This year, instead of getting one big birthday cake, I asked to go to Thierry Chocolates instead to get a couple treats. Thierry had always been on my list and since we’re gonna be in the area anyways after dinner at Verre, why not?! Thierry is quite roomy with seats instead and a sort of heated patio […]
This is Part 13 of our New York Food Adventures! Check out the rest here! One of our New York food goals was to have bagels. Unfortunately for me, since there was just so much to eat, I was only able to try out one place and that was Chelsea Bagel & Cafe which was around the […]
This is Part 7 of our New York Food Adventures! Check out the rest here! The day before our friend’s wedding in New York, the bride organized a girl’s brunch at Balthazar Restaurant in SoHo.

I took the reins and picked out 3 doughnuts- from the bottom: Mango Passion Bismarck($3.50), Pistachio Glazed […]
Vancouver now has its very own L’Éclair de Génie boutique and I couldn’t be happier!! I first tried eclairs from L’Éclair de Génie on a family trip to Paris and fell in love. They are presented artistically and each and everyone of them were so beautiful that it was actually hard for us to choose just […]
It was my pup Tormund’s (as in Tormund Giantsbane…you know?? Game of Thrones??) 2nd birthday yesterday and I splurged on a doggy birthday cupcake for him this year. I’m not a pet spoiler and I don’t usually give him treats so this was special for both him and I. I went to a local pet […]
I forgot where I read about Cake’Ya. It’s a tiny little operation located in Port Moody that makes a small selection of Japanese (Okinawan) goodies. Small selection but each type of goody comes in an assortment of flavors. Easter Sunday we decided to have a relaxing day and head to Rocky Point Park. On the […]
