Baker and Scone in Toronto 

On St.Clair Avenue W in Toronto, you can find a small shop called Baker and Scone. They have the most delicious scones, maybe the best I’ve had. Crunchy on the outside, flaky & moist on the inside. Today I tried 2 new items…for me at least.. the first one was the Scone Cheddar Eggy. They take their cheddar & chives ( I think it is chives) scone & put an egg on it. Honestly, this was beyond delicious! Then I bought a maple syrup scone… Pancake Tuesday… to have for later! Haha. About 5 minutes later! I especially love their raspberry jammie scone… so good ! Whenever I am in Toronto I try to get to Baker and Scone the day I leave or the day before and take some back to Edmonton with me. I have frozen them & they are still good after that!! They have some other items in their shop. Tshirts, jars of jam, jars of scone mixes, meringues etc. oh, and the coffee is good too! I recommend if you can sometime when you are in Toronto to check out Baker and Scone !  

Here is a link to their website for yo uri check out

Jacki & The Duchess Bake Shop’s Pumpkin Pie

Jacki ( my daughter) loves making pie. And she does a good job at it too!  She is working for a company that employs some Americans so for American Thanksgiving Jacki made them a Pumpkin Pie.

They all loved it . Ate it all up, which is no surprise.

I could not find the recipe online and do not have permission to post it so I am just going to post a picture of the pie and a picture of the Duchess Bake Shop cookbook. This cookbook is so worth buying! I have made several recipes from it and they are all great. If you don’t live in Edmonton, this cookbook will allow you to enjoy some of the delicious baked goods that the Duchess Bake Shop makes. This patisserie has been named one of the best in the world by BuzzFeed in 2015. Everything they sell is perfect and delicious.

Here is a link to an article in the Edmonton Journal about the Duchess Bake Shop.
