It was the time of the day when Kensington Market begins to bustle, as Cora DeVries, baker at Miss Cora's Kitchen, and I sat down outside her bakery to speak about her experiences as a baker, future endeavours, and the success that she's had in selling portable, staple goodies in the Market.

Stepping into Bobette and Belle on Queen East is like entering a sweet-smelling haven. The shop has been famed for its macarons and decadently decorated cakes. Owners and masterminds Allyson Bobbitt and Sarah Bell (who vow to never interview separately,) recently sat down with me to unveiI their histories and philosophies in the kitchen.

A true Toronto homebody, Kyle Marsh has been working as a baker in the city since his teenage years. His success at Clafouti is evidenced by their goods disappearing completely--that is, selling out--on most days long before the shop closes. He sat with me to speak about his history in baking, and shared some secrets from the kitchen.

As the Tuesday afternoon Appletree Farmer's Market at Mount Pleasant came to a close, I met with Cynthia Pacheco just outside her self-made cupcake kitchen truck. Five weeks into the business, she is selling out of cupcakes regularly and maintaining a strong fanbase that follows her wherever her Curbside Bliss Cupcake truck may go.

Tori Vaccher's lovely and eponymous bake shop, Tori's Bakeshop, is a great spot for vegan and gluten-free treats in the Beaches. A flat tire while searching for vegan marshmallows didn't stop Tori from getting back to the shop to meet with me, and talking about her baking inspirations and new creations.

Paulette's Original Donuts and Chicken might be known mainly for its eponymous, and rather narrow, menu items, but fortunately, they're baked perfectly each time.

This week, I sat down with Graham Bower, one of the masterminds behind the new Paulette's Original Donuts and Chicken - who is also the chef at Delica Kitchen - to discuss his history in the food world and his recent baking ventures. He shared some prized donut-making secrets, as well as some actual donuts! Needless to say, deliciousness ensued.
