sweet escape

Ms. B's Sweets at Sevva in Hong Kong (TOO Marvelous!!)

Fauchon in Paris. Their madelines are amazing and their packaging is all pink and black.

French macaroon anyone?
Pierre Herme

Local Finds:

La Bamboche Patisserie at Eglinton
They do macaroon trees!!!

Patisserie La Cigogne at Bayview

As I sit here finishing the last of my year end papers, I find myself procrastinating drifting away to a sweeter place and scowering the web for the finest pâtisserie's/bakeries from around the world and discovering some marvelous local ones on the way.

There seems to be something wonderful and magical that these shops have that lure you to them and when inside turns into a means of escape where we get lost in the aroma, decor, and of course the decadent variety of tasty treats they have to offer, all perfectly positioned in a linear fashion behind the glass that stands between you and the object of your affection.

It's like the world gets better when you step into this lovely little realm. Anyone have any notable ones that I need to know about?
