    Default Custom cakes

    I wanted to get a custom cake made for a birthday in a few weeks. Anyone have any recommendations for who to use?

    Amandine bakery is my normal choice. Decent.

    Cakeworks do some great creative cakes.

    Are we talking like DQ "Happy Birthday Billy" with a Spiderman picture? Or like a cake-that-looks-like-a-'56-chevy type custom cake? For the latter most of the cake makers I know book a few months in advance for that. If you're willing to drive I know 94 Take the Cake in Okotoks does fancy custom cakes and might have a slightly shorter window than something in the city.

    I have a relative that does the whole "cake that looks like something else" thing, and yeah, they take weeks of planning.
    I was assuming it was a "cake that tastes good and has simple decorations" kind of cake, that's all that I'd buy myself.

    I Lionels specialty cakes still around? That guy was the OG for the best tasting sheet cakes.

    Sucre, Crave, A Wish, Glamorgan, Fleur de Vanille, etc.

    Co-op for best value and excellent quality.

    Bliss if you need something that was made in a totally nut free facility.

    Costco if you want something REALLY SWEET.

    +1 for Amandine, they're also good if you have dietary restrictions. Not sure how custom they get though.

    Amadine has a bunch of the "specialty" types that are great. The plain ones are . . . plain.

    Contact Yvonne's, that kind of design she can pull off.

    She did a wicked easter bunny cake for my kid, eggs were perfectly shaped.

    Damn, she's the best I know of for custom stuff.

    Only other one I have experience with is Attitude Bakery in Airdrie. They did a good job with a Nemo B-day cake, that was a few years ago.
