Former baker in Toronto starts up side hustle selling fake cake sculptures that look super real Toronto SideHustle
Her creations come with thick piping, loads of ruffles, flower details, lustrous cherries and citrous segments, and cheeky sayings piped on top. None of it is edible, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look great on your table at home.and has been taking some time off from working to pursue that. However, she is also planning on going back to her full-time job as a barista and cafe manager in the new year, in addition to continuing with Vintage Bakesale.
"I stopped mostly because of the hours. It's a lot of super early mornings. Also, I don't have a sweet tooth at all. I really was into it for the art of dessert presentation and styling so I guess it makes sense why I make things now that you can't even eat." Ferguson started making fake cakes over the past summer and never intended for the project to turn into a full-on business, but when she posted photos and videos on her Instagram, she started getting custom requests right away. The cakes are made using wall spackle and acrylic paint."The process is pretty much identical to decorating a real cake," says Ferguson.
Ferguson had made edible cakes previously, and sometimes gets requests for real ones, but has to explain everything she's selling right now is fake. "Never say never, but I can't see myself going back to working in a bakery or pastry kitchen," says Ferguson. "I'm having a lot of fun with what I'm doing now."
