Review from Cody M.
Windham Centre, ON

If your looking for cupcakes that taste like a slice of heaven, this is the place. There's 2 kinds of cupcakes out there, sugar sweet fun ones for kids and luxe tasteing mouth-watering ones, this place offers the 2nd one, ones you would be thrilled to serve. The cupcakes here come in a variety of flavors and some that grown ups would like too (pink champagne). The cakes are like artwork more or less. I love to come in for the wedding cake sampler pack, which is 12 mini cupcakes for $8, with tax included! its a steal for what you get! Great location too, right downtown.

Review from V V.

Our tasting experience left much to be desired. Lynne didn't seem to care to listen to our requests, rather she prefers to use invitations, colour schemes from bridesmaid dresses, pictures of the gown etc. in order to make her cakes. Even though we specified that we had no interest in incorporating any of these elements, she was still very persistent since she claims she needs them to put together a cake. Her cake designs also seem to be rather repetitive for someone that uses all of her requested arbitrary elements for intricate details.
No samples were offered. We had to ask for her to provide us with them and most flavours of cakes were not available either. The samples that we did try all seemed to have excessively sweet frosting and dry cake.
We were also high balled on the price big time. We had already been to visit a couple other cake boutiques (bobette & belle and Cake Opera Co.) whom have had features in national bridal magazines and she was wishing to charge substantially more for nowhere near the end result We will definitely be making our decision between the other two now that we have failed to find a Hamilton business.
Overall, it just seemed like a very unprofessional experience. She does't listen to customer requests, she pushes for what she wants to do. There are much better cake places out there.

History
Established in 2005
Six years ago Lynne found her true love in Canada, which is now her home. During this period of re-organization in her life she rekindled some of her creative flair and began dabbling once again in salt dough sculpture and then sugar. With the compliments and encouragement from family and friends, she decided to practice to hone her skills.
When two close friends got married six years ago, Lynne immediately volunteered for the task of making the cake. She produced her first "important" cake. At this point she realized that she had no formal training in cake decorating and began night school to learn the foundation. After obtaining her certificates she created "Let Them Eat Cakes". The credit for this name and indeed the courage for this venture goes entirely to Ben, her love, her mentor, her friend, husband and business advisor.
In 2008 Lynne co-founded the Cake Spotters Guild, now known as the Canadian Cake Decorators Guild, designed for amateur and professional cake decorator
Meet the Business Owner: Lynne J.
Born in London, Lynne was raised in an artistic and creative environment. Having no television and little means of distraction, crafts and manual tasks were not unusual in her family, with artistic talents ranging from floral art to painting, music, needlework, photography and nail art.
By the age of 9, Lynne was well on her way to becoming interested in cooking and was developing her skills in her mother's kitchen. By 13 Lynne's Home Economics teacher was complaining "She's trying to teach me things!" by this time Lynne was already making cakes in her spare time and selling them and she'd long since learned to make Jello.
When she left school, Lynne did an apprenticeship at Grange Lodge Hotel in the Channel Islands (UK) under the supervision of chef Michael Owen. For a summer season she began a business called "Just Desserts" supplying cakes and truffles to restaurants and hotels on the island. She later toured South Africa with their premier watercolour artist Wallace Hulley,
