Wedding cakes in Toronto aren't in short supply if you know where to look. Brides have a wealth of talent to choose from when commissioning a wedding cake. These creative cake designers turn baking into an art form and their towering creations aren't just stunning focal points but delicious additions to any wedding.

Here are my picks for the top places to get wedding cakes in Toronto.

Bobbette & Belle
This bakery's two locations are highly reputed for making cakes as beautiful as they are delicious. Choose from nine flavours like red velvet or rich chocolate, combined with a choice of almost a dozen traditional Swiss meringue buttercream flavours like peanut butter or salted caramel. Signature tiered cake designs draw on fashion and textile designs featuring contemporary patterns, ombre gradients, embossed lace effects, and sugary adornments like flowers or ribbons.

Cake Opera Co.
Master cake designer Alexandria Pellegrino has closed her Eglinton West studio, but is set to relocate in 2015 to a new address on Queen St. West. Her extravagant original wedding cake designs are available for commission and are sure to be show-stoppers whether decorated in edible filigree, romantic motifs, or elegant architectural textures.

Select from the current cake collection or custom-design your own intricate and original wedding cake from this boutique bakery at Yonge and Lawrence. Cakes can be created in almost a dozen flavours including chocolate, hazelnut and maple brown sugar, and frosted in flavours like wild blueberry, espresso or dulce de leche. Designs include cascading florals, ruffles, antique lace textures and satiny ribbons.
