The city's best loot By Jennifer Cranston
Linda Mortganstein’s custom cakes are astonishing. One wedding cake featured four colourful stacked shoeboxes topped
by a groom’s brogue and a bride’s slipper, all completely edible, right down to the shoelaces. For a couple who met in New York, she made a three-and-a-half-foot-tall white chocolate replica of the Chrysler Building. For another, three life-sized chocolate suitcases had edible gold-leaf buckles and hinges. Other commissions have included a six-by-four-foot Air Canada Centre replica; a 40-pound chocolate bus tire; yellow construction cranes digging chocolate mud; and a full-size violin with sugar strings. Kosher treats are available, including intricately detailed replica bar and bat mitzvah scrolls. At Christmas, chocolate boxes ($45–$80), filled with white chocolate almond bark, can be custom decorated with corporate logos.
