For the Love of Cake

Last reviewed: July 30, 2026. Status: Closed. For the Love of Cake was a custom cake and cupcake bakery at 171 East Liberty Street, Unit 117, in Toronto’s Liberty Village. The storefront permanently closed on June 25, 2023 after approximately 12 years in business.

Important website warning: the former domain, fortheloveofcake.ca, is live again but no longer represents this bakery. It now publishes a generic “top cake shops” article and does not identify the former Liberty Village business, address, owner or telephone number. Canada Wedding Guide has removed it as the company’s official website. Do not use that domain to place an order intended for the former bakery.

Closure evidence

Daily Hive reported the closure on June 27, 2023 after the bakery posted a farewell notice at its storefront and on its own social account. The report states that the ovens were officially turned off on June 25, 2023. Although the farewell message mentioned a possible future return, no verified reopening, successor location or current ordering channel for this same business was found during the July 2026 review.

This profile is therefore marked Closed rather than Availability unconfirmed. A similarly named bakery or a reused domain should not be assumed to be the same company without matching ownership, address and contact details.

What the bakery previously offered

For the Love of Cake was known for custom celebration cakes and cupcakes for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and other milestones. Historical coverage identified owner Genevieve Finley and highlighted detailed fondant, gum-paste and sugar-lace work. These details describe the former operation only; they are not current services.

Prices and ordering

No current prices or ordering options exist for the closed Liberty Village bakery. Historical quotes, menus and review-site prices should not be treated as available offers. Couples planning a wedding cake should choose an operating bakery, confirm the tasting and design process, and obtain a current written quote.
