A story of family, memory and passion

It all starts with my grandmother, the matriarch, the heart of our family. It was in her kitchen, watching her precise gestures and her love of Haitian traditions, that I learned to respect ingredients, to love the aromas that filled the house… and to always cook from the heart.

And then there is my uncle Peter. The one who always had a joke, a smile… and a sweet tooth. At a family dinner just before the pandemic, he poured his homemade crémasse over a slice of rum cake. The moment was simple… but magical. That little gesture became the starting point of our iconic classic: the Rhum Crémasse cake.

I’m Jessyca Labissière, founder of CakeDouce. My passion for baking started young. At 18, pregnant with my first child, I was testing recipes I found online in my little kitchen. That is where the nickname I have proudly carried was born: Mom Douce.

I landed my first baking job at Loblaws, where I learned to decorate cakes, work under pressure and master the basics of the trade. Then life took me elsewhere: a server at a golf course, a demanding job where I developed a keen sense of customer service and listening.

In 2017-2018, I slowly got back into it with custom cakes. Then came December 2019, a defining moment. I hosted my family and, as always, rum and crémasse were on the table. That evening, my uncle Peter made that famous gesture… and everything changed.

Since then, the Rhum Crémasse cake has become a signature in Montréal-Est. A perfected recipe, with its one-of-a-kind molten centre, moist texture and that unmistakable taste of Caribbean family celebrations.

CakeDouce embodies this blend of tradition and modernity, heritage and innovation. Today, I am proud to offer handcrafted cakes, made with care in my own shop, always with the same love as on day one.
