Valentine’s Day has a way of sneaking up quietly… 💕

One minute it’s just another winter week and the next, you’re wishing you’d planned something that felt a little more thoughtful.

This is your gentle nudge to start dreaming now. About small gestures that mean something. About desserts that feel intentional, not last-minute.

No rush. No pressure. Just a reminder that the sweetest moments are usually the ones you plan with a little care 🥰

This Olaf cake was a little test of patience and precision! Learning how to work with isomalt to create a clear globe moment just so this sweet little guy could live inside it ☃️

It was made for a 5th birthday, which somehow makes the magic feel even bigger. Because at that age, wonder is everything! ❄️

Getting to experiment, problem-solve, and turn something playful into something intentional is one of my favourite parts of this work. And when a kind review comes back afterward… it makes every tiny detail feel worth it!

Cakes like this are such a reminder: joy lives in the creativity, and magic lives in the moments we make for others 💙

Behind The Buttercream: Part 3 ✨

A beautiful cake should taste just as intentional as it looks!

Sometimes saying no is about freshness, texture, and flavour. Choosing techniques that honour the experience, not just the aesthetic. If something compromises how the cake is enjoyed, it’s not the right choice for me (or you)!

The yes only matters because the no exists. That’s how I protect the full experience, from the first look to the last bite! 💕

Behind The Buttercream: Part 2 ✨

Inspiration tells me what you’re drawn to. It shows mood, feeling, intention. But replication doesn’t leave room for meaning…

Every cake I design is built around you, the space it lives in, the moment it’s part of, and the story it’s meant to tell. That’s how something becomes personal instead of borrowed! 🥰

Your cake shouldn’t look like everyone else’s. It should feel like it belongs exactly where it is!

Behind The Buttercream: Part 1 ✨

Saying no isn’t about limitation, it’s about responsibility!

Every cake that leaves my studio carries my name, my standards, and the weight of the moment it’s meant to celebrate. Sometimes protecting that means turning down ideas that don’t align with how I work, what I value, or the experience I promise.

Because the final result matters and so does how it gets there. This is how I protect the outcome you’ll remember forever! 💕

“Going all out” isn’t about excess. It’s about presence 🍒

You don’t remember what was practical, you remember how the moment felt! The energy in the room, the people gathered, the pause before the first slice was cut.

Dessert often becomes the emotional centerpiece. It’s photographed, shared, talked about, and remembered long after the day is over.

Choosing a cake that feels thoughtful and beautiful is a way of saying “this moment mattered.” Whether it’s a wedding, a birthday, or a gathering at home that deserves more than “just fine.”

Regret doesn’t come from celebrating fully. It comes from playing it safe. This is your permission to choose joy. To choose beauty. To choose something made just for you! 💕

From the outside, ordering a cake can look simple. You share an idea, I make the cake, you pick it up. Easy.

But what makes a cake feel special, the kind people remember, is everything you don’t see.

Behind every order is a moodboard, a sketch, a colour story, and hours spent thinking about how this cake should feel, not just how it should look. It’s considering the moment it’s for, the people it’s celebrating, the emotion it’s meant to hold. It’s refining details, reworking designs, and sometimes losing a little sleep to make sure it’s right.

That’s the part I care about most.

Because my goal isn’t just to deliver a cake, it’s to create something meaningful, intentional, and worthy of the moment it’s part of. That’s where the magic comes from. That’s the expertise you’re trusting. And that’s why each cake is more than just dessert! 💕

Choosing who creates for your celebration is about more than the final result…

It’s about trust. About how it feels to hand a moment over to someone and know they’ll treat it with care. You’re not just hiring a service, you’re inviting someone into a memory in the making 💕

The right fit notices the details because they understand what’s at stake. They communicate thoughtfully. They think ahead. They show up with your story in mind!

Because how the experience feels becomes part of what you remember, not just what was on the table! You and your event deserve to feel supported, understood, and confident from start to finish. That’s what protects the moment! 🥰

Not everything has to be practical to be meaningful! Sometimes the most worthwhile choice is doing something simply because it feels good 😌 because it brings you back into the moment. Because it lets your hands slow down and your mind soften for a while.

Cake and cupcake decorating classes aren’t about becoming the best 🍰 they’re about choosing joy. Choosing creativity. Choosing to make something beautiful with no expectation beyond the experience itself!

You don’t need a reason. You don’t need a goal. You don’t need to be “good” at it. You just need the desire to play, to create, to turn an ordinary evening into something you’ll remember!

Presence looks a lot like buttercream on your hands and laughter at the table. And sometimes, that’s more than enough! Link in bio to grab you and your bestie a ticket to the next cake or cupcake decorating class! 💕

Vintage-style cakes aren’t having a moment, they’ve always belonged!

They feel familiar in the best way. Like birthdays at home, candles flickering on the table, celebrations that didn’t need to be loud to be meaningful. Nostalgic, yes, but never dated 💕

They’re rooted in craftsmanship ✨ Every piped detail, every layer of texture takes time, care, and intention. You can feel the hands behind them. That’s why they never feel mass-produced… they feel personal.

They fit every kind of celebration. Big milestones, quiet moments, once-in-a-lifetime days and everyday joys. They don’t compete with the moment, they gently elevate it 💖

And most of all, they make people feel something. Comfort. Joy. Warmth. A sense of being held by the moment you’re in! Years from now, when you look back at the photos, these cakes won’t feel “on trend.” They’ll feel like part of the memory itself. Timeless doesn’t chase attention, it stays with you!

Wedding cakes and dessert bars are becoming part of the design, not just the menu!

For 2026, I’m seeing three styles shape how couples are approaching dessert:

• Neo-Deco with architectural lines, deep tones, and gold accents
• Cool Blue dessert bars built on calm, monochromatic layers
• Lace and vintage textures with finer piping, delicate details, and an heirloom feel

This shift is about more than trends. Dessert is no longer a final course, it’s an experience, a visual moment, and a way to wow guests long after the evening ends!

I’ve expanded on these cake and dessert bar trends in a new blog post, sharing how couples are reimagining dessert tables, cake-cutting moments, and the overall flow of the celebration. [link in bio]

If you’re a 2026 bride dreaming up a cake and dessert experience that feels intentional, elevated, and completely your own, I’d love to invite you to book a cake tasting consultation. This is where we design something truly unforgettable 🤍

Some weddings are remembered for the dress.
The music.
The flowers.

And then there are the ones where guests say,
“Can we talk about the dessert?”

Because a great cake isn’t just pretty — it’s part of the experience.
And a thoughtfully curated dessert bar? That’s where the magic lingers.

If you’re planning a 2026 wedding and want a dessert moment your guests will still be talking about on the drive home… you’re in the right place.

Inquire via the link in my bio

Some desserts do more than get served, they become part of the memory!

Number cakes aren’t about trends or aesthetics for the sake of it. They’re about marking a moment on purpose! 👏

A birthday that mattered. A year worth celebrating. A milestone you don’t want to rush past.

Fully customized, visually impactful, and designed to reflect the person or moment being celebrated, not just the number on the cake ✨ Every colour, texture, and detail chosen with intention, so it feels personal, thoughtful, and unmistakably theirs.

Because the right dessert doesn’t just feed the room. It sets the tone, adds personality, and quietly turns an ordinary moment into something unforgettable! 💕

VOGUE: part three ✨

Let’s talk about the part we don’t usually share…

When you hear “Vogue wedding,” you imagine light-filled rooms, intentional moments, and details being captured exactly as you envisioned.

That wasn’t my experience.

There were disconnects. Missed moments. Images that didn’t reflect the work the way I hoped.

And months later, the feature itself is still unresolved 🤷‍♀️

But here’s what I’ve learned:
Not every milestone looks the way you expect it to.

And sometimes growth isn’t about the recognition, it’s about how you carry yourself when things don’t go as planned.

The work still mattered.
The integrity still mattered.
And I’d choose that every time 💕

For more juicy details, head to my blog post, link in bio!

VOGUE: part two ✨

The day finally arrived!

The cake was finished.
The dessert bar was set.
And I felt proud of what I created.

There’s a quiet kind of excitement when you see months of planning come together, when the details you obsessed over finally exist outside your studio.

But sometimes, even when everything looks right…
the moment feels different than you imagined.

And you don’t realize it yet but you’re standing at the start of a lesson!

VOGUE: part one ✨

Being chosen to create a cake for a wedding connected to Vogue is one of those moments you don’t forget!

Not because of the title, but because someone saw your work and trusted your vision.

I was given a palette, a feeling, and creative freedom.
Classic elegance. Intentional design. Thoughtful details.

Moments like this remind me why I do what I do.
Why every choice matters.
Why cake can be more than dessert, it can be part of the story!

This was the beginning of one I’ll always remember.

December was full in every way 🤍

Full of meaningful moments, creative pauses, long days, late nights, and so much gratitude!

Closing out 2025 feeling incredibly thankful — for the people who show up, the traditions that keep coming back, and the trust placed in my hands year after year 💕

Ending the year with a full heart and stepping into the new one feeling inspired. Happy New Year ✨

Here they are! The cake moments YOU loved most on Instagram in 2025 ✨

The posts you double-tapped.
The cakes you commented on.
The designs that clearly stopped the scroll!

From timeless favourites to bold statement cakes, these were the ones that sparked the most love, conversation, and “okay WOW” moments this year. And honestly? Seeing what caught your eye was just as fun as creating them! 🥰

Which one’s your favourite?!

Every new year asks something of us. But before it asks what we’re ready for… it quietly asks what we’re willing to release.

1. The habit of shrinking to fit.
I’m done squeezing myself into spaces that can’t hold the fullness of my vision. If it requires me to dim, it’s simply not mine.

2. Saying yes when my heart is whispering no.
This year taught me how costly those mismatched yeses are — in energy, in creativity, in joy. 2026 gets my aligned yeses only.

3. Overexplaining my worth.
My work speaks. My clients speak. My results speak. I don’t need to negotiate my value with people who were never meant to understand it.

4. The belief that I have to do it all, right now.
There is a pace for my life and a pace for my business and neither require urgency to be successful. The right things unfold when I do.

5. Carrying other people’s expectations like they’re my responsibility.
No more worrying if someone is disappointed that I chose a different path, a different offer, a different rhythm. 2026 is for autonomy, sovereignty, and self-trust.

6. Chasing validation I no longer need.
I’m leaving behind the need to prove myself. I’ve already done that. Now I’m building from grounded confidence, not frantic comparison.

7. Hustle culture’s definition of “enough.”
I’m not interested in burnout as a badge of honor. In 2026, ease, intention, and artistry get the spotlight.

8. Doing things the way I’ve always done them simply because it’s familiar.
If it isn’t serving the current version of me — the one stepping into bigger, higher, more aligned spaces — it gets left at the door.

9. Apologizing for wanting more.
Desire is not a flaw. Ambition is not too loud. I get to crave beauty, expansion, and a life that feels fully lived.

10. Forgetting to savor the moment I’m in.
If 2025 taught me anything, it’s this. Life is happening in the little pauses between achievements. I am leaving behind the habit of rushing past them.

As I step into 2026…
I’m choosing space. I’m choosing alignment. I’m choosing the version of me who leads with clarity, softness, confidence, and a deep sense of purpose.

Merry Christmas, sweet friends!🎄✨

This season always reminds me that the best gifts aren’t wrapped, they’re shared. Time, laughter, dinner tables filled with familiar faces, and the quiet ways we show each other love.

This year, I got to share something special with you, too. From every cake ordered to every box of holiday treats you brought into your homes… your support was more than business, it was trust, celebration, and the chance to be a small part of your memories.

And that has been the greatest gift of all!

Wishing you a Christmas full of warmth, wonder, and the kind of sweetness that lingers long after the day is over. Here’s to more memories, more magic, and more cake! 🍰

Christmas is here! Not just in the lights or the playlists, but in the slower moments that smell like cinnamon and feel like cozy socks on a cold morning 🥰

It’s in the cookies cooling on the counter, the wrapping paper scattered on the floor, the hot chocolate that somehow tastes richer today than it did all month.

There’s something wonderfully quiet about this part of the season… the in–between before the celebration begins. A soft kind of magic that asks us to pause, look around, and take it all in while it’s still unhurried.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! 🎄

It’s not the perfection of the décor, the size of the crowd, or how “picture-worthy” the moment turns out.

It’s the passing of plates, the familiar laughter, the small gestures that say stay a little longer. Because love doesn’t need wrapping paper to make an entrance. It shows up in the places we make room, the warmth we offer, and the memories we create just by being together 💕

And in moments like these… no effort is ever wasted, and no love ever goes unseen!

There’s something peaceful about preparing a table before anyone arrives… folding a napkin, placing a candle, choosing the plate that feels just right. Not to impress, but to welcome.

The calm moments of hosting matter just as much as the gathering itself. They’re little acts of care that say, “I’m glad you’re coming. I made space for you.”

Entertaining was never meant to be about perfectly styled place settings or Pinterest-worthy spreads. It’s about creating a place where people feel relaxed enough to stay, talk, eat slowly, and feel at home.

The table doesn’t have to be extravagant. It just needs intention, warmth, and the quiet effort of someone who cares. That’s the heart of hosting ❤️ simple, thoughtful, and meant to be shared.

There’s something magical about a table that makes people slow down. Maybe it’s the candlelight… maybe it’s the pretty napkins… maybe it’s the promise of dessert still to come 🥰

But hosting, real, heart-led hosting, is never about perfection. It’s about making people feel seen, welcomed, and wrapped in the warmth of your effort.

A beautiful table says you matter.
A pause between courses says stay a little longer.
A favourite dish says this night is special.

And dessert? Dessert is the quiet finale that ties the whole evening together 🍰

If you’re dreaming up gatherings for the season ahead (or planning events next year), save these tips for when you want to create a moment your guests will still be talking about long after the candles burn out. Hosting is love made visible 💕

Some years, the season rushes by before we even notice the lights ✨ The days fill up, the weeks blur, and suddenly Christmas is gone in a blink, but the magic was never meant to be hurried.

It lives in the pauses… the quiet mornings before the house wakes up, the cookies we decorate a little slower, and the way a warm mug of hot chocolate seems to stop time for just a moment.

Because hot chocolate isn’t really about the drink itself, it’s about leaning into the warmth, letting the steam rise slowly, holding the cup with both hands like it’s asking us to stay awhile ☕️

It turns minutes into memories, reminding us that the season feels sweeter when we take it in sip by sip. This year, let’s linger a little longer

There’s a certain moment in December when the whole house starts to smell like cinnamon and stories. Warm kitchens, slow afternoons, spices drifting through the air like memory itself. Gingerbread has a way of making the season feel softer ♥️

The ginger, the cloves, the sweet molasses warmth… suddenly we’re back in childhood kitchens, waiting by the oven, feeling safe and seen without even knowing why.

It isn’t just a recipe. It’s the comfort of tradition, the calm we didn’t realize we needed, the quiet joy of something homemade and unhurried.

Here’s to the little rituals that make this time of year feel like home 🥰 The mixing, the decorating, the sharing, the simple magic of gingerbread season.

The art of holiday hosting isn’t really about perfectly folded napkins or matching glassware.

It’s about the way we make people feel when they step into our space… welcomed, seen, and genuinely cared for. It lives in the soft lighting, the shared desserts, the extra chair pulled up without hesitation 💕

It’s the small effort that says, “I’m glad you’re here.” And it goes both ways! Hosting and being hosted. We honor the hands that cooked, the table someone thoughtfully set, the love behind every detail… simply by showing up with presence, gratitude, and real participation.

Whether it’s at our own table or around a friend’s, holiday hosting becomes something shared, a little celebration built from connection, intention, and the joy of feeling both welcomed and welcoming 🥰

Instead of another gift that gets tucked away and forgotten, give them something they’ll actually remember: a night of creativity, sweets, laughter, and the joy of making something with their own two hands! 🍰

A cake decorating class feels a little like stepping into a story… cozy, fun, and full of tiny moments they’ll talk about long after it’s over! 🎁 It’s the kind of present that turns into an experience, and an experience that turns into a memory.

Perfect for the baker, the beginner, the hobby-collector, or anyone who loves learning something beautiful just for the sake of it.

They’ll walk away with a cake they decorated themselves… and you’ll walk away as the one who chose the gift they truly loved! 🥰

It’s funny how the simplest moments become the ones we remember most 🤎

A tray of gingerbread cookies, a bit of icing, sticky fingers, proud little smiles… and suddenly, it feels like Christmas.

Years from now, we won’t remember how the cookies looked, just the laughter, the sweetness, and the tiny hands that made them special! 🥰

And the funny part is… it’s rarely about having more desserts 🍪

It’s about creating a moment that feels intentional, familiar, and warm, the kind of holiday spread that looks like it belongs to the celebration, not just next to it 🎄

A curated dessert bar has a little structure (a rhythm your eyes can follow),
a little personality (textures, twinkling touches, cozy color tones),
and enough practicality so you aren’t stressed when guests start reaching for their favorites. Because when it all flows, it feels like Christmas!

Not chaotic. Not rushed. Just nostalgic, inviting, and easy to enjoy, the way holiday gatherings are meant to be! A dessert bar shouldn’t just feed your guests… it should make the room feel more magical ✨

Life is short… and honestly, it deserves to be celebrated like it matters!

If there’s ever a time to go a little over the top, to choose the cake that’s too pretty to eat, to let the dessert become a moment all on its own… it’s now.

Because the things we remember most aren’t the practical choices… they’re the joyful ones. The ones that make us pause, smile, and say, “wow”

So bring out the cake that steals the spotlight. Let it be big, beautiful, and just a little extra. Because the truth is, it’s always worth it! 🍰

November felt like one big inhale before the holiday whirlwind… and honestly? I loved every minute of it!

Cakes I’ve been dying to try finally made their way onto my table, markets were buzzing with Christmas magic, Karina and I played “editorial queens” at our photoshoot, and I even managed to sneak away with my family for our Spruce Meadows tradition.

Behind the scenes it looked like: flour everywhere, late-night sketching, early morning icing, a lot of ribbon cutting, and even more gratitude.

Here’s a little peek inside the moments that made this November feel so full ❤️✨

(And now… bring on December. I’m ready!)

There’s something about a Christmas table dressed in deep greens and classic reds that instantly pulls you back in time! The kind of nostalgia that feels warm before you’ve even sat down 🥰

This year’s tablescape was built around that feeling:
a forest-green silk cloth that drapes like a holiday storybook, soft touches of red, gentle twinkle lights, and layers of greenery that make the whole room feel alive.

It’s simple, but intentional.
Cozy, but elevated.

A table that feels like Christmas in the way we remember it… familiar, comforting, and just a little magical around the edges. A space made for lingering, for second helpings, for the kind of evening that feels like it could only happen in December 🎄

A gentle little note… we’re nearing the end of holiday orders. Just a few spots left before everything closes for the season 🎁

Christmas has this way of pulling us back into the moments that shaped us. The cozy evenings, the familiar smells, the quiet magic that used to feel so effortless.

That’s what this year’s collection leans into:

Treats that feel warm and welcoming, a little nostalgic, a little sentimental, the kind that make your home feel instantly more like Christmas.

So if you’ve been wanting to slow things down, to make space for the moments that actually matter, this is your chance to bring a little of that magic to your table before the season slips by 🎄

Christmas feels different when you slow down enough to notice it 😌

Every treat this year was designed for *that* kind of Christmas. The kind that reminds you of storybooks and old movies, ceramic trees with glowing bulbs, and the quiet magic that used to feel so simple.

A season filled with intention. With care. With sweetness that feels familiar, comforting, and slow.

An Old World Christmas… in dessert form 🎄

If you’re still hoping to bring a little magic to your table, tomorrow is the very last day to order! Link in bio!

When I say “Old World Christmas,” I mean tiny confections that look like they belong in a scene from Little Women ♥️

The ornament truffles.
The holly cakesicles.
The piped plaid and vintage colours.

Each one was designed to feel like a sweet little piece of nostalgia. The kind of treat you’d find tucked into stockings, wrapped in velvet ribbon, or set out on a table lit by candlelight 🕯️

They’re small, but they carry the kind of magic we don’t outgrow 🎄

Some cakes are made for gathering…

The kind you place in the center of a long table,
where everyone cuts a slice as they laugh, talk, and linger. Simple, cozy, effortless, a dessert that feels like togetherness.

And then there are the cakes meant to be admired before they’re tasted…

The ones that look like they stepped out of a vintage Christmas card. Soft piping, heirloom details, a little moment of magic that turns the whole room warm.

Whether you’re craving ease or a centerpiece that feels like a story, there’s a cake for the way you want Christmas to feel! ♥️

I heard you were looking for the taste of Christmas you grew up with, and i was hoping you would find me!

This year’s holiday boxes are almost sold out, be sure to grab yours before doors close! Head to the link in bio.

There are still a few spots left if you’ve been eyeing something cozy, nostalgic, and a little bit sweet for December.

No rush — just an invitation to step into this soft, old-world Christmas with me! 🎄

There’s something special about a dessert bar at Christmas 🍪

Not because it’s elaborate, but because it brings back a little of that childhood wonder.

Guests wandering over between conversations, choosing a cookie here, a tiny square there… a quiet moment of delight that makes everyone smile.

It’s less about the sweets and more about the feeling…

a warm, unhurried pause in the evening where people gather, taste, and feel cared for ♥️

Old world greens and cranberry reds ♥️
Sweater textures your grandma might’ve knitted 🧶
A little wreath. A little mitten. A vintage truck hauling home Christmas cheer 🎄
Everything you loved about Christmas as a kid… baked into a box 🎁

#okotoksbakery #christmassugarcookies

Every year there’s one piece that becomes the heart of the collection… and this is the one 🎄

This little tree started as a sketch in my notebook, inspired by those ceramic Christmas trees so many of us remember from childhood!

The ones with the tiny coloured pegs you’d push in one at a time, feeling like you were decorating something magical… and when you finally plugged it in, the whole room glowed ✨

That’s the feeling I wanted to recreate.

When I say I wanted an Old World Christmas…
this is exactly what I meant.

A cake that looks like it stepped out of a storybook! Textured buttercream branches, vintage sprinkles that mimic those little lights, and a ribbon winding around the tree like it’s been there for decades.

It’s nostalgic.
It’s whimsical.
It’s the kind of Christmas magic we all secretly still hope for! 🥰

I’ve been dreaming about Christmas during my rebrand for months… imagining the look, the feel, the whole cozy world I wanted to build. And somewhere between late-night inspo scrolls and a very overloaded Pinterest board… it finally clicked ✨

And obviously, the moment the vision came together, I knew exactly who was perfect for the project: @2am.illustrations . She just gets it. Every time. From the big-picture ideas to the tiniest edits, she brings everything to life in a way that feels like magic, literally.

I cannot WAIT to show you the rest of this year’s Christmas launch 🎄
