Today I stumbeled over Bonnie :-)
Bonnie Gordon is a cutting-edge designer who is setting a new standard in Canada for wedding cake style and design. Her cakes are edible sculptures, each an original and delicious work of art. From the time she showcased her first cake at “Toronto Taste”, a major fundraising event, Gordon’s cakes have wowed. Whimsical, captivating and meticulously designed, her cakes demand attention because of their beauty and uniqueness. They are centerpieces in every sense of the word.
Many people are curious about Bonnie’s background and she is often asked how she got started in the business. One could say designing “is in her blood”. She grew up surrounded by beautiful fabrics and gorgeous dresses. Her mother, Shirley Gordon, was a well-known Canadian fashion designer. As a child, Bonnie loved watching as her mother created fantasy ball gowns and gorgeous intricately beaded wedding dresses. The family trait had been passed on from her maternal grandfather, who was a high-end men’s clothing designer.
This cake took my brth away. It's not meant to be a wedding cake - but in the end, with small changes, why not?
Bonnie created this playful, off-centre and totally delightful cake for a Bat Mitzvah girl. Singled out in it's "Best of the City 2004", Toronto Life Magazine described the Topsy-Turvy cake as "..quaintly kooky, as if Martha Stewart were baking for a Russian czarina."
Famous blue pottery and a lovely handmade shawl, both purchased with great care in India by the bride prior to her wedding, inspired Bonnie to create this beautiful Pink Lotus Cake.
