It's not as fluffy/moist as I thought a chiffon cake would be and I think because the cream is only in the layers and not on the outside. The taste of mangoes and taro and sticky rice are there. Muted. Nothing overpowering. A unique combination. I would try other cake flavours next time. But this is aesthetically pleasing for photos

For a special birthday, I wanted to order a stunning cake. I am a huge cake lover, and I have had…read moremy share of disappointments. I actually wanted to bake one, but my decorating skills are not that advanced! I was intrigued by the good reviews of Sugar Peony, and knowing chestnuts are a family favorite, I went with the 6" French Chestnut cake. I placed the order over the phone with Linda (48 hours is required) and she assured me it would be fresh. I purchased a Groupon for a 6" cake at $28.80 and redeemed it with no problems. It seems the majority of people use a Groupon to purchase the cakes or macarons. I personally could not see myself paying the regular price of $58 + tax, so it was a good deal. I arrived just when the boutique was opening at 12 noon and met with Linda. She explained how she used fresh chestnuts and I was quite surprised because the majority of cakes, even from high-end patisseries uses chestnut puree. Linda said the puree would make the cake too sweet, so I was excited to taste it! The cake was fresh, moist and decorated beautifully. We are not fans of super sweet desserts, so if you are looking for a cake that is very low on the sweetness scale, these types of cakes are perfect. While the chestnut flavor was not predominant, the caramel flavored Callebaut "crispearls" added a nice textural crunch. The other flavors of cakes may be interesting to try next time.

From the sign in large letters outside, to the displays of macaroons by the counter, to the brightly painted interior, it is literally like a shining beacon in the middle of nowhere. The owner herself is also such a lovely lady - I could tell by her patience when I was placing my order (telling me all about the cake flavours, the ingredients, when and how to pick up, etc.) how dedicated she is to what she does. And it clearly showed in the dessert itself. I first chanced upon this store on Yelp, which mentioned a Groupon that offered a heavily discounted price - so of course I had to look into it. Using that (about 50% off) coupon, I ordered a chocolate élysée cake for Mother's Day. The cake came out even more beautifully than I expected, and was an absolute delight to eat. The varying layers of chocolate - the slightly bitter frosting, the richly sweet inside, the chocolate pieces decorating the top and sides - all blended perfectly, as did the textures, smooth and velvety throughout until you get to the wonderfully crunchy bottom. It was a feast for our eyes, too, as my mom commented that it was almost a pity to cut the cake apart - and the packaging is probably one of the prettiest I've seen (or maybe I just like the pink colour. Lol). Why 4 stars (instead of 5)? Well, I did come here on a Groupon...and the original price of $58 for a 6 inch cake is just WAY too much. If ever I need a specialty cake for an occasion, though, this place is on my radar. :)

Their mochi taro cake is loaded with taro paste and the layer of mochi was just enough- you can taste some in each bite and not too much. This bento is a generous portion for 2 and only costs $15! They also have other flavors such as chestnut which we also love. Also worth mentioning, they have walk-in specials that are cheaper than the price on their website ($8 vs $15).

Made an online order about a week ahead of time for my dad's birthday. Located in the T&T…read moreSupermarket plaza (directly across from T&T, next to the entrance towards South Unionville), it is very difficult to find parking. If you're just doing a pickup like me, it'll be easier for you to just temporarily park by the curb and go in. Picking up was very quick and easy - I was in and out within minutes. Just remember to have your phone number ready! They have pretty interesting flavours but this time got the Matcha Red Bean Mochi Cake. The matcha flavours were good and not too sweet, and complimented the red bean nicely. I did really enjoy the mochi layer. The cake itself was also very light. I don't really know what the things on top of the cake were (dried figs?) but we didn't eat them, so not sure if they're edible. I'm usually the cake-person for my friends and family, and I definitely will be ordering from here again, especially to try the other flavours. 10/10 would come again! Tip: my cake came with a sparkler. I didn't get a choice in candle, so beware!

Their main location is in Mississauga, and they expanded to North York a few years ago. Service is nice and cheerful, making you feel quite welcome. I like their drink selection that has some interesting things like black sesame latte, tiramisu latte, and grapefruit tea. Their dessert select is good too, with things big and small. Their rolls and cakes are excellent, with plenty of cream, not too sweet. The cakes are beautifully glazed and decorated. The sweet potato cake is fluffy and light. The mont blanc has a nice chestnutty flavour, but is a bit too sweet for my liking. At the moment, they are selling Korean dubai chewy cookies, but we'll see how long this fad lasts...

My friend who loves cake recommended me to check out Tokyo Cheesecake for the Double Layer Yakult…read moreCheesecake. I was a bit skeptical because I'm not a huge fan of yakult aka yogurt stuff. But she was right LOL. It was really good, and it was even better than the desserts at the restaurant we had dinner at that night. We cut the 6" cheesecake into 12 small pieces, and it was perfect for a sweet little treat at the end of our meal :) The staff were courteous and ready to help. It was quite busy even on a Saturday evening around 6pm. There are also tables inside the shop for dining in. Other than whole cakes, they do have slices of cakes available and other mini desserts + a lot of macarons! We did request the shop to write HBD on the cake, but the staff said they are unable to do it at this location (not sure why, maybe don't have the proper tools?). We also tried asking for a candle; we ended up having to buy a pack of 6 candles at the shop :\

Never had I had a pastry from this shop that was not up to par. I drive almost an hour to get the pastry from here, so that should tell you how solid they are. Service always very nice. The Richmond Hill location which I frequent has no dine inside option. They also sell to the grocery stores, definitely seen their cakes in Fortinos. They are on the pricier side but worth it. For any special occasion or just because, I recommend this place.

The strawberry shortcake is fluffy, just the right about of cream and sweetness. The matcha tiramisu is rich in matcha flavour and just the right amount of sweet to offset the bitter matcha. The regular tiramisu has a strong and balanced coffee flavour. The black sesame cake has a great texture and strong black sesame flavour. I enjoy vanilla addition too. The mango cheesecake is really smooth and a real mango flavour (no artificial flavour). It's been popular when I bring cakes to gatherings , but I also enjoy popping by to grab a slice. They have 50% off older slices which is a steal if you visit on the right day. Haven't tried their cafe food or drinks but they do have a nice ambiance and seating.

Their designs are abundant on the website and they really get the design to a tee, it was PERFECT. Flavour selection is pretty good and I did have a short call with them while ordering on their site to determine which flavour was recommended as well as what colours I wanted the cake design to emphasize. I had to check Google reviews to confirm instructions on their location, but when I got to the Langham Square plaza it was easy enough to find based on their address (unit number 2006). Staff gave clear instructions at pick up to keep the cake in the floor of the car during transport and to store the cake in a fridge until ready to eat. The box for transport was great because I got to check the design easily before leaving and the ribbon was tightly wrapped to secure the box cover to the base. The staff speak Mandarin as well as English. Payment was all done online beforehand. Highly recommend ordering their cakes for any event!

The website is easy to order from, and since my brother picks up the cake, the instructions make pick ups very simple between the two of us. The first thing my family and I noticed was that the pandan was very aromatic, but not overpowering. The cake and mousse cream didn't have an artificial colour to it, and there was a very nice balance of fruity flavours with the mango compote and coconut graham base. The mango compote was different (texture-wise) but delicious nonetheless! Most importantly, my mom enjoyed it and as "every Asian parent" says, this cake is definitely not too sweet nor heavy, and the portion was great for 4 of us (we got the 5"x3" cake [6 servings]).
