On Sunday, September 12, the Toronto International Film Festival is celebrating its 35th birthday and the public opening of its new home, TIFF Bell Lightbox, with a free block party from John to Peter on King Street, and Kyla Eaglesham of Madeleines, Cherry Pie and Ice Cream (1087 Bathurst at Dupont) has been busy, with the help of Genna Steckel and Joey O'Neil, baking 3,000 cupcakes for the party guests.
Meanwhile, as you can see in the picture above, she's also constructing an edible model of TIFF Bell Lightbox; Kyla will be topping her fondant construction with a condo made of cake and, of course, adding a red carpet. All this baking will be part of a celebration running from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday that includes music acts like The Sadies and 100 Monkeys, screenings of films, a Wizard of Oz-themed play area for kids, and a promised music celeb performance at 3 (I'm guessing Nellie Furtado, but only because I know she's in town; I have no insider info on that one.)
TIFF Bell Lightbox, designed by KPMB, will give Toronto a permanent film centre (how have we not had one up to this point?) It occupies a piece of land that was donated for the purpose by filmmaker Ivan Reitman and his family. But back to the baking... in the picture above, Genna Steckel arranges trays of Kyla's delicious chocolate cupcakes. They'll be iced with orange buttercream for the party. And if you've ever tasted Kyla's buttercream, you know it's the real deal.
Below, Kyla's brother, Dustin Kennaley, helps box the cooled cakes. Because when you're up to your ears in cupcakes, you call your brother, right?
If you're at the event on Sunday, you can sample one of the cupcakes, possibly from Kyla's own hand, as she'll have her own tables to dole out the goodies.
