The Vegan Birthday Cake

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

On very short notice back in the beginning of October I had a call from a mother of girl who was celebrating her birthday the following day. Her daughter “Christian” is also a vegan so she had heard about my bakery and decided to give it a try by ordering a birthday cake for her.

She called me on Monday afternoon as I was departing for the airport in Las Vegas after having enjoyed a quick jaunt away with my hubby for the weekend. She needed the birthday cake for the following day. I initally did not think it would be possible but, once confirming that she did not actually need it until the afternoon I said “absolutely”.

Her mom picked up the  vegan cake the following day on her way to meet her daughter for dinner at “Frankies Ristorante” in Uxbridge which is a speciality restuarant that caters to those that are “Gluten intolerant or have gluten allergies.” I had actually never heard of “Frankies” and have heard really quite the raves about it since and how they are also very accommodating for those with severe food allergies.

So, her daughter was thrilled with the birthday cake and her mother was most surprised as she never believed that something vegan could taste so good:

“It was really yummy! I especially liked the chocolate filling inside. My mom was surprised that something vegan could actually taste good! I have really enjoyed eating the cake—I have a piece every night, but it is so filling I can’t eat any more than that! My mom really liked the care you put into making sure it arrived safely by putting down the non-slip pad. Overall, the cake is delicious!”

Thank you for making it on such short notice and also for following up!

So, as you can see we can accomplish anything, even on short notice.
So, need a cake in a hurry, call us or email us it comes straight to us and we will always do our upmost to meet your requests.

A Girl’s First Allergen Free Cake!

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

“For Goodness Bakes” is beginning to earn its name! We believe everyone deserves a treat, that’s why we love to share stories about how we we’re able to help make that happen.

Recently Michelle, from Hamilton contacted me about her daughter “Alexis” who is 9 years old and has a severe egg allergy. Alexis hadn’t been able to enjoy a cake in  years due to her egg allergy.

Michelle decided to surprise her daughter with one of our allergen free cakes as she knew her daughter had been deprived of a special treat so many other kids get to enjoy regularly.

Alexis cake was inspired by her love of flowers and the colours pink, brown and green.     Birthday Cake


I was able to arrange delivery through P & G Delivery, they handle all of our out-of-town deliveries.

Michelle later followed up with this feedback:

Hi Connie,

The cake came and was perfect. No damage at all. My daughter loved it. She was so excited and loved the design you made on the cake. I want to tell you that you have a real talent. The cake was so beautiful and tasted really good for an eggless cake. So light and fluffy. I have given out your name to my sister who has a special child as well. She was going to get in contact with you when she comes home from her holiday. I will be in touch and I will be ordering from you on a regular basis.

Thank you so much again.
Michelle
