Nestled along the bustling streets of Longbranch, Etobicoke, there's a sweet haven born from a family's passion for baking and an Italian legacy that dates back decades.
In 2008, the aromatic symphony of freshly baked goods echoed through the doors of Bona Via Bakery, a humble family establishment founded by Nicola, a maestro in the art of pastries. His mastery not only created delectable confections but also ignited a legacy, passing down his secrets and love for baking to his three talented daughters.
Among them, Monja Chiara, ignited her own confectionary journey in 2010 by unveiling Cakestar, a place where flour, sugar, and dreams danced harmoniously. The sweet aroma of freshly baked delights beckoned both Torontonians and locals alike, transforming Cakestar into a cherished gem along the Lakeshore.
Celebrations and accolades adorned Cakestar's path, earning not just one but two Gem of the Lakeshore awards and the esteemed title of Best Bakery in the Reader's Choice awards. Numerous magazine features and newspaper highlights added to its illustrious tale, painting Cakestar as a beacon of culinary excellence.
​
Monja and her talented team became maestros of their own, stepping into the spotlight with appearances on acclaimed TV shows like 'Best Cake Wins' and the Food Network's 'The Big Bake.' Their artistry even graced the screens of YouTube shows and movies, including the delectable creations for 'Man from Toronto.'
For over 13 years, Cakestar has become synonymous with mastery, welcoming every cake request with open arms and creativity that knows no bounds.
