Golden Girlz in person
Janice and Alicia Marie make up the mother-daughter team that run Golden Girlz/I Candi Designz. Janice (Alicia Marie's Mother) and Alicia Marie say they're certified by Wilton as Cake Decorators with specialization in Sugar Artistry of Floral Design Sprays. Even though they've been doing cakes for several years longer, as 'Golden Girlz' they’ve been in business (officially) for the past five years, which is when a hobby and love for sugar artistry became a pursuit of happiness for Janice and Alicia Marie. "When you love what you do, it doesn't seem like work. It is more of a constant smile."

Having turned cake design into a family affair, Janice and Alicia Marie look at themselves as creative minds who have teamed up to create designer, fashion-style wedding cakes - and cake pops, edible favours, cupcakes, gluten and nut-free cakes, and more - for Toronto brides. Their daily vision is to offer unique designs, impeccably fresh creations, immaculate cake delivery (and set-up), and artistic invention. At I Candi Designz, it seems like nothing could ever become 'old hat' because there's always a new design, concept or idea in the mix. Alicia Marie and Janice know that brides want something unique, which will define their own style and taste. "Brides want a chance to play a part in the design process and a beautiful presentation on their wedding day. On that note, we always keep up with the cutting edge trends in Cake Design, from the runway to cake couture….” They believe that your cake should look great in photos. Equally important, they should taste as good as they look! Because there are so many individual aspects to the ultimate wedding cake, both mom and daughter have split up the job when it comes to production.

Janice specializes in custom sugar flowers. She handcrafts, paints, dusts, shimmers and arranges each sweet piece on the wedding cakes that go out the Golden Girlz/I Candi Designz doors. While a number of sugar design elements are possible, flowers (such as hydrangeas or orchids) are probably the hottest request. As she painstakingly works away at the little edible pieces of art, Janice's goal is to bring the beauty of the outdoors into each slice served at your wedding reception. Janice says, "It is all about those tiny details, the stamen, the blended hues and the perfect petal."

Alicia Marie specializes in sculpturing any design, idea or inspiration into what she calls "3D edible form." From custom cake toppers to characters sculpted from sugar, creative scrollwork and jewels to embossed patterns, the options aren't just artistic, they're nearly limitless.
