We cannot possibly say enough good things about Miranda at Country Girl Cakes. Our wedding cake was everything we wanted and more. Miranda was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, and was always so professional. The showstopper on our cake was the topper, we ask Miranda to create flowers and butterflies as we had a garden themed wedding. The topper was exquisite to say the very least, our guests could not get over that someone had handmade the flowers and butterflies. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding cake, that tastes delicious, and is made by an incredibly talented, kind and professional person, then you have to get in touch with Miranda.
Thank you for helping to make our big day so special!
Jenny and Mike O’Reilly

About Country Girl Cakes

Award-Winning Cake Decorator Miranda Kenney-Pellett has always had a passion for baking - whether it be making pies with her mom on a stool at the age of 6 covered in flour from head to toe, starting a Christmas baking business with her sister Stacy in their old childhood neighbourhood or decking out a Betty Crocker Cake with ridiculous loads of icing and sprinkles with her friends for birthdays. After receiving the 2008 Betty Crocker Calender from her mom for Christmas, Miranda started to become more interested in cake decorating after a few of the cakes from the calender turned out better than expected! After receiving so much positive response for her family reunion cake, Miranda decided to look into the Wilton Cake Courses at the local Michael's Arts and Crafts Store in Waterloo, Ontario.

After completing all of the courses and being told by her instructor that she had a natural talent, Miranda decided to look into more advanced classes - and from there, she hasn't looked back! Miranda has taken classes with a number of professional cake artists including: Food Network Challenge's Michelle Bommorito, TLC's Ultimate Cake-Off's Courtney Clark, Carrie Biggers, The Sweet Southern Ladies and Rick Reichart of Cake Lava in Hawaii, as well as Kaye Hartman from Petal Crafts in California.

Miranda has recently appeared on Slice TV's "Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition", where she competed against 2 other Canadian Cake Designers to create the dream cake for one lucky wedding couple and win $5000! Miranda's episode can be viewed on www.slice.ca under Cake Walk's second episode!

With the business growing so quickly, Miranda and her husband Luke recently bought a shop/store front in their hometown of Cardinal, Ontario!

Miranda graduated in 2009 from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, minoring in Sociology. Miranda believes that her background in Psychology will better enable her to interact with her clients and give them the best experience!

Not all flowers and greenery are safe to use on a cake. Fresh flowers should NEVER be inserted into your cake.
