Gateaux Rose, I want to give you 5 stars yo, you're everything I like in a consumable product:…read morelocal, up and coming, and you make cupcakes! So, here's the deal with Gateaux Rose as far as I can gather: They are a new bakery in Halifax currently operating without a shop front HOWEVER they have a kick ass website where you can see all sorts of details pertaining to their own unique cake menu (past work), pricing and my favorite: recipes! Having stumbled upon the Gateaux Rose website a couple days ago (and with a trip to see the extended familia in my very close future) I decided to venture a go at one of their recipes, and more specifically: Thanksgiving browned butter sweet potato cupcakes with whipped cream cloud frosting. Bitting off more than I can chew you say? You might be right... Gateaux Rose, I could have really used a 'yield' amount. ie- this recipe will make so many friggin cupcakes that you will run out of little 'cake tins to cook them in and will be flogging cupcakes at random strangers in the hopes of keeping your weight to within 10 lbs of whatever you weighed p.c.e. (pre-cupcake endeavor) Really... i'm headed to see family and this is still an obscene number of cupcakes to have around even dispersed amongst a group. Come to think of it, there's one more detail that would have been really relevant: a bake temperature and bake time? Assume this detail didn't quite make it onto the website but that's ok becccaauuuseee... THESE CUPCAKES ARE AMAZING!!! My icing didn't turn out as pretty as yours G.R. folk but I appreciated your little tips about how to tell when my sugar was done cookin' and such: 'it'll look like a gummy ball at the bottom of a cup of water' was surprisingly accurate. Gateaux Rose does all sorts of speciality orders whether it be a birthday, baby shower or any other celebration this is definitely the new spot in town to try out! The thing I liked a lot about the orders pictured on the website was that they were all unique and individual and seemed to have been created with a specific person in mind. ie- no stock 'this is how we do a wedding cake' sorta stuff. The folks at G.R. can also be found some Saturday's (check their website) at the Brewery Market! I really love your online recipes too G.R. but a simplified version of some things would be useful for those of us that don't tend to have: cream of tartar and honeyed dates hanging around. Great cupcakes! Can't wait to try a market morsel of your own baking!

They made me a batch of cupcakes that really stole the show at my family's Christmas dinner. Turkey? Great. Veggies? Tasty. But then I produced a tray of cupcakes FILLED WITH SALTED CARAMEL and topped with a citrus mousse. Holy Cats! Gateaux Rose is also different because the ladies who make the goodies are NSCAD grads. Their cupcakes look as good as they taste, with intricate designs and wee marzipan accessories. Basically, I'm in love with these cupcakes and want to marry them and have a life-long, fulfilling relationship. We'd be so happy together!

EDIT: first 1 star review removed…read more First visit we shows up for 7am. Staff told us the girl who works on the counter was late so it will be a few minutes. We waited outside where staff sat on their phones inside and tried their hardest to not make eye contact with us. Finally after 25 mins we had enough so we got up to leave. At this point they were turning away multiple other customers. Not sure why the other two staff members couldn't set up the place or at least apologize and keep us updated. If it was going to be a long wait then just tell us. I wouldn't have stayed. Came back mid day to actually taste the food. See other reviews of the last time when they didn't open on time. Area has parking on street as well as around back. You have to register your car. No Accessbility door function and the door opens out. Service was slow. Products were mostly sold out. (It's only 1:30pm) I got an almond croissant. I wouldn't even say it was a croissant because it has been flattened. But the filling was good. After two visits I just dont get why this place keeps getting recommended.

Bought their products from Pete's. Delicious and worth every cent. Oatmeal raisin cookies yum!read more

I ordered 40 of their carrot cake cupcakes for a birthday party and they had to be just right. 24 Carrots delivered! The cakes were perfect. The right balance of icing and cake; unlike some of the other bakeries which have globs of icing in them and dry cake with no flavour. The cake was rich with a hint of spice and a few bits of walnuts in it. At $2 a cake I think these guys are the lowest priced local bakery in town too. The bakery was very professional. It was no problem to substitute the normal, carrot decoration for a custom message. My order was all packaged up and waiting for me when I told them I would pick it up.

I don't know if this policy is driven by fear or virtue signalling at this point in the game. If you want to wear a mask fine but don't force this on customers we have had 3 years of devastation. Businesses were ruined, and society still dealing with the aftermath of lockdowns and inflation. I'll say it a little louder for those who can't hear it in the back "THE PANDEMIC IS OVER" You boast about having an inclusive space on your website while enforcing unnecessary masking on people.

To cool off after exploring Halifax, we each ordered a mango and passion fruit soft-serve ice cream in a cup. I also purchased a milk chocolate slate with almonds, a box of milk chocolate-covered hazelnuts, and a few wild rose milk chocolate truffles to enjoy later. The soft-serve ice cream was outstanding. We both agreed that it was one of the tastiest soft serves we've had in quite some time. The vanilla bean soft serve was exceptionally smooth, creamy, and flavorful, while the mango and passion fruit added a refreshing tropical twist that was perfect for a warm day. One of the highlights of our visit was chatting with Tara, the front store manager. She was friendly, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the chocolate-making process used by the owner and master chocolatier, Julien Rousseau. Learning about the craftsmanship and care that goes into creating the chocolates made the experience even more enjoyable and interesting. Tara's assistant, Aldrin, was equally warm and welcoming, making us feel appreciated from the moment we walked through the door. The shop itself is spotless, beautifully presented, and offers a relaxing atmosphere. After spending several hours walking around Halifax, it was the perfect place to sit down, enjoy a sweet treat and a latte, and take a break. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would not hesitate to stop by again the next time we are in Halifax. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional chocolates, smooth and creamy soft-serve ice cream, excellent lattes, and genuinely friendly service.

I have found a description of some of the chocolate flavours online. There are still several chocolates in the box which are not shown online, especially the decorative holiday designs. I had to bite the bullet (i.e. chocolate [pun intended]) and hope for the best. Unlike the last time, the box was filled with chocolate flavours that I really liked. Some are very original like blueberry tea and the blue speckled dome-shaped dark salted butter caramel. Most of the chocolates shifted out of place, turned upside down or sideways in transit (see photo). I've been in touch with an executive at the company who knows about the issue and is planning to change the packaging. Hopefully, they will also enclose in each box a QR code or website address/URL detailing all their chocolate flavours. I appreciate that someone reached out to me when they read that my experience wasn't as positive as they or I would have liked. This is a company that cares about its customers and reputation. Their handcrafted chocolates are beautiful with many looking like works of art.
