Now here’s the deal, I can cook but I can’t bake! It’s a fact. I can make pancakes though, I’m sure this counts for something, eh?

Some of us are more on the ” Salty” side and others ” Sweets” side. I am with the SALT! Pass me the chips, salsa, more chips and pretzels. There are times when I crave sweets, t0 later direct myself towards the pantry to find nothing in sight I can snack on, major bummer. But I will have 3 different types of chips and crackers to choose from.

I love exploring different restaurants when I am in the city. I like to taste new meals, finding new places to eat and excite my taste buds. I can’t speak for everyone on this, but for me it’s a pleasure. I love being able to create new dishes, mix flavours, and take a leap of faith with the herbs and spices rack. Have you ever tried mixing Sriracha sauce and Agave nectar before? I have, and it’s amazing! Try it! It turns into this sweet and tangy glaze, perfect for an oven roasted potato dish.

While downtown, of course randomly out of nowhere a sudden urge for sucrerie – sugar in French, tingled me. After leaving Dekalb’s Farmer’s Market, my friend suggested we stop by Southern Sweets Bakery, located right across the market. They  are a bakery and cafe who serve vegan cakes and as well as regular cakes. They offer 11 different flavours of vegan cakes. Now that’s luxury.

A Slice Of Strawberry Layer Cake.

After playing tag you’re it over the counter selection, I decided to go with a slice of the Strawberry Layer Cake. 100% Vegan. 100% Pureness. The first bite was glorious; the fresh strawberry glaze, moist layer, and whipped cream all in one it almost made me cry. I couldn’t contain myself of excitement, because it was one of the best things i’ve ever tasted.

In my next visit I will definitely have to try the Rustic Apple Pie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse cake.

I would hope for the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse to be a mixture of a Reesee’s Peanut Butter Cup!

I like the idea of it, don’t you?

If you’re in the area and are craving a little sweetness to your day, stop by.

I suggest the Strawberry Layer Cake as your first try.

There’s nothing like a classic!
