French Made Baking Review
on May 17, 2012 in Dessert, French
We first encountered French Made Baking at the Vancouver Baker’s Market late last year.

If you’re craving doughnuts, then there’s no place that can satisfy quite as thoroughly as Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

Trafiq Café & Bakery kindly hosted Eating in Vancouver last week, where we had the opportunity to sample some delectable baked goods and beverages.
