I have tasted some of the cakes noted above and they were both delicious and gorgeous. In terms of taste, the absolute best cake (beautifully decorated I might add) was from a company called Andrea B’s Fine cakes in the Toronto area. Her passionfruit cake is to die for…….
The passionfruit cake does sound amazing, but I’m a big fan of the wedding cake with the peacock feather cake decorations.
