High Rise Bakery

Introducing the Sophie cake!

This was one of the first cakes that I added to my menu: a coffee chiffon with a layer of chestnut cream, frosted with creamy French buttercream, topped with naturally dyed white chocolate ganache, and decorated with marzipan.

This cake is named after Sophie Blanchard, the first professional female hot air balloonist whose creativity and gall is a great inspiration for me. As I'm setting up my business here in Toronto I only hope that I can channel some of her adventurous spirit!

I'm doing limited orders in Toronto this summer, so check out my website for the menu and fill out a contact form to order. I am also doing a baking and tea tasting workshop. Check it out on my website at highrisebakery.ca 🎂

Hope you all had a happy Easter!

I didn't have the chance to make a cake for Easter this year since I was travelling, but here is last year's cake. Mini eggs are one of my favourite candies, so I paired them with chocolate buttermilk cake, German buttercream, coconut flakes, and a ganache nest.

Did you have any Easter treats this year?
