Between Besty's English chocolate and watching these baking shows, my mind is leaning toward all things sweet and yummy. James and I found a small shop in Ridgeway, Ontario a couple years ago where imported candies were sold, but then in a google search I found this super looking German Bakery in Crystal Beach. Oh, my! I think I know where I'm going the next time I'm north of the border. 
I am impressed by those who are able to build cakes, even frivolous ones. I'm not fooled into believing everything under that frosting and fondant is actually cake, but it does look like a lot of fun. If I could nominate someone as contestant on the Next Great Baker, I'd pick my sister in law Kim. She makes some pretty fancy looking cakes.PS. Hey, Betsy, that candy store in Ridgeway has a Facebook page and guess what? I asked them if they have Cadbury Flakes and they said, "We sure do!"
OMGosh!!!
ReplyDeleteRidgeway is so close to the cottage!!
We go there...when it rains...there is a cool antique/collectibles shop there...I think that Crystal Beach and Ridgeway are almost one in the same town!
Oh...I know for sure that we will meet next summer, Martha!
Enjoy your evening♥
Linda:o)
Yes, Linda, I think so too. :0)
DeleteWe've been in some of the shops up there too. I really, really wanted to make it this past summer and it just didn't happen. If my mom in law shows up after Christmas, there is no doubt we'll make a trip then. Her childhood friend still lives in Fort Erie.
DeleteYum, yum! I thought that place looked so neat and their desserts looked awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe're never quite sure where to go when we are up that way. This gives us something new to look for.
DeleteI am surprised that I did not know about these shows as I am a Food Network junkie. :)
ReplyDeleteNow you can enjoy Cake Boss and The Next Great Baker too.

Flakes are my Mum's favourite. We love them on pavlova since we have some very much non-fruit-eaters in our family. Pav with cream and flake - yum!
ReplyDeleteI found two Flake bars at a local grocery but I'm not so certain they were as fresh as they should be.
