I Am A Cake

What is I Am A Cake? Occupying a cheerful, butter-yellow storefront at 67 Shuter Street just east of Church, I Am A Cake is the downtown expansion from pastry chef Amy Seo following her beloved Markham flagship. Unlike the takeout-only original, this downtown cafe features a charming dine-in room decorated with quirky collectibles, pastel finishes, and cozy table seating. The bakery specializes in Korean dessert artistry, anchored by airy textures and restrained sweetness levels.

I Am A Cake Menu & What to Order The counter display is anchored by pillowy cream madeleines in flavours like herbal mugwort, bergamot-laced Earl Grey, and silky vanilla custard. Slices of the nutty chestnut cheesecake and the towering Victoria cake—layered with tart raspberry preserve and whipped cream—are must-orders for serious pastry fans. Pair a savoury-sweet red bean butter scone or a chewy pistachio Dubai chocolate cookie with an iced mango matcha cream latte for a balanced afternoon treat.

Know Before You Go Tables operate on a walk-in basis with no reservations, so expect small lineups during peak weekend afternoons when signature madeleine flavours sell out fast. The cafe is situated a brief five-minute stroll east of Queen subway station, which avoids the headache of congested downtown street parking. Doors open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., with the kitchen closed on Mondays.
