Duchess Bakeshop is proud to be featured on CBC Radio’s Recipes Revealed with Tina Faiz this Thursday. Tune in to 93.9 at 7:45am on Thursday, September 22nd to hear Giselle and Jacob talk about their favourite Duchess dessert, the Paris Brest.
Sadly, this is our last week of making blueberry nectarine pies. Next week, look forward to an old favourite returning… apple pie! We will continue the saskatoon pies until the end of September and then replace it with pumpkin pies for the month of October. Autumn is our favourite pie season!
We will be closed Tuesday, September 6th for the Labour Day weekend. We’re going to take this opportunity to make some jams and preserves. Sorry for the inconvenience!

We are in need of a part-time early evening/weekend dishwasher. This is a perfect job for a student! E-mail resumes to info@duchessbakeshop.com if you’re interested. Thank you!
Please remember that we will be closed on July 1st for Canada Day so make sure you stock up on treats for you barbecues and parties beforehand.

Everybody here at Duchess would like to extend our warmest thanks to everybody who voted in both See Magazine’s Best of Edmonton contest and Vue Weekly’s Golden Forks. We’re very happy to say that we won “Best Bakery” in See Magazine and both “Best Sweet and Desserts” and “Best Baking” in Vue Weekly. Rest assured we will continue to strive to provide the utmost quality possible in our products. Thanks!

It’s official! We are expanding our current home to include the space next door. While we’re very excited about this it also means that there may be a bit of noise or other inconveniences over the next few months as we build things. Hopefully people won’t be too inconvenienced and the end result will be worth it! We’ll keep you posted on our progress.
Come check out our new macarons flavours for the month of May. Chocolate Black Licorice, Elderflower, and Le Canadien (maple bacon brûlée).
