Flour Power
One of the things that makes Toronto such a great city are the people who dedicate their passion, talent and energy to satisfying our stomachs. Those who make a "labour of love" out of not only feeding us, but by educating us on the possiblities of gastronomic delights.
Flourgirls are such a people. If you've ever begrudgingly attended an office party or baby shower, only to find yourself gleeful with delight over their oh-so-pretty cupcakes and cookies, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't...well, you might want to start fishing for an invitation.
These home-based bakers boast a menu with some really mouth-watering options (the boston cream cupcake is pure genius) but they will put together nearly anything your heart desires, from brilliantly decorated cookies to a unique cupcake-tree cum wedding cake. (And they will deliver to anywhere in the GTA, as to prevent any downtown favouritism).
I was recently wowed by their beautiful, buttercream-topped gourmet cupcakes, including one of my new favourites, the Lemon Zinger. Biting into these rich concotions took me back to being a kid, when calories (or fat or carbs) didn't mean a thing, but they also appealed to my foodie side with their gourmet persona.
This is what I love about Flourgirls (aside from the fact that they are truly baking masters): they bring fun, stophistication, creativity and style back into baked goods without an ounce of pretension. And the result (fresh from the oven) is pure yumminess.

Wonderful, Susy!
I am very proud of you because in a so bitter world you transform the love in sweet things.
Smashing! You have done it again Susy! Always doing something with your personally engineered joy that just illuminates from anything you get your hands on. Congrats to you and your partner. I am proud of you and behind you 100%. YOU GO GIRL.

If you haven't tasted a Flourgirls cupcake, you must. Not only are they amazingly delicious, they are as cute as can be and absolutely worth every bite. I'm still thinking about the hazelnut buttercream. Too bad the site doesn't have smell-o-vision.
Congrats, ladies.
Each cupcake, cookie or cake that is made by the skillful hand of Miss Susy is truly a delight to the senses, but most of all everything is made with LOVE - that's the extra ingredient you can't buy! Flour Girls - I am extremely proud of you! Congratulations and I wish you all the success in the world.
The icing on the cupcakes is like nothing I've ever tasted! It has that homemade taste that all other cupcakes are missing. Just sheer perfection!

One day I ate 3 of them 2 lemon and 1 chocolate. I find myself unable to say no and unable to resist. I sense that these girls are going to really make it in this business! Just hope my waist line makes it too. Really what I love about the cupcakes is the freshness of the cake itself. Tasty and not too sweet!
My mouth is watering... in fact it has been since I saw pictures on
flourgirls.com... but reading about the taste bud experiences of these
very fortunate peolpe has made it worse.
You wouldn't happen to deliver a little outside the GTA, like say maybe
GREECE?
Congratulations on your success flourgirls! Can't wait to try
them all!!!
hands down, the best cupcakes i've ever had - i've been making my way through their menu, and every one of them is fantastic!
Susy and the rest of the flour girls all i have to say is WOW. I had a cupcake and fell in love. It's absloutly delicious!! Congradulations and good luck.......
Kudos to the flourgirls Susy and Maria for delicious treats that are almost too pretty to eat - I said almost...Yummy!
flour girl's cupcakes are delicious, with lemon zingers being my personal favorite. In addition the cupckaes are presented wonderfully, and the service is fanatastic. Im hoping they can ship to nyc for my next party.
