| High Tea, anyone |
I love weddings. I believe this has become more than obvious! I love absolutely every single thing about them, from the first course of the reception dinner down to the tulle in the bride's underskirt. But there is one thing that I cannot take my nuptial-addicted eyes off of for a second lest my heart fail.
That's right! The cake! Oh don't look at me like that.
Before I threw myself into publishing, I wanted desperately to be a professional wedding cake designer, and I coveted, hourly, the gorgeous cakes of the masters who were out there making the most beautiful, delicious things I'd ever seen. But right now, right this second, right in your very city my fabulous prairie brides, there is your very own master around the corner. It's a company that, believe me, is doing way more than my little buttercream dreams can manufacture!
High Tea Bakery has been a known name in Winnipeg for delicious treats and elegant cakes for years. And as time, and trends, move on, they've been powering through and coming out with cakes that are more art pieces than wedding yummies! (But believe me, they're still yummy, don't worry.)
But elegant tier cakes, as lucious as the bows and flowers are, are not all that High Tea Bakery restricts their innovative scope to. They are also known in Winnipeg for their amazing 3-D fondant cakes the likes of which would make the contestants on Cake Boss swoon.

But obviously that's not enough! C'mon, is it possible to get enough of them? High Tea Bakery also offers a wide range of cupcakes, cookies, and petit fours for your varying tastes. If you're like me, then yes, you'll have many.
See, I wasn't kidding when I said that High Tea Bakery had it all to satisfy your every craving! Now it's up to you to venture down to 2013 Portage Avenue and see these gorgeous creations for yourself. Should you be planning your wedding and curious about prices, you can also

Now, unlike other cake designers in Winnipeg, Cake Studio does not have a retail outlet. Winner of Wedding Wire's Bride's Choice Awards 2011, they are Winnipeg's first and only by appointment custom cake studio, going along the same vein as 'Ace of Cakes' or 'Ron Ben Israel'. Their immense portfolio is filled with entirely-commissioned client pieces for special events, birthdays, and, of course, weddings. 
Also, the best part about decorative sugarpaste or gumpaste components is that you can save them as a keepsake from the cake, rather than stuffing the entire thing behind your china cabinet. It's also a nice alternative to keeping the usual bride and groom/monogram topper should you choose to discard those entirely. This is something I'd definitely go for. As always, all recipes are made from scratch, and, of course, love.
Besides cakes, Cake Studio provides a wide selection of custom cupcakes, cakelettes, dessert buffets, cookie favours, and chocolate and sugar showpieces. In addition to creating for you a cake of epic proportions, Cake Studio provides on-site delivery, on-site set up, pick up, and tastings.
