We ordered a beautiful two-tier cake for our engagement party in Toronto, and it was truly…read moreexceptional. Days later, we're still enjoying it and remarking on how delicious it remains. The top tier was red velvet, and the bottom was vanilla fudge (which my fiancé absolutely loves!) The cake was so good that we're turning the leftovers into cake pops just to keep enjoying it. Easily the best cake either of us has ever had. We couldn't recommend it more.

Walked in assuming I could buy a vegan birthday cake, but I was wrong. They only have eggless cakes…read morein stock and vegan need to be pre-ordered. The new store inside is classy and clean. Many multicoloured iMacs for the associates. The young associate I interacted with spoke so fast that it was hard to comprehend what she talked about and asked her to repeat several times. The mask doesn't help as well. Picked up an in-stock Pineapple Cake and a container of two small slices of what looked like Black Forest cake. The pineapple cake was liked and appreciated by all. The icing was specially mentioned as it wasn't too sweet. The vegan cake slices were a disappointment. The cake was too dry and I didn't enjoy a bit. In fact left it after eating half of the small slice and the other was discarded.

My friends ordered a box of 12 mini cupcakes for me. The packaging itself was very elegant, and I…read morecould see it being ordered for a special occasion (such as a wedding, birthday, or other special day). I'm not sure if you could choose what cupcakes came or if they had prepared boxes to choose from, but mine had 6 pairs of unique cupcakes (see picture for details). The cupcakes were not too sweet, which was nice as I sometimes feel I'm just eating sugar and nothing else (they were still sweet of course....just not SUPER sweet). The cream part seemed to be made of buttercream, and the dough part was also light. I liked the variety of options they had, and the cream part was designed very prettily with a flower motif. I haven't dealt with the customer service or looked at the costs, so I'm not sure how comparable it is to other places (my friends did all that...I just ate it :P) But if you like cupcakes, I would say to try it out.

I've been dying to come here and a chance finally came! I wasn't able to get as many flavours as I…read morewanted because we were getting dessert elsewhere, so I didn't want to fill up. I decided to get a Ferrero rocher macaron and a vanilla cupcake. I usually get a vanilla macaron as a tester but the Ferrero rocher flavour was interesting to me. The macaron was really good. Unfortunately I didn't get to fully enjoy it, as I was eating it outside in the heat and the chocolate and filling were melting rapidly. Even still, it was delicious. I definitely want to go back to try more flavours. The vanilla cupcake was good but not the best I've ever had. The cake was a little too dense for my liking but it wasn't horrible. I will come back to try the red velvet as that's the second flavour I usually try to judge a place on their cupcakes. Can't wait to come back! Wish they had later hours!

Wow! The cupcakes here are amazing !!! So delicious and pretty looking…read more My bfs sister bought these for us and it was love at first sight! My favourite flavours were red velvet and mango! The red velvet was just the perfect level of richness and sweetness! The buttercream on the mango cupcake tasted like mango bubble tea, so delicious!! The coconut flakes flavour tasted exactly like the Chinese coconut cream bun, unique for cupcake but nothing special! The raspberry flavour was just alright for me but the bf loved it! The worse flavour had to be chocolate- it tasted way too regular! Overall , I loved the cupcakes and would definitely return:)

Delicous! Stopped in…read moretoday with a work colleague to pick up some cupcakes for our co-workers birthday. The shop itself is so pretty and smelled incredible. The lady that helped us choose flavours was super sweet. Each of the cupcakes were so beautifully decorated, they all looked perfect. Our birthday girl at work was pleasantly surprised with the goodies and everyone was raving about the cupcakes. I tried the red velvet one and it was so tasty. The cake portion was moist and the generous heaping of buttery cream cheese frosting on top was amazing. Would definately come back again some day for a sugar fix or special occasion treats!

Good. Lord. I love…read morered velvet cake. I try to avoid hyperbole when possible but freakin' mother of all that is holy, that was the best red velvet cake I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will forever be ruined on all red velvet cakes thanks to Zehra. No joke. Greatest. Red Velvet. EVAR. I thought wedding cakes were supposed to be dry, and brick-like, and horrible in every way, but apparently they can look AND taste amazing. It's not a bakery where you can just go in and order things off a menu. Obviously, because Fine Cakes by Zehra is only available for bespoke cakes, and desserts designed specifically for weddings and wedding-related festivities. Really, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind about quality (see drooling crazy person rave above) and craftsmanship (see her website). But she knows that. She knows she's good, and you can tell as much when you meet her. She conveys confidence in her creative craft (alliteration for the win) and her interactions were (almost) intimidating for someone like me, who up until two months ago thought that all cakes were made by a lady named Betty Crocker. The consultation (appointment required, you can't just walk in to her studio) involved me, my fiancée, her sister, and my friend (who happened to be with us at the time) meeting with Zehra to discuss what we were wanting. And she managed to make me feel like a scared child while she threw out questions like a drill sergeant. Then it basically followed with what she envisioned for the cake to match our theme, and she was designing on the fly even as we were answering her questions (who am I kidding, I answered no questions). The samples she provided were amazing. I would have been happy continuing to think that wedding cakes are generally terrible tasting, but she's taken that away from me, forever. Then she gave us the price, and my heart skipped a beat. But like I said earlier, she knows she's good. And really, that's my only gripe (which is not really a gripe). She kind of gave off a vibe that said "This is how it is, and you can take it or leave it." And justifiably so because from what I can tell, she's sought after by a lot of people, and she's not really hurting for our business. We still haven't decided if we're going with her yet, because even after cutting our servings down severely, we were still left with a price that was higher than we had budgeted. And by the time we decide, she may very well be booked by someone else. For people who aren't limited by silly things like wedding cake budgets, knock yourselves out. She will give you crack cocaine in fancy cake form, and you will thank her for it.

Obsessed with our wedding cake! We told Zehra what we like…read moreand don't like in terms of style, colours, flavours etc. - she listened very carefully and asked us to leave it all in her hands.

You are truly very talented... and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

I don't know what I missed out on compared to other reviews here, but no way is this a 5 star…read morespecialty bakery. I thought I'd be satisfied based on the other reviews here, but buying a cake from this pseudo high end bakery was the biggest disappointment and biggest waste of $200.00 ever. After reading the rave reviews, I checked out their website and was indeed impressed with the multitude of product photos. One of them was so in line with what I was after, I called and placed an order for an exact replica of this previous creation, the only difference being the number (50 instead of 16). I requested red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. No new creative brainstorming required. They had a full week's notice for this one carbon copy cake so compared to the review that said they had no problem doing a full sweet table for a party on 3 days' notice, Idk what jacked up the price on this 6" cake to $200.00. I figured this is going to be one perfect cake. I called an hour before pickup to confirm for myself that it was ready and in I came to get it. It was waiting in the back so I waited on it to be brought out and when it did, it looked ok, if a little small. They brought it to the store front to take their stock photo and then had to figure out how to package it. I was pretty surprised when they brought out a regular little box to try to contain this cake for me to bring home, and watched in disbelief as they started figuring out how to finish the job with saran wrap and scotch tape. Yes, really, a tiny little regular cake box not even half the height of the cake, and the girl is pushing down the insert decorations all the way into the cake and applying saran wrap in pieces over it with scotch tape. I am very lucky I was a passenger with someone else driving, because I would have been terrified to have it sitting by itself in a moving car. When I did get it home, the packaging nightmare continued as I spent more than 5 minutes trying to remove the saran wrap taped all over the outside of the box while it stuck to the fondant decorations inside. When I finally got it out of the box, I could see the imperfections on the finish - finger smudge prints on the icing and loose ribbon on the bottom edge. And in the end, it didn't taste any better than a cake made from scratch by any other custom baker, or at home. It was competent, nothing more. Absolute waste of $200.00. Never again.
