Hey, I’m Jen—a luxury cake designer with a flair for creating stunning, gluten-free desserts that make every occasion unforgettable!
Living with celiac disease has fueled my passion for crafting exquisite cakes and desserts that everyone can enjoy, regardless of dietary restrictions.
In this blog, you’ll get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at my adventures in the world of luxury cake design. From the hustle and bustle of bridal shows to the intricate process of crafting breathtaking wedding cakes.
I’ll take you along for the ride as I navigate the challenges and triumphs of my craft.
I promise to provide insights, tips, and inspiration that will ignite your passion for all things dessert.
Join me as we explore the artistry of cake design, celebrate the beauty of gluten-free indulgence, and create memories that last a lifetime.
The Single Malt of Cupcakes is a bold claim. Maybe it is a bit cocky, but I rather think it is confidence. I mean, as a connoisseur, would you want to have cupcake, especially a cupcake subscription, from someone who thought their product was passable, adequate, or comparable?
At JL Cake, you are welcomed to a world where indulgence meets artistry, where every bite is a celebration of flavour, and where luxury is not just a concept but an experience. The Luxury Cupcake Subscription by JL Cake—a monthly journey into exquisite taste that will tantalize your senses and elevate your dessert game.
Again, we reached out to Hayley Biggs of HYB Luxury Marketing, an advanced luxury wedding marketer and business coach based in the UK. This time, we specifically asked what here concept of a luxury cupcake would be.
“…the whole experience of buying and enjoying these cupcakes would be a treat in itself…”
Hayley Biggs of HYB Luxury Marketing
She shares: “If I were buying luxury cupcakes, there are a few things that would really make them stand out from your average cupcake. First off, the ingredients would have to be top-notch—think organic, locally-sourced ingredients or something a bit more exotic, like a unique flavor or even a touch of edible gold.
The craftsmanship would be another big factor; these cupcakes wouldn’t just taste good, they’d look like little works of art, with beautiful, intricate designs. The presentation would be next-level too, with elegant packaging that makes the whole experience feel special right from the start.
I’d also expect a bit of personalisation—maybe the option to choose flavours, designs, or even have something custom-made for a special occasion. And finally, the whole experience of buying and enjoying these cupcakes would be a treat in itself, with personalised service or even a memorable delivery that makes the indulgence feel truly luxurious.”
Those are big shoes to fill; at JL Cake, we strive to do so, consistently and with finesse. Join me as I explore how JL Cake fulfills this role in our market.
To explore the concept of luxury cake and cupcakes in general read Celiac Craving Cake’s blog Defining Luxury-What makes a luxury cake or cupcake? And, Can Gluten-Free Be Luxury?
At JL Cake, we believe that true luxury begins with the finest ingredients. Our gourmet cupcakes are crafted using only the highest quality. Imagine rich, velvety chocolate made from organic cocoa and real vanilla bean that dances on your palate. Each ingredient is meticulously selected to ensure that every cupcake is not just a treat, but a masterpiece of gourmet flavour.
In this world of luxury, we understand that connoisseurs of flavour seek authenticity and depth. Our cupcakes are not just desserts; they are an experience, akin to savoring a fine single malt whiskey. Each bite reveals layers of complexity, inviting you to explore the nuances of taste that only the best ingredients can provide.
As someone with celiac disease, I firmly believe luxury cupcakes and cake should not be solely be available to wheateaters. To be clear, I have nothing against wheateaters, other than their cross-contamination risk.
I source ingredients that allow more of use to enjoy gourmet cupcakes together. Many of my clients opt to have their products prepared with the gluten-free flour mix JL Cake stocks from Cut Cooking.
It is understandable and completely reasonable, if not sensible, that products produced in any bakery are not suitable for someone choosing to follow a gluten-free diet or for someone with celiac disease who has no option to follow a gluten-free diet for life. Sometimes, the risk of cross-contamination is too high. However, if you choose to have the product made in a kitchen run by someone with celiac, the world of options opens up, and the world of luxury opens to the gluten-free consumers!
Creating a luxury cupcake is an art form, and at JL Cake, I take this craft seriously. I honed my artistic side as a graphic artist for nearly 20 years designing and creating signs and decals. I love returning to my home town and still seeing a sprinkling of my work throughout the community. I consider myself not just a baker but an artisan who pours my passion and creativity into every batch. Each cupcake is handcrafted with precision, ensuring that it not only tastes divine but also looks stunning.
From the delicate swirl of our signature buttercreams to the intricate edible decorations that adorn each cupcake, every detail is thoughtfully considered. Our commitment to craftsmanship means that you receive not just a dessert, but a work of art that deserves to be savored.
I love symphonies. When my husband and I lived closer to Saskatoon, a larger city in our rural province of Saskatchewan, we often travelled there to hear the symphony.
I particularly loved the sound of the accompanying choir in the old churches along Spadina Cres. You would walk along the South Saskatchewan River savouring the picturesque view preparing your mind for the music to enter your soul.
The comparison may be a lot for a lowly cupcake, but let’s go with it anyway.
With a gourmet cupcake, your taste buds should be eager for a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving more. JL Cake luxury cupcakes are designed to delight and surprise, featuring decadent combinations that push the boundaries of traditional baking.
Imagine sinking your teeth into our Ultimate Chocolate Caramel Cupcake where rich chocolate cake meets a luscious salted caramel filling, topped with a cloud of silky caramel buttercream.
