customization, you can place an order request without a consultation. If you’re looking for cupcakes to match a theme for your special event, you can schedule a consultation based on our availability.

Important to note: We require at least 14 days’ notice from a form submission date to pick-up date for order requests. We require at least 10 days’ notice from a consultation date to pick-up date for bespoke requests – subject to date availability.

Celebration Cakes

Whether you’re planning to celebrate a child’s (or colourful adult’s) birthday, an anniversary, or a graduation – we’d love to help you celebrate! We make bespoke cakes for all occasions and can accommodate various dietary requirements.

Our availability for all bespoke orders is the same whether the event be a birthday, wedding, or any other celebration. Even “small” or “simple” cakes are subject to the same availability. During busy seasons (wedding and holidays) it is not uncommon for us to be booked many weeks in advance – especially on the weekend. Please bear this in mind when scheduling your consultation as our availability may be full by the time your appointment arrives. Schedule early to avoid disappointment!

Wedding Cakes

Wedding cakes are really the heart and soul of LenJo Bakes. We love helping couple celebrate and encapsulate their story in a detail as sweet and enduring as a wedding cake.

We also recognize that cakes are not the only way couples can celebrate and also offer all sorts of celebratory options like macaron favours or dessert tables replete with an array of sweet offerings.

Important to note: We require at least 10 days’ notice from a consultation date to pick-up date for bespoke requests – subject to date availability. We recommend booking a consultation when most major decisions (theme, guest list, budget, venue, catering, florist) have been decided. Typically 6-9 months ahead is heaps of time!

Dessert Table

Why get one thing when you can get lots of things?

Dessert tables are the way of the future! Give your guests ample choice without having to sacrifice your favourite options either. We recommend budgeting 2-3 pieces per person with a max of 6-8 dessert options.
