REVIEW | Homemade, delicious cakes without a high price tag from La Dulce Torta

If you've ever met Monica and I, you'll know that we are not ones to turn down cake or any dessert for that matter. They're the perfect desserts for any occasion, and there's nothing more satisfying than that first cut into a cake. There's definitely an abundance of bakeries across Toronto, including one that we came across recently, called: La Dulce Torta.


La Dulce Torta is a bakery that offers delicious, homemade and affordable cakes within downtown Toronto and GTA. Let's be honest, cakes don't come cheap and and customizing is a whole new story. Luckily La Dulce Torta can cater to what you're looking for, including wedding cakes! 

Their cakes are definitely on the affordable side and won't cost you an arm and leg. We got to try their double chocolate cake as well as the lemon cake. 

We were sold at chocolate, I mean chocolate on its own is already great but double chocolate is just too good to be true! The cake was decadent and rich, definitely perfect for all chocolate lovers out there! 

A 7" cake which serves 10-12 people only costs $30 and is worth every penny.


Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, I got a taste of the lemon cake. I find that not a lot of places offer a lemon cake, which is a shame cause anything acidic and tart ends a meal really well. There are those out there that prefer vanilla over chocolate (ahem, Monica) and she would choose the lemon cake in a heartbeat.


La Dulce Torta's lemon cake, with handmade lemon curd within a cintrus tinged vanilla cake, is definitely one of my favourites and would appeal to a greater audience and for those who prefer a cake that's not as sweet and rich.

Whatever cakes you decide to try, we suggest having it fresh as the flavours really come out and the cake is moist. The next time you're looking to order a cake, definitely consider La Dulce Torta. You will get a delicious, handmade cake without the high price tag.

EVENT | Our Recap on the Delicious Food Show 2014 - what we ate, drank & loved!

The 3-day Delicious Food Show, perfect for food lovers in Toronto is back for 2014. Unlike other culinary shows that happen in the city, what I like about DFS is that it's not massive and overcrowded but has a good number of exhibitors and features an impressive list of celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations and workshops - talk about interactive!

REVIEW | Light Cafe

We find Baldwin Village to be a street in Toronto that is ever growing. You'll never know what to expect in terms of businesses that will pop up! Not to mention it's diverse food culture including gelato, ramen, Italian, Filipino food and so much more. It doesn't surprise us at all that Light Cafe decided to take residence on Baldwin.  I have traveled quite extensively through Asia and can say with confidence that Light Cafe looks exactly like a cafe you would find in Taiwan. Not only is it spacious inside, I love the minimalist decor inside which provides a calming atmosphere. I could see myself sitting at the cafe for hours (within reason haha) and getting some work done.  The first thing that we noticed and I'm sure many of you will as well - is the living wall. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where there was a living wall but I've always wanted one of my own. With the natural sunlight coming in with the wall, it's the perfect place to f...

Recently named 'Best Butcher in Toronto' by Now Magazine, the Healthy Butcher   just may become your go-to butcher shop for organically & locally-sourced meats as well as sustainable seafood!  It's no surprise that The Healthy Butcher caters to those that 'live to eat' as they're passionate about food themselves. In fact, they're so serious, that they offer educational and fun workshops on roasting, knife skills, butchering and lots more... The hands-on workshops and classes are held on weekday evenings and range from $40 to $125 per person depending on the class.  With an intimate group, you'll be sure to learn a new set of skills at these 2.5 hr classes at The Healthy Butcher in the company of other food lovers.  When I first heard about their workshops, I thought it would be a perfect team-building exercise for co-workers but it would be great to take friends or family as it's a great time overall.
