Hey there! I'm Alexandria.

I started Finespun Cakes as a luxury cake business back in 2015, renting out odd catering kitchens and making sugar flowers at my kitchen counter.

Since then, I've opened a studio in Toronto, had over 600 students go through my online courses, and grown my social media platforms to well over 200k fellow cake makers and appreciators.

So, why did I decide to start Finespun Cakes Academy?

When I just started out I had no idea where to begin. Google searches, books, and trial and error left me confused and spending too much time figuring things out on my own.

All I wanted was someone to answer my questions and give me guidance, a mentor to help me through those lonely first months and years.

So that's what I'm building. A place for cake artists and decorators to ask the silly questions to professionals who have first hand knowledge of what works and what doesn't.

And a place where you can come meet other creators who are at a similar level to you and have passion, love for the craft and want to push themselves to achieve more.

Whether you make cakes and sugar flowers as a hobby or business, it can feel like a very lonely place.

I hope that you join us in the Finespun Cakes Academy to grow not only your skills through our extensive course library, but meet and share your experiences with other cake artists around the world.

I can't wait to meet you!

TESTIMONIALS
Here's what our students have to say

I LOVE your tutorials! From the color wheel, which I'm learning and your detailed instructions. The tiniest of details come to life when you dust them. And they look SO REAL!
My 2 favorite things? Gooseberry green (which I still haven't been able to find, but, I can get close thanks to the color wheel) and the veiner! How did I live without it! Haha.
I'm VERY new to this. But, I love it.

My daughter asked if I would make their wedding cake. I was thrilled - then panic set in - because I’m just not that good!
I tried them out on my other daughter's birthday cake. They loved them. I watched over and again and fell in love with my new friend “the veining tool”. Petals got thinner - flowers became more and more realistic. (To me anyway!) I am a total amateur but your course helped me produce flowers I could be proud of - thank you.

I loved this course! I made amazing peonies and flowers from the 5 day challenge on my first try. The Alexandria and others are always available for help. The course was full of content, clear and well put together. I would recommend it to anyone looking to take their decorating skills to the next level. It is not just spending money on a class it will be investing in your future and business.
