Fall tones, florals & a little touch of gold.
There’s something so beautiful about the warm, rich colours on this cake! The burnt orange, deep burgundy and soft caramel florals paired with the blue tile-inspired detailing make this design such a statement.
One of my favourite parts of creating custom cakes is taking all of those little details and turning them into something completely unique for your celebration.
Custom cakes are still available!
As we transition away from our storefront, Special Occasion Cakes is continuing with pre-orders and custom orders from Aylmer, Ontario.

Today, we locked the doors at 132 Broadway Street for the very last time. 🤍

It’s hard to put into words what we’re feeling right now. Today is incredibly bittersweet. We are so excited for the journey ahead, but as we turned the lights off and locked that door one final time, we couldn’t help but be flooded with emotions and memories.

There were so many firsts within these walls. So many early mornings, late nights, celebrations, challenges, laughs and tears. So many cakes created, cookies decorated and treats baked. So many birthdays, showers, weddings, high teas and special events celebrated here.

But more than anything, there were you.

Over the years, so many of you walked through our doors as customers and somehow became so much more. We watched your families grow. We made cakes for birthdays year after year. We celebrated milestones alongside you. We learned your favourite treats and looked forward to seeing familiar faces walk through the door.

You became such a big part of our lives and of the story of Special Occasion Cakes.

For 10 incredible years, you have supported us, encouraged us, recommended us to your friends and families, trusted us with some of the most important moments in your lives, and watched us grow into the business we are today.

We truly could not have done any of this without you.

Closing the storefront doesn't mean the end of Special Occasion Cakes — it simply means the beginning of a new chapter. One that we're incredibly excited for. But we would be lying if we said saying goodbye to this chapter wasn't difficult.

132 Broadway Street will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. 🤍

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for every order, every visit, every kind word, every recommendation, every celebration and every memory.

Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your lives and for being such a huge part of ours.

Here’s to 10 amazing years, and to everything still to come. 🤍

With so much love and gratitude,
Special Occasion Cakes

Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or simply celebrating someone special, we love creating custom cakes made just for your occasion.

A little vintage buttercream beauty

Soft blush pinks, creamy ivory piping, delicate florals and those vintage-inspired details… there’s something so timeless about this style of cake. Every swirl, ruffle and little piped detail is created by hand to make your celebration feel extra special.

And this week feels a little extra special for us too.

This is officially the LAST WEEK our storefront will be open! It’s definitely bittersweet saying goodbye to this chapter, but Special Occasion Cakes isn’t going anywhere.

After the storefront closes, we’ll be moving to PRE-ORDERS & CUSTOM ORDERS ONLY, continuing to create the cakes, cupcakes, cookies and treats you’ve trusted us with for all of life’s special moments.

This change means a little less storefront life and a little more time to focus on what we love most — creating beautiful orders for YOU (and spending some much-needed extra time with our family).

Thank you for supporting our storefront over the years and for continuing with us into this next chapter. We truly couldn’t do it without you.

📍 Last week to visit us in-store!
🎂 Pre-orders & custom orders will continue after we close.

FRIENDLY PICKUP REMINDER

As we transition into our new pre-order only studio kitchen, we wanted to share a quick reminder about pickup locations!

Beginning in October all orders will be scheduled for pickup in Aylmer unless otherwise discussed.

We completely understand that Aylmer may not work for everyone! If you need a Tillsonburg pickup, please reach out when placing your order. We’re happy to see what arrangements can be made whenever possible.
