Birthday Cake Inspirations from San Marco Cakes in Montreal - Goth, Fashionista & Super Sweet!!!

We all go through this process of coming up with the most original party theme for our children, spouses, relatives and friends. Here at San Marco, we thrive on creating one-of-a-kind cakes for our special customers. Granted, a lot of you come with photos (sometimes scrapbooks!) of inspirations to help us guide us to the final masterpiece. And we are grateful to all those who make our life that much easier. But kid you not, we also enjoy creating our own works of art!! Here are some unique and edgy cakes we've had the privilege to design and make! Enjoy!!
