Pastries from Bobbette and Belle

If you're looking for exquisitely made cakes, French macarons almost too delicate to eat, or cupcakes decorated with English rose gardens in mind, then you will have come to the right place at Bobbette and Belle Artisanal Pastries. Toronto's very own pâtisserie du jour has been praised by the likes of WedLuxe and House&Home magazine, and is easily one of the top patisseries in Canada. The owners, Allyson Bobbitt (Bobbette) and Sarah Bell (Belle), came together as fate would have it, to open this gem of confectionery delight, and have never looked back.

I had the pleasure of interviewing them at their shop in Toronto on Queen St. East, where we talked about everything from French macarons, to fashion! Take a look...




Allyson Bobbitt showed me how to decorate a cupcake by shaping buttercream frosting into a flower - leaves and all. I must say, if you have the necessary frosting tip and piping bag, you can really frost your own cupcakes like a pro! Learn how by watching the video below...



Brides-to-be, you won't need to look much further than Bobbette and Belle for the perfect wedding cake. An otherwise miserable afternoon will be filled with delight upon opening a box of their signature French macarons. And their cupcakes... You can never go wrong with flowers made of buttercream frosting.
