Finally, a bakery that gets it
: Posted in by Justin on 10.13.2010
Loved Walsh Cooks’ take on Duchess Bakes Shop after their first visit:
Finally, a bakery that gets it. They advertise on their website that they are unapologetic for using real butter in their products, and for that, we are thankful.
Amen!

When the kids are at school: go for a pain au chocolat
: Posted in by Justin on 10.04.2010
I loved reading ShutterMaki’s blog post today. It was her first time in the shop; people’s first experiences are always so interesting. Here is a quote from her post:
The pain au chocolate with dark chocolate called for me, as did the mocha. Dark chocolate on the inside and sprinkles of dark chocolate on the outside was a chocoholic’s dream. I loved the fluffy, buttery pastry so much that I savored every bite. I’m not kidding, it was a sensational experience.

Local blogger Theo Psalios just paid us a visit. His blog post included this gem:
I would like to throw a bouquet to the people at Duchess Bake Shop for providing us foodies with such tantalizing treats. Day in and day out, their display cases are loaded with decadent pastries and baked lovelies from large to small and sweet to savory. You must see it with your own eyes and you won’t be disappointed.

Paige is a blogger who likes good food and traveling. As an out-of-town visitor, she decided to give Duchess Bakeshop a try. She wrote this review, accompanied by some great photos. Here is a quote:
The flavours [of the macarons] were strong but not artificial and the texture and size were perfect. If I lived in Edmonton, I would probably visit this sweet little cafe on a weekly basis.

If you pick up a copy of Edmonton’s Parlour magazine this month, you’ll find a two-page feature on Duchess Bake Shop. Here’s a quote:
