This festive set of cookies was created to celebrate two beautiful traditions coming together: Christmas and Yalda Night. At Afsheed Cakes in Calgary, we love honoring culture, creativity, and craftsmanship, and these custom handmade royal icing cookies perfectly reflect that spirit.
This collection features assorted gourmet sugar cookies, each carefully baked and decorated with smooth royal icing. The designs include classic winter favorites such as Christmas trees and snowmen, alongside vibrant red Yalda pomegranates adorned with elegant Persian calligraphy. Every cookie was decorated by hand, with attention to detail, balance, and symbolism — turning each piece into a small, edible work of art.
What makes this set even more special is that these cookies were baked and decorated during our Christmas Cookies Class, alongside our wonderful students. As the instructor, I was proud to cover a wide range of baking and decorating techniques — from royal icing consistency and piping control to color balance and design planning — all while keeping the class relaxed, creative, and fun. Watching students gain confidence and enjoy the process is one of my favorite parts of teaching.
While Afsheed Cakes is well known in Calgary for custom birthday cakes, music themed cakes, and even heavy metal themed and hard rock themed cake designs, our passion for detail extends far beyond cakes. These cookies reflect the same artistry and care we bring to every custom birthday cake Calgary families trust — just in a smaller, festive form.
Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Yalda, or both, custom cookies are a beautiful way to share joy, tradition, and flavor. At Afsheed Cakes Calgary, everything we create, from bold cake designs to delicate cookies, is handmade with heart, skill, and purpose.

There’s something truly heartwarming about the smell of freshly baked donuts filling the kitchen on a weekday afternoon. This week, my kids and I decided to turn our midweek slump into a sweet little celebration — and what better way than making a batch of homemade donuts together? 🍩
We mixed, rolled, and fried each donut with love, turning our kitchen into a cozy cloud of sugar, laughter, and warm dough. These donuts are light, fluffy, and perfectly golden — just the right balance between a comforting snack and a fun family activity.
We coated some in cinnamon sugar, glazed others with vanilla and chocolate, and of course, added sprinkles for that cheerful touch my kids adore. It was the perfect reminder that baking doesn’t need a special occasion — sometimes, the best memories come from ordinary days.
If you’re in Calgary and love homemade treats as much as we do, try baking your own donuts this week! Whether for a family snack, a school treat, or a cozy dessert, nothing beats the taste (and joy) of something made at home.
From our kitchen to yours — here’s to midweek sweetness and simple joys! 💛

​At Afsheed Cakes and Pastry, nothing brings us more joy than preparing custom orders filled with Persian delights! Recently, we had the pleasure of fulfilling two separate orders of assorted Persian pastries—each a unique showcase of tradition, creativity, and indulgence, delivered right here in Calgary.

The first order was a classic Persian assortment, elegantly packed with our house-made pistachio baklava, signature Almond Queen cookies, marmalade-filled treats, and delicate Persian-style rice cookies. Every bite captured the rich, buttery goodness and subtle floral notes that define traditional Persian baking. These pastries are not just desserts—they're celebrations of heritage and hospitality, perfect for gifting or gatherings.

The second order was a beautiful fusion-inspired collection. We layered Persian nostalgia with modern flair—think halva topped with chocolate, chocolate-drizzled nokhodchi, and reimagined Persian sweets with European finishes. It was a box full of surprises that beautifully bridged cultural tastebuds.

Whether you’re celebrating Nowruz, hosting guests, or simply treating yourself, our Persian pastries are freshly baked with premium ingredients, and every order is customizable to your preferences. And yes—we do local delivery across Calgary, always on time and with care.

At Afsheed Cakes and Pastry, every creation tells a story, and some stories are closer to our hearts than others. Recently, I had the honor of crafting a very special collection of boutique, single-serve Persian pastries for my beloved father's celebration of life ceremony here in Calgary. It was a tribute that blended deep-rooted Iranian traditions with modern, internationally appealing flavors.
In Iranian culture, sweets like halwa, dates, and assorted nuts have always played a significant role in ceremonies, especially those celebrating a loved one’s life. These ingredients are not just delicious; they are rich in symbolism, representing blessings, continuity, and gratitude. For this occasion, I decided to fuse these meaningful ingredients with Western elements such as premium chocolate, biscuits, and subtle oriental spices like ginger, creating an extraordinary taste experience.
The result? A luxurious, elegant collection of pastries that transcended cultural boundaries. Each single-serve piece was thoughtfully designed to deliver a perfect balance of rich, nutty, sweet, and spiced flavors. The beautiful presentation honored traditional Iranian hospitality while offering an artistic twist that appealed to guests from every background and culture.
Our boutique Persian pastries are ideal for any occasion — whether it’s a wedding, engagement, anniversary, memorial, or corporate event. With their refined flavors, delicate textures, and stunning aesthetics, they are a true celebration of heritage, love, and connection.
In Calgary, where diverse cultures meet, Afsheed Cakes and Pastry is proud to offer creations that respect traditions while embracing modern tastes. These pastries are a perfect way to honor the past while creating sweet memories for the future.
If you are looking for a meaningful, sophisticated, and truly delicious way to mark your special event, we invite you to explore our boutique Persian pastries. Each piece is handcrafted with love, tradition, and innovation — just as every important moment deserves.

Nothing could have prepared me for the moment I stepped into my father’s room in Iran. After a long journey from Calgary, I finally stood beside him. He was weak, in pain, and pale—but his eyes lit up when he saw me. That moment, that look, is something I will cherish forever.
I hugged him, held his hands, and he immediately noticed the marks on my skin, scars and burns from years of working in my bakery. He smiled and showed my hands to the nurse, saying, "I am proud of these working hands." That was my father—always recognizing hard work, always finding pride in the smallest things.
A few hours later, as we were still holding hands, I felt the warmth in his touch slowly fade. His journey on this earth had come to an end, and no matter what we did, we couldn’t bring him back. He had moved on to a better place.
For his memorial service, I wanted to honor him in a way that felt right. I made Sholeh Zard, a Persian saffron rice pudding that is sweet, fragrant, and comforting. It felt fitting to prepare it on the first day of Ramadan, a time of reflection and faith. I made a crazy amount—so much that even the manager of the venue was surprised. But I knew why. This was for my father.
Cooking this dessert, stirring the saffron-infused rice, and carefully decorating each portion felt healing. It was my way of saying goodbye, of expressing love the best way I know how--through food, through tradition, through something made with my hands.
Rest in peace, Baba. I will carry your love, your lessons, and your pride with me always.
