Fancy That Cake is a confirmed Centre Wellington cake studio specializing in custom wedding commissions. Couples researching wedding cakes Fergus Ontario can use this profile to assess its design approach, service area, published starting price, tasting process and important dietary limitations before making an inquiry.

The current official website identifies Kellie Barclay as the owner, founder and cake designer. It describes a wedding-focused studio serving Fergus, Elora, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph and destinations farther afield. Last reviewed: August 3, 2026.

Services and specialization

Fancy That Cake creates bespoke wedding cakes rather than selecting designs from a fixed catalogue. The published process begins with information about the wedding, after which the designer prepares cake sketches and corresponding prices. Smooth buttercream and fondant finishes are available, while documented decorative options include handcrafted sugar flowers, textured buttercream, gold leaf, ruffles and stencilled patterns.

Sugar flowers are identified as Kellie’s signature specialization. Wedding add-ons described on the services page include macaron towers, monogrammed cookie favours and gourmet deep-dish cookies. The gallery also shows cupcakes, decorated cookies and macarons. These are presented as additions to wedding orders; the FAQ says the studio is not currently accepting non-wedding celebration cakes.

Service area and who it may suit

The studio is based in Centre Wellington. Its website names Fergus, Elora, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, Cambridge, Hamilton/Burlington and Toronto among the places served; the about page also mentions Orangeville and the GTA. “And beyond” appears in the service description, but couples outside the named areas should confirm whether delivery is practical and what mileage charge would apply.

The service may suit couples looking for an individually sketched, tiered wedding cake, particularly those interested in detailed sugar-flower work or coordinated wedding treats. The contact page says the smallest stand-alone wedding cake is a three-tier design serving approximately 56 guests, so couples planning a smaller reception should ask whether an appropriate configuration is available.

How the commission process works

Couples begin through the website’s inquiry form. The designer then sends a detailed questionnaire and invites reference photographs or a mood board. Cake sketches and prices follow once the event and design information has been reviewed. The published process also includes a tasting box, contract, booking retainer, final confirmation and venue delivery.

Planning guidance is not completely consistent across the site: the FAQ suggests reserving 8–10 months ahead, while the services page recommends beginning 10–12 months in advance. Both indicate that availability is limited. Five weeks before the wedding, the studio says it confirms final details and delivery arrangements; the outstanding balance is due two weeks before the event.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include a sketch-led custom design process, published starting prices, tasting boxes, delivery and setup, and a defined signature in handcrafted sugar flowers. The menu also provides detailed flavour and allergen information before couples inquire. These are confirmed service features rather than endorsements.

The most important limitation concerns dietary accommodation. Every listed cake contains dairy, gluten and eggs, and production takes place where nuts are present. The studio says it cannot guarantee the absence of traces and does not offer gluten-free, egg-free or dairy-free cakes. Tasting boxes are offered only on set dates and are unavailable during the busy wedding season. The website also does not publish a street address or telephone number, so those contact fields remain blank.

Pricing

The official website publishes a $500 starting price for wedding-cake commissions. A $40 tasting box contains a preset selection of five popular flavours and is offered on designated dates. Booking requires a non-refundable retainer equal to 50% of the order, with the final balance due two weeks before the wedding. Delivery fees depend on venue location and are calculated using standard mileage rates.

Couples should treat the starting figure as a floor rather than a package price. Design complexity, handcrafted decorative elements, serving requirements and delivery affect the quote. Published examples vary between pages: the contact page describes an approximately 56-serving three-tier cake averaging about $800 after decoration, while the FAQ gives about $900 for a 70-serving three-tier cake and the services page gives about $900 for a 78-serving four-tier design. Request a current written quote for the exact cake, taxes, delivery and setup requirements.

Contact and booking

The official booking route is the inquiry form at https://www.fancythatcake.ca/contact. Couples should be ready to provide their date, venue, guest or serving estimate and initial design ideas. The website lists kellie@fancythatcake.ca for other inquiries.

A telephone number and complete public studio address are not provided on the current official domain. Do not rely on older directory contact details without confirming them through the official form or email. Because the gallery says only a limited number of weekend bookings are accepted, date availability should be established before treating a proposal as reserved.

What couples should confirm

Before paying the retainer, obtain a written proposal that resolves the practical details of the commission.

Confirm the current price against the final serving count and approved sketch, since the website’s example sizes and averages vary. Couples should also discuss venue access and setup timing directly with the cake designer and reception venue.
