“I make cakes for a living, so I’m usually in a pretty good mood!” Darcy Scott says. Her exuberance and passion are easy to see. Darcy took over Whimsical Cake Studio in early 2014 after running a successful Kickstarter campaign and receiving a loan from Alberta Women Entrepreneurs. The studio is now a hub for delicious baked goods and culinary innovation.
Darcy is quick to mention some of her most challenging projects, including a life-sized replica of the Stanley Cup. She’s also proud of the brush with fame she experienced when Ashton Kutcher tweeted about her fully edible Star Wars Ewok village. But Whimsical Cake Studios doesn’t just do custom designs: they also feature an assortment of cupcakes, cookies and cake pops, not to mention one of Darcy’s own inventions – cake bombs. “They’re basically an inside-out cupcake dipped in chocolate,” she says.
