OMG OMG I finally went to the Duchess Bake Shop!!! I can't believe it. I first heard about this place around Dec 2010, and since then it has been half a year looking at pictures from urbanspoon or blogs or their website over and over again. And couple of times even drove by but couldn't quite find it because the winter was soo cold I just want to drive by to check out the place.
When we first entered the place, I'm in love with the decorations. I literally search for some more bakeries in Edmonton, but none have the same classy girly touch to it. It is beautiful! I love love the chandelier and the large white mirror. Even the chairs are cute as a button!
Then I'm overwhelmed by the number of selections they offer. Trust me, I've read about this place so many times, but being there to look at the selections I'm still sooo lost! Finally I decided to go for the mini Duchess cake ($6) which is the same name as their bakery. We also got pistachio and honey&tea macarons ($1.50 each). Everything served with the Duchess blend tea (black tea, $2.25). The treats weren't overly sweet and it tasted really good. Next time I want to try the Duke cake a richer chocolate version, thinking about it makes me excited :)
This will place definitely make a lovely tea time with your girlfriends.
