I used to find petits gâteaux and entremets very intimidating to make, mainly because of the amount of work required. To create all those layers and textures, it can take up to a few days to make just one cake. Once the sponge cake, fruit gelée, and other inserts (like mousse or fruit purée Continue reading »
I’ve always wanted to go on a Pâtisserie Crawl. Although the idea may sound fun, consuming so many sweet treats one after another is definitely not an easy task. Even for a pastry lover like myself, stuffing my face with endless macarons proved to be more difficult than I imagined. But I Continue reading »
Strawberry, lychee & raspberry shortcake. Mocha, chocolate & coconut macarons + fondant cookie. Bye bye Fonz! Pâtisserie La Cigogne, Rahier, La Bamboche and Ruelo. Green & pink lychee macarons. It’s funny how I bake macarons at least 3 times a week, but I’m still not sick of them. Continue reading »

My favourite kind of porn — more so than food porn, it’s specifically cake porn. I spotted this book, Pâtisseries à Paris, at a store in Kensington Market (I don’t remember the name). If you’re wondering whether I can read Japanese, the answer is no. And the thing is, I don’t need to. Continue reading »
Alright, my fellow cake & dessert lovers; here’s my 8th review on La Bamboche Patisserie. You’re all probably too familiar with them by now, so I’m just going to keep this post short and sweet. If you still haven’t read my previous post on La Bamboche featuring their Cake Royale Continue reading »
This is probably my gabillionth time here at La Bamboche, but what can I say? If I keep coming back here, then it should tell you something (actually it should be screaming something by now since I’ve been constantly bombarding everyone with pictures of their yummy cakes!). I made a Continue reading »
Another visit to my all-time favourite patisserie, La Bamboche :) I ordered two macarons; chocolate and green tea mango, at $2.50 each. I also had a roast beef sandwich ($6.95) and a De Luxe au Caramel et Yuzu ($5.95). Thick pieces of roast beef piled on top of a half-inch thick of Brie, toppled Continue reading »
So I went back to Clafouti to try a different tart this time, and I had the Pear Almond Tart ($3.15). It didn’t have a strong pear taste, but I did like the texture. The taste is light although the tart itself is dense. I prefer their Lychee Caramel Tart :) After my volunteer information … Continue reading »
The Yonge/Mount Pleasant & Eglinton area has an abundance of yummy patisseries. My first stop was Jules Patisserie. It’s a very small place with dim lighting, but the smell of their pastries is beyond belief. I chose their Custard filled Croissant and Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche. Continue reading »
