I have tried more things from here since my first visit a few years ago. I really want to love the…read morecakes here but they are just not wow to me. The highlight is still the shortbread cookies. The cakes are still not that great to me. The latest cake I tried was the Dubai chocolate cake. If I eat it as just a chocolate cake, then it's good. As Dubai chocolate, it falls way short. It is lacking the kataifi (or knafeh) bits and I can barely taste the pistachio cream or tahini. The chocolate is probably overpowering the other flavors. Very pretty in presentation though. The blackforest cake is also lacking in the kirsch taste. I can barely taste it. Maybe I had a such a great tasting blackforest cake before that many places do not match up to it. Bottom line: just get the shortbread cookie. Get the cakes only if you're really craving it and this is the only place nearby for it.

The chocolate icing was just right to add a thin layer of silkiness without feeling greasy, and lighten up the chocolate cheese cake. The 6" cake is just right for a group of 6-10. The strawberry and fruit decoration were all eaten up by the kids in the family so that's always fun.

Weeks…read morelater, I made sure to make a stop to find out what delicious treats this bakery has to offer. To my wonderful surprise, they offered many delicious sweets (yes, my fave!) like cupcakes, cookies, cakes and more! Everything we tried was delicious. My faves from the 12 things I ordered includes the red velvet cupcake, ginger cookie and cake pop. Selection-wise, they also offer some vegan, gluten friendly and dairy free options. If you're looking for custom cakes, you can get that from here too. The store itself is not huge and may be easy to miss while driving around in the complex. You can find them next to Original Joe's at the former Fido location. They have a few tables for seating so you can easily enjoy a sweet treat right away when you visit. BTW, make sure to check out their Instagram to see what other goodies they can make you. Everything is so pretty. On another note, their staff is super friendly too. I look forward to my next visit there. I hope they serve some coffee in the future.

The Guildford location is really great because it's not crowded and I was able to get the pastry while it was still warm. I liked how the taste was light and the texture of mochi and flakey pastry combined was really nice. I also got a wintermelon pastry. Overall, the store was organized, friendly, and I had a wonderful experience

I've been visiting this Chinese bakery quite frequently since they're doing a $1 special everyday…read morefor the rest of May! This time, the sale item was a cheese wiener bun which was fairly solid but could've used a bit more cheese in my opinion. I'm excited to see what other items they will put as part of this promotion since I'm able to try new buns that I wouldn't normally get (I usually stick to their Curry Beef Bun since it's the best one I've had). I've also tried their cakes in the past and I would rank them fairly high amongst other Chinese bakeries in the area though their cakes are a bit more pricy. Overall a very convenient location especially when on the way to Walmart for errands, a very solid Chinese bakery with lots of pastries that aren't too sweet

I met the owner as well and she was very nice, letting me know that they had taken over management only a couple months ago. Their custom cake looks really epic too! However, I didn't like the two items at all, they were both overly sweet. The muffin was super oily, where it seep through the wrapper and bag, which is shocking because the muffin was actually dry and crumbly...not sure how that works. The muffin also lacked any filling, so it was dry and plain, other than the topping, which was way too sweet. The cookie wasn't that bad, I wished that they used dark chocolate because it was really sweet, and a bit hard. The best cookies for me are the ones that are crispy on the outside but soft in the inside, which this one is hard throughout. I personally don't like sweet things so if you have a sweet tooth, definitely check it out - but I was surprised about the muffin as I never seen such an oily muffin before but that's also dry.

Who loves donuts? Especially Punk Rock Pastries!…read more They're located at 5548 Hastings Street in Burnaby, and the owner, the super cool and wildly talented Chef Hollie, makes the most wicked cakes, donuts, pastries, and double-stuffed cookies you can imagine. My absolute favorite is the Bubble Gum & Raspberry Filled Donut -- OMG. It's baked fresh and literally oozing with sweet raspberry filling in every bite. I'm obsessed! And let me tell you -- Chef Hollie also created the Ultimate Donut Platter display for my niece's birthday, and she was completely shocked at how cute and over-the-top it was! It was such a showstopper and made the party extra special. I love supporting a local, boss-lady business -- and she's a two-time Food Network winner to boot! P.S. The Hastings bakery is such a fun vibe and they have lots of gluten-free options too. Totally worth checking out

Like I'm not kidding I haven't been to another backers that so far out of the box yet. I got a meat pie ( that's not that creative) but man was it tasty. The twix cheesecake is what caught my attention though, I had to double take. I love twix and I love love cheesecake so I had to get one. Then I started looking at all the others creative collaborations of some of my favourite treats and the mashups between, pies, cakes, bischoff, twix, Oreos, brownies and cheesecakes I almost lost it. I had to rein it in before I put myself in a diabetic coma . The service was awesome as well, all in all if you have a sweet tooth craving and want something that's differently tasty it's worth stopping in to see if there's something that's differently tickles your fancy

Got one of the vanilla and one of the chocolate fudge? They were both gluten free but only the chocolate one was also vegan. I think gluten free pastries come out super dense so they're definitely not light and fluffy. Both had a really basic whip cream on top...not what I was expecting for cupcakes. Overall I thought the vanilla was better than the chocolate but not by much as it didn't have much taste to it.
