Area woman to take part in wedding cake TV show

This September Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition, a new one-hour cake competition series and the first of its kind to be produced in Canada featuring Canadian, is set to air on Slice TV.

Hosted by Canadian comedian Caroline Rhea, each episode features three different Canadian cake designers who race against the clock to create one couple’s dream wedding cake. The winning designer takes home a prize of $5,000.

Kellie Barclay, of Fancy That Cake, who lives in Fergus, will be one of the contestants. 

She went to Klara Johnson’s School of Confection and Pastry Art and then the Icing Inspirations School in Kitchener.

Barclay is also a member of the Canadian Society of Sugar Artistry. For more information about her business, visit www.fancythatcake.ca. 

Barclay’s episode will air on Nov. 2 at 9pm. The series premieres on Sept. 7.

The series is judged by three culinary experts:

– Gordon Bailey, chef and owner of Lot 30 in Prince Edward Island (he is a biker chef who customizes motorcycles);

– Alexandria Pellegrino, wedding cake designer and owner of Cake Opera Co. in Toronto. She recently designed Nicole Ritchie’s wedding cake; and

– David MacCarfrae, cake designer and owner of David Cakes of Distinction in Liverpool, with an impressive list of royal clients. He designed the wedding cake for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
