About
Lenore Johnson runs LenJo Bakes, a bespoke cake studio specializing in wedding cakes, custom printed cookies, macarons, and dessert tables for the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

They offer a unique cake tasting box from September to May (outside wedding season) with set seasonal flavours, priced at $44.50. You can also customize wedding favours like sugar cookies, macaron duos, or individually packaged brownies.
Beyond weddings, the retail shop at 132 Ahrens St West in Midtown Kitchener serves cinnamon rolls, French macarons, cheesecakes, focaccia pizza, and breakfast pies. Open Wed-Thu 8:30am-2pm, Fri 8:30am-5:30pm, Sat 8:30am-3pm. Lenore has also judged on Wall of Bakers and Top Chef US, and competed on Fox's Crime Scene Kitchen season 3.
