Sweet Bake Shop Vancouver Yaletown is a boutique bakery by local female entrepreneur Tessa Sam. Sweet Bake Shop started from her home kitchen in 2010. Girlie and whimsical sugar cookies soon captured the hearts of many Instagram followers; mine included. I’m so thrilled that this pink colored bakery is easily accessible and I no longer need to make an appointment to eat cake.

Sweet Bake Shop began as an creative outlet and a passion for baking. Not only is it fashionable, it is quite delicious.The beautiful storefront is cute and something out of a Pinterest Board. The cupcakes are soft, fluffy and moist. The icing is sweet but not over the top.

Cupcakes $3 each for $33 per dozen

Classic Carrot: Moist carrot cupcake, topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting with sprinkles. This was one of my favorite! Nothing like a comforting classic carrot cake!

French Cupcake: The best of both worlds – cupcake topped with macaron. The soft crunchy shell with a moist sweet center. I liked how the cupcake itself was less sweet and simple to balance the icing and macaron.

Pumpkin Spiced Cupcake: Pumpkin is the new Bacon and perhaps also pairs perfectly well with a PSL next door.

If fluffy clouds sugar cookies and ombre cakes don’t win your heart, I don’t know what will!

Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe is located on Fir St / 6th. Just before Granville Island situates a small bakery filled with pastries, 49th Parallel coffee and charm. You will recognize it by its red and white floral mural and a flock of loyal crowds. Jackie Ellis, who previously owned a design firm turned her passion of baking into reality by opening Beaucoup.

​

Instagram brought me to its creation of granite countertops to daily creations of chocolate rosemary cookie, almond croissant, pain au chocolate, etc. On a Sunday 1pm afternoon, there is not one seat in sight.

Lavender Earl Grey Ice Cream Macaron Sandwich (Beaucoup x Sunday Morning Ice Cream): This gourmet dessert treat was high sky of near $7 a piece. And even tho the sweltering heat of Vancouver summers (not complaining here!) nearly melted my ice cream, you could smell and taste the deep Earl Grey tea and lavender flavors. The macaron shell was soft and delicate with a nice crunch. What a treat.

Perhaps one day I can embark on those  Paris Tours tasting through patisseries in Paree.

Le Panier Bakery Seattle. This a little bakery beside Starbucks in Pike Place. While hundreds poor into the Starbucks mothership waiting, I slip into Le Panier Bakery Seattle for a cup of espresso, macaroons and palmier.

Sometimes I wonder what the fuss next door is all about while I can enjoy the simplicity of sipping my joe while dreaming looking out the window. The smell of freshly baked pastry and bread is intoxicating. The staff are friendly and quick.

Their macaroons are soft and tender inside; eggshell like outside. My favourite is still their lemon and orange macaroons. The flaky and slightly sweetened palmier makes a cup of bitter joe delightful. If you are a sweet tooth do try the Chocolatine (chocolate croissant with almond cream) … Everything about this place is simple, homey sort of vibe with delicious ingredients!

Until next time Seattle.
