Bonnie Gordon
I get asked all the time about what school I will be attending in a few weeks, so I thought I would share some info on Bonnie Gordon and her school.
Bonnie Gordon is a cutting-edge designer who is setting a new standard in Canada for wedding cake style and design. Her cakes are edible sculptures, each an original and delicious work of art. From the time she showcased her first cake at “Toronto Taste”, a major fundraising event, Gordon’s cakes have wowed. Whimsical, captivating and meticulously designed, her cakes demand attention because of their beauty and uniqueness. They are centerpieces in every sense of the word.
Bonnie has a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts but after the birth of her second child, Bonnie realized it was time for a career change and she began taking chef’s classes. She soon switched her focus from savoury to sweet when she realized the incredible potential for the creation of art using cake-decorating materials. Her passion for her newfound career led her to classes at the Culinary Institute of America and Edwald Notter’s School of Confectionary Art.
Th Bonnie Gordon School currently offers a wide range of classes in the edible arts created for hobbyists, aspiring cake designers as well as professionals who wish to upgrade their design and technical skills. For those whose wish to pursue a career in the edible arts they offer professional level classes.
I took part of her bio from her website, if you want to know more about the wonderful things going on at the school please check out her website www.bonniegordoncakes.com. or the bonnie gordon school on facebook.

the start of my sweet adventure!
I have always had a passion for baking since I can remember. My first cakes were made with my faithful easy bake oven some 20 years ago! Those memories truly shaped my endless passion for baking delicious and beautiful cakes.
I am a foodie hunter always in search of the most delicious cakes or desserts. When I have tasted one, my adventure truly begins! I am on the hunt for the perfect recipe to duplicate it. My sweet adventure has lead me to purchase numerous baking books, endless searching online for recipes and of coarse trying all these recipes. And what a great and satisfying adventure it has been for me and my husband so far!
I had been thinking about doing a culinary course for such a long time, it took me months to find the perfect school and course. Thanks to my husband who read an article on Bonnie Gordon and all the great things that were going on at her school. I did my research and knew in my heart that here is where I wanted to go. I will be starting my journey in the professional cake world July 5, 2010 to August 13, 2010.
Follow me as I take my sweet adventure!
