Le gâtelier

Today is cake testing day. I’m liking the texture of this but it’s not quite there. #recipetesting #legatelier

Time lapse Covid wedding cake decorating! #covidbride #covidwedding #legatelier #weddingcake #smallwed

Just before Christmas I made this lovely little wedding cake for Ellen and Ryan. Even though it was just the happy couple plus two witnesses, I was glad to help them make the day special with a cake crowned with pastel peonies and roses! #covidwedding #covidbride #legatelier #buttercreamflowers #montrealbaker

It’s whoopie pie day! Every December 28, I make whoopie pies for a guy who used to get them from his mom. If you look closely, you can see that I pumped up the flavour of the buttercream with vanilla paste. I think it might be one of the most delicious buttercreams I’ve ever made! Now that my baking is officially done for 2020, I’m probably going to make myself scarce for a couple days. See you in 2021! #legatelier #whoopiepie #vanillabean #montrealbakery

I love making my daughter’s birthday cake each year. Once again she went with chocolate cake (always!) with strawberry buttercream inside and vanilla buttercream outside. Wafer paper butterflies dance across the top. #birthdaycake #legatelier #waferpaper #buttercream #buttercreamflowers #mtldesserts #montrealbaker

Hey bûche class pals: check your inboxes. What? Don’t know about the bûche class? If you’re interested in making a spectacular dessert for your fam this Christmas, I can teach you how. Check out http://bit.ly/bucheclasspresale . I’ll be closing the presale group soon. If you’re local to me and feel like eating it but not making it, that’s also an option. Link in comments.

I love a challenge. This really fun cake is based on a painting by @norapaintings, but the dogs I put on there are Bubbles and Jack (seen here snuggled with the birthday gal)! Vanilla cake, lemon curd and lemon vanilla buttercream. I wonder if the dogs got a slice...

Mazel Tov Leo! I can’t believe I’ve known this young man for 13 years! This cake is based on a beautiful print by @wallsofivy. #barmitzvah #legatelier #montrealbarmitzvah #cakestagram

The first bûche of the season is in the fridge! If you’d like to learn how to make your own bûche de Noël, leave me a ! If you’d rather get one all made, leave me a ! #legatelier #buchedenoel #montrealbaker #514eats

Okay friends, I'm doing it. I'm offering the bûche de Noël class... as long as enough people sign up below. I'll only leave this up for a few days before I start recording so if you want to learn to make a bûche to delight your family (and yourself!) this year, please let me know you're in here: https://bit.ly/bucheclasspresale The class will be pre-recorded for you to follow along in your own time.

This memory popped up in my feed. These cakes are from 8 years ago and I was REALLY proud of them. When you cut them open there was a heart inside. I should make one of those again one of these days!

It’s been a while since I made a flower cake! I decided to take full advantage of the creative control I was given and create a bouquet of roses and ranunculus. Two and a half layers of chocolate cake and chocolate ganache are waiting inside the vanilla buttercream exterior to celebrate a lovely gal. #montrealbaker #buttercreamflowers #legatelier #mtleats

Chocolate+chocolate+black cocoa+a red bow tie makes for a sweet and dapper bear. I love being able to help make someone’s birthday special even when the world is a bit upside down! #legatelier #teddybearcake #montrealbaker #birthdaycake #514eats

When a little cutie gives you a drawing of a dark and gold cake with purple and one black! gem, you deliver! This six year old is nuts about the combo of chocolate and lemon. It’s not a typical mix but I love making people’s cake dreams come true! #legatelier #montrealbaker #514eats #mtlsweets

This year will be a Christmas to remember so it’s my goal to help you make it as special as possible for you and your bubble. I’m offering a limited number of bûches de Noël to help make your holiday special. The bûches are gluten free chocolate génoise, filled with chocolate cream, covered in a mocha French buttercream and accompanied with meringue mushrooms. Visit bit.ly/buchedenoel2020 for more information and to reserve yours. #legatelier #christmasdessert #noel2020 #buchedenoel #yulelog #madeinmontreal

Happy Halloween! This cake is chocolate with a strawberry compote filling and chocolate buttercream mixed with ganache on the outside. #legatelier #halloweencake #spidercake #creepycakes #madeinmtl #514eats #montrealbaker

This was the scene this morning. 300 ghosts. This is also officially the last call. I have maybe two extra bags of ghosts. A few cupcakes and maybe a few cookie kits. Zoom invitations have been sent for the cookie decorating party! If you want to join us tell me soon! #legatelier

If you want ghostmallows, best act quickly! I’m running out! #legatelier #halloween2020 #514eats

I really want to help you make halloween special for the kids (or yourselves!) this year so I've concocted some special treats.

Here’s another shot of yesterday’s cake! My daughter has already declared that she HAS TO HAVE butterflies on her cake at the end of November so I’m already planning it out! #legatelier #montrealbaker #butterflycake #buttercreamflowers

I was so glad to use cake delivery as an excuse to wish my friend a happy birthday in person. She’s dairy free and gluten free so the cake is GF chocolate cake with a peanut butter filling. The dairy free buttercream makes me tear my hair out in frustration but I was glad to put in the effort for my pal! #legatelier #montrealbaker #gluenfreebaking #dairyfreeglutenfree
