About Sucré

Meet Shane and Sharon

Shane - co-founder

Sharon - co-founder

Shane's background is in Systems and Computer Engineering, with a consulting career spanning Fortune 100 companies. He brings structure, process discipline, and a technical eye to how each commission is planned, built, and delivered.

Sharon is an MD and spinal cord specialist in Physiatry, trained at the University of Toronto. The precision required in medicine informs her approach to pastry: exacting, thoughtful, and deeply attentive to the person in front of her.

Together, they built Sucré as a private custom cake atelier in Toronto, focused on commissioned cakes rather than volume production. From the beginning, the goal was not to become a larger bakery. It was to create better work.

Our Philosophy

Sucré was built on a simple belief: exceptional cakes are commissioned, not mass produced.

Every design begins with context - the event, the guest count, the venue, the atmosphere of the room, and the people being celebrated. From there, each commission is developed with intention in both structure and presence.

We operate as a private atelier rather than a traditional storefront bakery.

This allows the studio to remain focused on a smaller number of custom cake commissions, each approached with greater precision, refinement, and care.

We believe luxury is not only how a cake looks. It is how clearly the process is guided, how carefully the design is considered, how reliably the cake arrives, and how confidently it belongs in the room.

The goal is not volume. It is work we are proud to place our name on.

A Decade of Custom Cakes in Toronto

Since 2015, Sucré has created custom cakes for Toronto weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, and milestone moments. Over more than a decade, the atelier has grown in capability and reputation while remaining deliberately focused, consultation-led, and design-forward.

Each commission is evaluated for fit, timing, and creative alignment. We accept work selectively so that every cake can be planned and executed with the level of attention it deserves.

Luxury is not just appearance. It is reliability.

The Atelier Structure

Sucré functions as a true atelier built around specialisation. Each discipline is handled with intention, from calligraphy and fabrication to sugar flowers, sculpted detail, finishing, and flavour development.

No one here comes to work. We come to create.

Competition Recognition

Silver Winner
Icing Smiles · 2018

Every element pictured - the sculpted sugar high-heel shoe, butterfly wings, individual sugar flowers, draped fondant pillow, and hand-formed rope tassels - was crafted as edible sugar work. Only the rectangular board beneath is not edible.

This piece was entered into the Icing Smiles cake decorating competition in November 2018 and awarded Silver. It reflects the level of sculpted detail and structural precision that continues to inform Sucré's commissioned work.

For flavour and finishing options, see the Cake Guide. For custom cake commissions by occasion, explore Wedding Cakes, Birthday Cakes, Custom Cakes, or Corporate Cakes.

The Commissioning Process

Every Sucré cake begins with an evaluation of the brief, the event, and the fit. The studio accepts commissions based on availability, timing, and creative alignment, not simply because an inquiry was submitted.

When a design direction requires adjustment, we will say so clearly. Candour is part of the service. Our role is not only to produce a cake, but to guide the scale, finish, and visual effect so the final piece feels appropriate to the occasion.

1. Inquiry Share your event date, guest count, venue, and inspiration images through the Sucré quote form. These details help us understand the scale, structure, and design direction required.
2. Preliminary Guidance Sucré confirms availability and provides early direction on size, serving count, design complexity, and investment before the commission is refined.
3. Design Refinement Finish, flavour, structure, and decorative detail are aligned to your event context through direct consultation. We guide the visual impact from there.
4. Secure Your Date A nonrefundable 50% deposit confirms your production slot. The remaining balance is due 30 days before delivery. Weekend dates are limited and fill earliest between May and October.

Before commissioning, we invite you to read our Commission Agreement. Common questions about sizing, lead times, and delivery are answered in our FAQ.
