Cake is just another canvas.

I grew up drawing and painting long before I ever picked up a piping bag. When I found cake, I found a new canvas — and I have been painting on sugar ever since.

I started Mimsicle Cakes in 2015, working out of a home studio in Toronto. Every cake is made to order and made by hand. Most of them mark something: a wedding, a first birthday, an anniversary, the end of something hard.

I am self-taught, which is partly why I write the blog. Most of what I know came from getting it wrong first, and there is no reason the next person should have to do the same.
