We had heard of French Made Baking through word-of-mouth and happened upon them at the Baker’s Market Vancouver this past Saturday: French Made Baking is a French-from-France couple, David and Catherine, both passionate about food and even more passionate about sharing it with family, friends, strangers: …anybody really as long as you have a sweet […]
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Review (Burlington, WA)
To take advantage of our NEXUS pass, we did some shopping (and eating!) in Washington state this past long-weekend. On the way home, I checked out the Lululemon outlet in Burlington (near Bellingham). However, after having no luck at the outlet, we noticed a Krispy Kreme and headed straight in for what else - doughnuts! […]

This licensed […]
Michele Cake Shop Kerrisdale Review
Located on West Boulevard, Michele Cake Shop is a really popular and therefore super busy bakery in Kerrisdale. So busy in fact, customers are required to take a number from the dispenser and wait their turn for service. The only problem is some patrons often attempt to bypass this rule and annoyingly jump the queue! […]
