Wedding Cakes

“Do previous product examples represent what I want for my wedding?”

This is the most important question to ask because if the answer is no, then you can move along to the next option! Budget, flavours, availability – none of that matters if your vision for what you want doesn’t align with what can be offered.

For example, we’re 100% team buttercream (Swiss meringue, to be specific) here at LenJo Bakes. If you want the look of a fondant covered cake, we wouldn’t be able to help fulfill your vision.

We’ve written a blog post detailing the 5 things you should consider when choosing a cake designer.

The one you come up with!

You have a whole life to live (and pay for) after your wedding day. Set a budget that works for you and your needs – then stick to it.

There may be ways to reduce costs (like choosing cupcakes vs a cake which needs to be cut*), but most shops will have a base budget available to help guide your pricing expectations.

You can find a bit more info on costs on our bespoke cakes page.

*Venues may charge a cake cutting fee – best to ask if applicable for you!

We recommend catering for 80% of your guests to have cake. After a full day of eating, drinking, and dancing – some guests might not even have cake on their radar! The last thing you want is to have heaps of cake left over and no one to eat it.

If you’re concerned that your cake won’t look big enough in photos – don’t be! Even small cakes look beautiful. Consider this 4″, 6″ extra tall cake that we made for Kendra and Spencer at the Elora Mill.

She is small, but she is mighty! With approximately 26 servings you would never know she was a petite cake just by looking at this photo. Perspective is everything.

You can find out more about the sizes we offer here!

You can have that!

We’ve done customized sugar cookies, macaron duos, individually packaged brownies, and more as wedding favours.

We’ve also set up a few dessert tables that feature an array* of the treats we offer in the shop: French macarons, squares, cookies, and more!

*There may be a minimum order for customized favours or sweet treats.

We do! With a bit of a twist.

Every quarter we offer a cake tasting box with set flavours. These flavours are typically seasonal and may be a little outside the “norm” of cake offerings.

One of our recent boxes featured:

Each box is $40 and must be pre-ordered through our website or in-store (they sell out quickly!). Keep an eye out on Instagram and Facebook to know when the next box is being released! Alternately, you can sign up here to be added to our mailing list to get a heads up on the flavours and release date of the next box!

The world is your oyster and it’s your wedding. You can do whatever you want ❤

We’ve written a couple of pieces about cake sizes, stands, and flavours. We’re always keen to hear what you want to know about so reach out and let us know if there’s something else wedding related that we can write about.
