Why Our Desserts Cost What They Do (and Why They're Worth It)

Aug. 08/25 Blog

At Jenna Rae Cakes, every treat we make is handcrafted with care, creativity, and most importantly— quality. From our signature macarons and cupcakes, to our custom cakes and seasonal creations, we believe that using the best ingredients makes all the difference.

Premium ingredients cost more, and yes, that impacts the price of our products. But we’ve always believed that when it comes to flavour and experience, quality is worth it.

Just take vanilla bean paste, for example. A single bottle of the high-quality vanilla bean paste we use in our baking costs $250. Really. We even had our team guess the price in this Instagram reel and their reactions say it all (😳)! But that’s the cost of using the best— and it’s something we’ve always been committed to.

We also take pride in supporting local suppliers whenever we can. From ordering butter from Notre Dame Creamery and cream cheese from Chaeban, to visiting local farmers markets like St.Leons for seasonal strawberries, and supporting DeLuca's with premium chocolate, vanilla bean paste, and more, we choose every ingredient with intention. There are cheaper options out there, but we’ll never compromise on quality or flavour just to cut costs. It’s not who we are.

We know we’re not the most inexpensive bakery out there, but it's because our pricing reflects more than just ingredients. It reflects the time, talent, and heart our small but mighty team puts into everything we do. Each cake is designed with care. Each macaron is hand-filled. Each item is crafted to be as beautiful as it is delicious and each one takes time to perfect so it's the best it can be for you to enjoy. 

When you choose Jenna Rae Cakes, you’re not just buying a dessert. You’re investing in a treat that was made to feel like you're making your moments and celebrations sweet— something special, thoughtful, and unforgettable.

Thanks for supporting local, choosing quality, and treating yourself to something made with passion and quality. We know you can taste the love in every bite.
