Our Why

The Heart Behind SWIRL Custom Cakes & Desserts

Led by our Founder Lynnette Bourelle, we are a team of pastry and administrative professionals united by our passion, creativity, and a deep desire to bring joy to people’s lives through our art. Here’s why we do what we do:

We believe that life’s milestones—birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and other celebrations—deserve to be commemorated in a way that’s truly memorable. A beautifully designed cake or a table of stunning desserts has the power to bring people together, create lasting memories, and add a touch of magic to any occasion. Knowing that our creations play a role in making someone’s day extra special fuels our passion for what we do.

Baking and cake design are our outlets for creativity. We see every cake as a blank canvas, an opportunity to tell a story, express emotion, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of pastry arts. Whether it’s crafting a gravity-defying cake, a whimsical birthday design, or an elegant wedding centerpiece, we find immense satisfaction in turning ideas into edible works of art.

We are inspired by the timeless recipes and techniques passed down through generations, including those from our founder Lynnette MacDonald’s family. At the same time, we are driven by the excitement of innovation—experimenting with new flavors, designs, and concepts that keep our offerings fresh and exciting. This balance between tradition and innovation is at the core of everything we create.

We are deeply connected to the Calgary community and beyond. By providing exceptional desserts, supporting local charities, and offering opportunities for young pastry chefs, we aim to make a positive impact on those around us. Our work is not just about baking; it’s about building relationships, supporting dreams, and being a part of the moments that matter in our clients’ lives.

We are perfectionists at heart. Our commitment to quality drives us to use only the best ingredients, refine our techniques, and never settle for anything less than the best. This pursuit of excellence isn’t just about creating a beautiful product; it’s about earning the trust and satisfaction of every client we serve.

Baking isn’t just a job for us—it’s a calling. We are passionate about the craft, the process, and the joy it brings to others. Sharing this passion through our creations, teaching others, and continuing to learn and grow in our field is what keeps us motivated every day.
