My first job at a bakery, over 25 years ago, ignited my passion to create amazing custom cakes and cupcakes. Over 10 years ago, I took the plunge and decided to start my own cake business, and teach myself how to do fondant cakes.
I have taken many classes with Master Sugar Artists. I was nominated for Rising Star Canada from The American Cake Awards. My Husband and I flew to Florida to attend SOFLO and the awards ceremony April 2022. Although I did not win, being nominated (one of 6) , that is Winning in itself for me!
I have also learned much on my own. When I first started to learn fondant application, I had to learn as I went..with a lot of practice. There were many cakes that were very challenging to me. I still love to challenge myself, and never stop learning new techniques.
I love making sugar flowers, I love being in the 'cake zone', being able to be creative, and also have a keen eye for attention to detail.
I love what I do. It is my passion. Creating visually stunning and delectable desserts that will be memorable for my clients for years to come. I love my business.
I am so grateful and blessed for my wonderful Husband Wes. He is very supportive of my career and business.

kind words from my clients >
I don't just bake cakes...
I create them. I pour my heart into them. I whip them into sheer perfection. Using quality ingredients like fresh butter, eggs, buttermilk, egg whites, fine chocolate, and cream.
And that's the part you don't see...
I am equally obsessed with how my creations look. From plotting every polka dot and hand created flourish to coaxing each sugar petal into exquisite reality. To me, cake isn't just a dessert. It is a symbol of celebration, happiness, friends and family. That is why I take so much care in creating moist and delectable cakes and cupcakes...because I know what it means to you.
With as much care as I put into my cakes, it's a wonder I am able to hand them over when they are finished. Just teasing of course ...

Frequently asked questions
How much do you charge for a Custom cake?
-All the work we do is custom, The price is based on the size of your cake, intricacy of the design and flavor choice. After you contact us with basic information, we can give you a price range. The final price will be determined with the final design. Every cake is unique!
How much notice do I need for a cake?
- Typically a couple weeks to a month is best. More if during Peak Wedding Season, however, please feel free to contact me regarding availability.
Do you deliver?
- Yes, I do. Delivery in Red Deer City limits is $30.00. Outside of Red Deer is a base price of $50.00 to start plus a $1.50/km roundtrip. Some cakes require me to deliver and set up, for example, a 4 or 5 tier cake.
How much do you charge for 3D sculpted cakes?
- Prices vary with the design and detail. Starting price for a 3D sculpted cake start at $300.00. Please contact me for an exact quote.
Do you have a retail store or do I have to custom order?
- I have a Alberta Health Inspected and Licensed Cake Studio. All my designer cakes and cupcakes are custom order only.
Is a retainer needed to book my cake?
- Yes, I do require a non refundable retainer at time of booking.
Do you offer tastings?
- I do. My Cake Studio is by apt only. My tastings are $60 and include 4 cake flavors and 4 fillings to sample. Payment for our tasting is due prior to our tasting apt. Upon booking with me, $15.00 from your fee will go towards your Dream cake. We can discuss and design your Dream Wedding Cake. Please bring any inspirational photos, and colour swatches (unfortunately I cannot guarantee exact colour match..I do get as close to possible to the colour). The tasting lasts 1 hour to an Hour and a half, and I ask that you please arrive on time. I do not rush the tasting process, as I want you to enjoy this special event with your fiance.
I Offer Tasting Party Packs also. These are $68.00 and are 10 flavors and 5 filling choices. You can pick these up twice a year, in April and September. You can sample with family/friends at your leisure.
Do you offer dairy or egg free cakes?
- I do. I have a fantastic recipe for dairy and egg free chocolate cake. Please keep in mind tho, that my Cake studio is not a dairy free studio. I separate the orders from others and sanitize the equipment and tools used for the order.
How can I order my cake or cupcakes?
- I take orders either by phone 403 596 2195 or email sliceof_art@shaw.ca or my online form.
Can I supply my own design?
- Yes, absolutely! It is important that we work together to incorporate your style and tastes into your order. I work individually with each client to ensure your cake and/or cupcakes are tailored for your event.
Cake Tables deserve love too!
- Sometimes the cake table is overlooked. If there is a big Exit sign behind your table, it will be there in your photos.
Remember to add some decor to your cake table.
What cake flavors and fillings do you offer?
- I offer vanilla, almond, raspberry, strawberry, orange, banana, lemon, coconut, pumpkin, cream cheese, pistachio and confetti. Chocolate, Red Velvet and Carrot cake are a bit extra per tier due to the extra special ingredients that go into making them. Filling choices are vanilla or chocolate buttercream, flavored buttercreams such as salted caramel, tart lemon, raspberry, strawberry, banana, and Passionfruit. Specialty fillings such as fudge. marshmallow or cream cheese are a bit extra charge per tier.
Can I eat the flowers on the cakes?
- Although the gumpaste that I use is an edible product, one should not eat the sugar flowers. There are wires in the flowers, and they are wrapped for food sanitation and no cross contamination.
Do you make everything from scratch?
- I do. I bake with quality ingredients, such as fresh butter, milk, eggs. My Swiss meringue buttercream is soft and silky. It melts in your mouth. It is not as sweet as American buttercream. I can make whichever icing is more pleasing to your pallet.
Can I come and visit?
- I love to have guests, however, I apologize, I am by appointment only.
Can I eat the characters and decorations on the cake?
- Yes and no. The characters are made of either fondant or modeling chocolate. So of course you can eat them. However, structurally I use cookie sticks or spaghetti in the characters as well. I use mostly all edible items on your cake. If something is not meant to be eaten, I do tell you, and advise to remove the item prior to cutting your cake.
Are your cakes sturdy?
- Yes, of course. My tiered cakes are doweled with food grade plastic straws. I also dowel all the way thru the whole cake to keep it nice and sturdy.
Can I pick up my tiered cake and travel with it on the seat?
- No..definately not. I do not recommend any tiered cake to travel on a seat, or someone holding it. Things happen. I recommend a SUV or hatchback where the cake can ride flat. Some cakes that are 4 tiers or higher, I recommend delivery for.
