High Rise Bakery

I'm coming back to town (Toronto) and finally taking some orders! Ordering is available through the contact form on my website.

I know it's been a while since I've posted on here. I've been spending the last few months travelling, writing, and focusing on my academic work, but now I'm so happy to be baking again! I spent a month and a half in Germany studying Urdu, brushing up on my German, visiting family, and of course eating cake 🎂

Here I tried out a nrw almond orange blossom cake inspired by a Moroccan recipe. Made without gluten, simple and delicious!

I will be taking limited orders in Toronto starting October 20th up until mid-December, so if you want to order a cake just fill out the contact form on my website! I will also have availability in Calgary for the Christmas season. On top of that, I'm doing my scone-making workshops, also available for sign-up on my website.

Baking and tea-tasting workshops now available!

Many people ask me why I chose the name High Rise Bakery - and since I'm a classic nerd of course it was a 3-way pun:
▪︎ The bakery started on the top floor of a "high-rise" apartment building
▪︎ Cakes "rise" in the oven
▪︎ The "high-rising" hot air balloon from "Around the World in 80 days" shows the international variety of desserts on offer

Now that I've moved to Toronto the hot air balloon has taken on a whole new meaning - after working in Edmonton, Calgary, and now Toronto, it's starting to feel like a travelling bakery 🌍

Please join me on my journey, tasting sweets inspired by traditions from around the world.

I will be hosting tea-tasting and scone-making workshops so you too can discover international flavours and how to bring them to your table! Information available on my website highrisebakery.ca

Time for new beginnings in Toronto!

Spring has finally come to Alberta, the grass starting to turn green and the trees finally getting their buds. Spring always brings with it new beginnings, and for me that will be a fresh start in Toronto. I'm sad to leave my friends and family here, but I hope to keep making delicious cakes and lovely new connections in Ontario!

This was a special request for the Nannerl cake (inspired by the famous chocolate Sacher torte) with an alternate design. I don't do a lot of custom designs, but I love anything on the woodland theme! Marzipan eggs sit in a nest of chocolate ganache and swiss meringue buttercream on top of a fudgy almond flour chocolate cake.

What new beginnings are coming your way?
