In this country, you gotta get the woman first.


During urbanforest’s inaugural photoshoot at ThimbleCakes back in January, Wendy and Ali showed us the joys of a romantic date and classic chivalry. With the signature red velvet cupcake, they indulged and demonstrated the innocence and excitement of a quaint rendezvous. Chivalry will always be appreciated and reciprocated properly, so fellas, don’t hold back! Young Janes provided sustainable fashion for the shoot, and Ef Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Malorie Bertrand, styled the shoot. Zena Saab, our house make-up artist, made everyone look great for the cameras, and house photographer, Gilbert Kimani, was behind the camera. 

For your next special occasion or intimate date, please bring yourself to ThimbleCakes and take in the deliciousness of local, organic desserts! Your loved one will be impressed with your desire to feed them with wholesome sweets and support Ottawa’s local business community.

Welcome to urbanforest’s blog!
Thimble Cakes is an organic cupcake bakery located at 369 Bank St. in Ottawa, Canada, and kindly hosted our first photoshoot. Present were local poet and radio host, Ali Alikhani, and Thimble Cakes owner, Wendy vanVelthoven as our models. Zena Saab from Beauty by Zena did a wonderful job on make-up for the models, and Malorie Bertrand, Editor-in-Chief for Ef Magazine, styled Ali and Wendy in sustainable fashion from Young Janes. Our house photographer, Gilbert Kimani, has another ongoing project called UGHtraction. The red velvet cupcake shown above, one of Thimble Cakes’ signature selections, was the main cupcake of choice in urbanforest’s first photoshoot. Super delicious!!
Thank you to everyone involved and stay tuned for ‘urbanforest @ Ef’ ~ released on the last day of every month. The photo gallery will feature everyday people from the Ottawa community dressed in sustainable fashion living and doing business in a sustainable/local/organic way.
Looking forward to demonstrating to you sustainable lifestyle and business best practices in Ottawa!
Peace, love & light ~ Ky
