All hatmakers get into it by accident. I had my dream job: I was working at Queen’s Park for a couple of politicians, but in the end, it wasn’t as perfect for me as I thought. I took a hatmaking course as a stress release, and [then left] the office. I studied with retired milliner Barbara Hobbs and had a table at St. Lawrence Market for two and a half years. Perhaps I was closeted about it [laughs], but I didn’t know I was artistic. I learned that by doing. I am the official milliner—the style guru—for the Queen’s Plate [Canada’s oldest thoroughbred horse race]. I advise people on what to wear: Just because it’s big and flashy doesn’t mean it’s good for the event. A milliner always wants everybody to look at the hat, but a great one should frame your face. The brim should not extend much more than an inch past your shoulders or it throws the scale off.

I had dreams of a classy and tasty assortment of chocolate and red velvet cupcakes for our special day and Bake Me Sweet delivered.

The cupcakes looked absolutely gorgeous complete with little monogrammed fondant hearts and tasted amazing (butter cream = so much yum) !

Our wedding guests also loved them and I still get comments from friends about how good they were (no kidding).  I can happily recommend Bake Me Sweet without hesitation for all of your cupcake/cake/sweet stuff needs.
