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.

REVIEW | Schnitzel Hub

If vodka, Biergarten or Eastern European food means anything to you then Schnitzel Hub is the place you want to be. The diversity of cuisines has expanded in the St. Clair and Yonge area with Schnitzel Hub's second location.  Unlike the Schnitzel Hub's first location in Vaughan, this new spot offers a full bar, many more seatings for groups as well as a private dining area.   For vodka lovers, you'll be surprised to see some artisan house-infused vodkas at Schnitzel Hub with crazy flavours like lemon & ginger, candy, smoked bacon and even honey & chili pepper! I suggest you sip these infused vodkas to really taste the flavours.  Personally, I enjoyed the lemon & ginger but many others were raving about the horseradish! Now, onto the food offerings. This restaurant prides itself on creating homemade, authentic meals from Eastern an Central Europe with a focus on schnitzels.  I must say the portions here are very generous so it's a great spot to go for din...

REVIEW | HoneyButter - Decadent Macarons and more...

Who doesn't love desserts? We certainly do and that's why we were so excited to try out HoneyButter's   macarons!    HoneyButter is a private dessert company founded by Grace who offers a wide variety of desserts including cheesecakes, tarts, cupcakes cookies and of course macarons.  Anyone who likes to bake will tell you that baking is essentially a science. Proportions have to be exact or else the result turns out to be one of those "baking fails" that everyone laughs about. However, not all baking is created equally...cookies and breads tend to be on the easier side and then there are the macarons...in their perfect little shells just taunting you to attempt conquering them. Having tried and failed numerous times at making macarons myself, it's nice to know I can contact HoneyButter  to order some and know that when they arrive they'll look nothing like my own personal baking fail. The list of flavours for macarons is almost never ending and for HoneyBu...

REVIEW | CC Lounge & Supper Club

The first step inside the new CC Lounge & Supper Club on Yonge & Front will immediately draw your attention to their life-size gold-rimed birdcage, supple leather couches, wooden barrel tables and exposed brick wall - all meticulously designed to create the prohibition-era inspired atmosphere.  This Whisky specialty lounge provides guests a delicious menu full of comfort food as well as Whisky Tastings in their unique 'Whisky Tunnel.' The CC Lounge & Supper Club is quite spacious with lounge areas and the main bar at the front and more dining tables for groups and the infamous whisky tunnel towards the back of the restaurant.  The two spaces can be divided easily with velvet curtains, making it a great spot for groups and parties for special occasions. As I mentioned before, the decor is very eye catching! Beautiful swarovski crystal chandeliers are hung diagonally providing interesting light source and the exposed brick wall throughout the entire space stays true...
