Although I’m not a fan of candy cane myself, I really wanted to use it in my holiday baking since it’s so festive and seasonal! When I came across Adriano Zumbo’s candy cane macaron recipe, my eyes lit up because his candy cane-shaped macarons were too adorable for words. Besides 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 »

For the post and a million photos of the elegant bakery, click here :) Before heading to Table 17 for their Table d’Hôte menu, I took Anna to Bobbette & Belle for some lovely pastries since I had such a … Continue reading »
When it comes to afternoon tea, what immediately comes to mind are multiple tiers of decadent cakes, tea sandwiches, scones, and let’s not forget, an assortment of precious loose-leaf tea to choose from. Enjoying afternoon tea with friends is a luxury, but much needed Continue reading »

I made a Continue reading »

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 »
Here I am at Nadege, yet again! I like how the taste in their cakes are never overpowering; subtle but you can still taste and appreciate each individual ingredient. The Lemon/Ginger/Honey cake ($9) had pieces of lemon and a stick of white chocolate on top as garnish. This is a Continue reading »
Before watching MegaMind, Maggie and I spoiled ourselves at La Bamboche. As you all already know, I frequent this patisserie too often but I still can’t get enough of it. Mega indulgence: Opera de la Passion, Asparagus & Swiss Quiche, Salted Caramel Macaron and Chocolate & Almond Continue reading »
Chrissy and I had dinner at Five Doors North at Yonge & Eglinton. It was a very satisfying dinner but I did’t take any pictures as it was too dark inside. After dinner we hopped over to La Bamboche for their luscious cakes. I had Esprit Du Japon and Chrissy had Gateau De Macaron. The … Continue reading »
