J’adore Cakes Co

Worst place ever! I placed an order for special cupcakes for my boyfriend’s birthday. I wrote all the information down in my email to the owner. Everything was good to go. I went to pick up my cupcakes the day of his birthday event, and to my surprise, the name on the cupcakes were wrong. They wrote RANDY instead of RICKY. And to fix this. they took paper and wrote his name in chocolate. They clearly didnt read my email or care for my order bcuz it wasnt big enough to bring in enough of a dollar figure. They didnt even apologize for the mistake and gave me a 10 percent discount for the paper they put on my cupcakes. The didn’t even have dividers for the cupcakes and glued the bottoms to the box with chocolate so when I drove home, the cupcakes were completely mangled. What a disaster. I hate the people who run it because they took no responsibility and they didnt even care and it was a lot of money for mangled cupcakes with paper on top. Never ever again!

I would like to share that I am disappointed with j’adore bakery — specifically their lack of professionalism and respect for their customers.
I had bought a dealicious coupon for j’adore for $ 30 worth of baked goods from their store. On the dealicious voucher it specifically said to contact them 1 week in advance to place an order. Doing so, I emailed j’adore 1 week exactly before I was going to pick-​up my order. I waited for a reply back, but didn’t receive any email. I had assumed they received my email order as I did not get a bounce back error. My order was for 20 macaroons, which I was planning on taking to my brother’s wedding rehearsal. I got busy during the week and didn’t call j’adore to confirm my order (this is where I went wrong). When I arrived at j’adore, exactly a week after I had placed my order, I saw that they only had 3 macaroons left and a bunch of cupcakes. I told the girl working there that I had placed an order for 20 macaroons. I showed her the dealicious voucher and she said «oh, we don’t allow you to place your order, you can only walk in to pick up your food.» I asked her why it didn’t state that on the voucher — which she had no answer for me. I asked her why no one replied to my email, she said that they were really busy with wedding season. But later on in the conversation said that they don’t get many emails. So then i asked her why i didn’t get a reply to my email if they didn’t get a lot of emails. She then got confused with my questioning and made another excuse. At that point, I just wanted to get «whatever» I could for the voucher.
I am disappointed that I didn’t get an email response from j’adore. As a business, they should be replying to customer emails at least within 72 hours. They are no busier than the average bakery, so I don’t understand how they can be «too busy to respond to my email» when it was stated to me that they don’t get «that many emails.» It is a reality now that many people prefer email over phone and choose to use this method as a means of communication. Why bother having an email contact on your website if you CANNOT RESPOND to CUSTOMER EMAILS???
I am also disappointed that the girl never once apologized for the change that they made to the voucher after it was bought. I feel I wasn’t respected because I was a «dealicious voucher» customer, which is maddening to me because I have bought many items from that bakery before this day.
I will no longer be supporting a business that doesn’t respect its customers. I will share this story with my friends, family and co-​workers.

Putting the cake boss to shame, always a hit never a miss. I have been going there since she opened, first I had her cupcakes then I asked to make me a cake for what she named it the ”Ken special”’ lol, The ”Ken special” is a dense coconut cake filled with decadent icing and surrounded with shredded toasted coconut.
The owner and her mom are super friendly and helpful, prices are very reasonable. Make sure you call well advanced before the wedding season to have a cake made, she gets extremely busy around that time of year, and don’t forget to try the donuts.

This place is a diamond in the rough — the rough being an industrial-​heavy strip on the Danforth. Maybe macarons, croissants and cupcakes are just what heavy-​duty-​labour employees need to pent off some of their stress? Whatever drew the owners to open up shop here, I’m glad they did.
This place is take-​out only as there is no seating. My sister claims that they make the best cupcakes in town (having tried cupcakes from For the Love of Cake, Bobbette and Belle, The Wedding Cake Shoppe, and the Design Cookie Boutique). I’ve tried all those and more and I must admit that their cake base is one of the moister ones I’ve had. My preference is for moist and airy cupcakes as opposed to the dense ones. The frosting is not too heavy nor too greasy and the cupcakes are a decent size. I also got a dozen of macarons to go just because I can never say no to macarons. While the texture is spot on, I found their macaron offerings to be a tad bit on the overly sweet side, but definitely a steal at $ 2.
I also tried some of their coffee — I think they should stick to pastries. It was pretty awful.

I have visited the shop two times as I purchased several of their RDeals coupons. The coupon clearly states that if ordering more than a dozen cupcakes to call ahead at least 24 hours. I did, and was told by the owner «no need to order, just walk in and choose from what we have» even though I told her I have several RDeals coupons. I went in on a Saturday but the selection of cupcakes was poor. They did have several types of macaroons and they were very good. I took a dozen macaroons and a dozen cupcakes, they only had red velvet and chocolate chip left. The cupcakes weren’t too sweet and I liked the frosting, however I was disappointed by the small selection. Second time I went, they were running low on macaroons and didn’t even have a dozen cupcakes left, 4 hours prior to closing time. In fact only 8 cupcakes were left as the person who was in line ahead of me had called ahead that morning and put aside 2 dozen cupcakes. Apparently you can’t order ahead but you can call the day of and have them put the cupcakes aside for you. Today, I decided to do that. I called ahead and asked for a dozen cupcakes, of any flavour, to be put aside. I was told «no, we don’t ever do that». When I explained that 3 weeks ago that is what I was told when I was in the store and only got 8 cupcakes, the person who had answered the phone again said «no, we never do that, there is only 2 of us working and we just don’t do that. We only made 1.5 dozen for today, so obviously I can’t put any aside for you». I told her I was told by the owner’s mother last time I was in to just call the day of. She then put me on hold for several minutes, and then I heard someone release the hold button and hang up the phone. I was very disappointed by the service I received. I also find it very hard to believe that only 1.5 dozen cupcakes were made for a Saturday. Out of the 8 cupcakes I got last time, 3 of them had to be taken out of the back by the lovely lady who was working in the shop so that we don’t go home without any cupcakes when we drove in from Mississauga. Once we got home, those 3 cupcakes were still frozen. I was very confused by this since they are supposed to be baked fresh.

Had some cupcakes from here with my kids. Soooooo yummy. I usually don’t like sweets, but these were just right… not too sugary, just flavorful.

Totally drove by this little shop without noticing it ever. I first heard of J’adore Cakes when a group on came out or a wag jag deal, I only took note because this bakery they were promoting was in my area, the owner is a graduate of the prestigious and esteemed school, le cordon bleu.
sadly i never bought the deal voucher, but always wondered where and what the place was about until finally my sister who is also a baker and I stopped in.
I’m so pleased with this petit bakery! as the other poster said, you’d never expect this place to be plopped down in between automotive parts stores, and for rent signs. it’s windows have a lacey dressing, with pretty wallpaper and welcoming colors.
The treats are exquisite, dynamic and flavour-​full! I am actually working on counting calories, but my gawd, I am a sucker for french macaroons! They were so worth the extra calories. The shop person is helpful and not frou-​frou, the prices are reasonable and it’s just a real treat to have this near my community.

Situated in the most unassuming area of Danforth East, among a throng of auto parts and industrial outfits is this adorably sweet little patisserie called J’adore Cakes Co.
The interior is small and strictly retail so there is no seating, but the spread of mock-​up wedding cakes and cupcake bouquets (yes I said cupcake bouquets!) is enough to make one giddy with sugary delight.
The macarons from J’adore have the smoothest shells that I’ve come across and are crackly in texture with a nice soft centre. I ordered an orgy of technicolor macarons for $ 2 each as the amiable counter person helps me navigate the bevvy of flavours. Some macarons were overtly sweet in taste but the cream of the crop was their signature Neopolitan macaron which features a bi-​colored shell of chocolate and vanilla sandwiching a luxuriantly decadent filling of strawberry buttercream… magnifique! It’s worth noting that ordering a dozen macarons will score you a bonus macaron, oui bien sur, bring on the extra macarons!
J’Adore also boasts a selection of well priced patisseries as in the past I’ve been known foolishly to pay up to $ 15 for some really good petits gateux. The Lemon Almond tart is $ 3.50 and the divinely hazelnut café flavoured and well portioned «Opera» cake is a mere $ 2.75! Inconcievable!!!
So if you’re wanting to channel your inner Marie Antoinette but live near the hood of Scarborough/​East York border, come to J’adore for a little taste of Paris. 3.75
