This weekend they had their pop tarts at the Kitten and the Bear and they were magical. I got the box of six of them. Two of each flavour.

So I FINALLY was able visit just the other day & specifically came for their Passion (today's was strawberry) Flakies, as they are only sold on weekend. I have been obsessing to try these for over a year now. In high school, I was addicted to the Vachon version, so happy they have made their own (sans chemicals) & am happy to report they deliver on light creamy jam deliciousness! Thank goodness I pre-order/paid as they were sold out the time we arrived. As I visited with my sister, we also tried the vanilla s'mores (which they lightly torched... extra Yum toasted flavour), small peanut cookie sandwich.

We ordered a beautiful two-tier cake for our engagement party in Toronto, and it was truly…read moreexceptional. Days later, we're still enjoying it and remarking on how delicious it remains. The top tier was red velvet, and the bottom was vanilla fudge (which my fiancé absolutely loves!) The cake was so good that we're turning the leftovers into cake pops just to keep enjoying it. Easily the best cake either of us has ever had. We couldn't recommend it more.

Walked in assuming I could buy a vegan birthday cake, but I was wrong. They only have eggless cakes…read morein stock and vegan need to be pre-ordered. The new store inside is classy and clean. Many multicoloured iMacs for the associates. The young associate I interacted with spoke so fast that it was hard to comprehend what she talked about and asked her to repeat several times. The mask doesn't help as well. Picked up an in-stock Pineapple Cake and a container of two small slices of what looked like Black Forest cake. The pineapple cake was liked and appreciated by all. The icing was specially mentioned as it wasn't too sweet. The vegan cake slices were a disappointment. The cake was too dry and I didn't enjoy a bit. In fact left it after eating half of the small slice and the other was discarded.

The hospitality here was amazing and they even helped take our group photos at the end!

Local Afghani bakery in Vaughan... What a gem! I came here originally because I saw online that…read morethey sell honey cake, and ended up walking out with MOCHA honey cake and trying Afghani ice cream for the first time. The Afghani ice cream had such an interestingly pleasant texture and rich milk & cardamom flavor. They have two sizes, small (closer like a medium tbh) for $8 or large for $16. The portion is quite large, its stretchy texture allows it to sit on top of itself like a soft serve would. It came topped with crushed pistachios and what I believe was condensed milk? If you've ever had rasmalai before, this ice cream tastes exactly like it. SO GOOD. Mocha honey cake was decent, the texture was on point but I wasn't the biggest fan of the frosting (like a buttercream??) and caramel they used, which is why I docked a star. It was also $9 per slice. I think mocha is a cool spin on traditional medovik, but my expectations were a bit different since I'm used to the traditional Eastern European version where the frosting base should be made with sour cream. Their staff is very hospitable & the atmosphere is cute and very clean. Aside from cakes, pastries, and ice cream, they also sell gelato, large quantities of high quality saffron, organic dried nuts, mulberries, and raisins! Overall, cool spot with a unique dessert I'd highly recommend people from other backgrounds should give a try. The Afghan ice cream is really good and honestly the only thing I'd stick to if I came back.

Wow! The cupcakes here are amazing !!! So delicious and pretty looking…read more My bfs sister bought these for us and it was love at first sight! My favourite flavours were red velvet and mango! The red velvet was just the perfect level of richness and sweetness! The buttercream on the mango cupcake tasted like mango bubble tea, so delicious!! The coconut flakes flavour tasted exactly like the Chinese coconut cream bun, unique for cupcake but nothing special! The raspberry flavour was just alright for me but the bf loved it! The worse flavour had to be chocolate- it tasted way too regular! Overall , I loved the cupcakes and would definitely return:)

The cake portion was moist and the generous heaping of buttery cream cheese frosting on top was amazing. Would definately come back again some day for a sugar fix or special occasion treats!

Good. Lord. I love…read morered velvet cake. I try to avoid hyperbole when possible but freakin' mother of all that is holy, that was the best red velvet cake I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will forever be ruined on all red velvet cakes thanks to Zehra. No joke. Greatest. Red Velvet. EVAR. I thought wedding cakes were supposed to be dry, and brick-like, and horrible in every way, but apparently they can look AND taste amazing. It's not a bakery where you can just go in and order things off a menu. Obviously, because Fine Cakes by Zehra is only available for bespoke cakes, and desserts designed specifically for weddings and wedding-related festivities. Really, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind about quality (see drooling crazy person rave above) and craftsmanship (see her website). But she knows that. She knows she's good, and you can tell as much when you meet her. She conveys confidence in her creative craft (alliteration for the win) and her interactions were (almost) intimidating for someone like me, who up until two months ago thought that all cakes were made by a lady named Betty Crocker. The consultation (appointment required, you can't just walk in to her studio) involved me, my fiancée, her sister, and my friend (who happened to be with us at the time) meeting with Zehra to discuss what we were wanting. And she managed to make me feel like a scared child while she threw out questions like a drill sergeant. Then it basically followed with what she envisioned for the cake to match our theme, and she was designing on the fly even as we were answering her questions (who am I kidding, I answered no questions). The samples she provided were amazing. I would have been happy continuing to think that wedding cakes are generally terrible tasting, but she's taken that away from me, forever. Then she gave us the price, and my heart skipped a beat. But like I said earlier, she knows she's good. And really, that's my only gripe (which is not really a gripe). She kind of gave off a vibe that said "This is how it is, and you can take it or leave it." And justifiably so because from what I can tell, she's sought after by a lot of people, and she's not really hurting for our business. We still haven't decided if we're going with her yet, because even after cutting our servings down severely, we were still left with a price that was higher than we had budgeted. And by the time we decide, she may very well be booked by someone else. For people who aren't limited by silly things like wedding cake budgets, knock yourselves out. She will give you crack cocaine in fancy cake form, and you will thank her for it.

Obsessed with our wedding cake! We told Zehra what we like…read moreand don't like in terms of style, colours, flavours etc. - she listened very carefully and asked us to leave it all in her hands. We had full trust in her to create the perfect cake for our special day, and she did such an incredible job. We are beyond happy with the result and it tasted as good as it looked! Thank you, Zehra. You are truly very talented... and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
