Design Principles

Our designers specialize in a modern elegant design. We love achieving a whimsical, romantic look with balance to our designs.

Customizing Designs

You can customize our pre-designed cakes using the options available on each product page. That can mean selecting a colour, adding toppers or metal script, and so on.

Since we are regularly working on new designs and collections, the designs available on our website change periodically. Please browse our "Order Online" page to view all currently available designs. 

For fully custom orders, please contact us using the Inquire form. 

When to Order

If you are planning three days+ ahead, you can choose from our full design collection. We recommend ordering your cake as soon as you know the date that you need it for, as dates often book up quickly. 

Pickup and Delivery

You can select pickup or delivery during the checkout on our website. 

For pickup, we are located in York District, Toronto. The exact address will appear when you check out using the pickup method. We'll bring the cake out to your car and help situate the cake to make transport easy.

For delivery, the price varies depending on the distance from our studio plus tolls. We use a delivery partner who determines delivery rates based on distance (typically between $10-12). 

For specialized wedding/event delivery and setup completed by a member of our team, pricing is calculated at $0.75/km roundtrip from our location in York, Ontario.

  10. The client understands that any cake, cupcakes, and/or other desserts and confections placed outside for the event has the possibility of melting or changing form due to weather conditions (including but not limited to heat, wind, rain, and humidity) and that the vendor is not liable for the above mentioned products once it has been delivered or picked up.

  14. Devuyst Dessert Studio reserves the right to use their artistic license to make changes to the design at any point in the process in order to benefit the aesthetic of the finished product as deemed fit by our cake decorators, without the permission of the client. We understand that each client has a vision in mind, and as we do our best to bring that vision to life, changes will only be made if necessary for the best interest of your items.
  15. Devuyst Dessert Studio will make every effort to colour match within necessary design. Food-grade dyes may sometimes be difficult or impossible to match, and darker colours have the tendency to further darken with time, humidity, and heat. The client understands that colour matching may not be exact.
  16. Devuyst Dessert Studio reserves the right to have our own photographer take photos of the items and use these images for our own promotional marketing.
