Padaria

Brazilian treats are the specialty at this bakery by Yonge and Eglinton. The Charlotte cakes are the main attraction, with decadent toppings like churros with doce de leite. A chocolate cake with brigadeiro is a must.

Amadeus Patisserie

It’s easy to recognize the picturesque designs from this bakery with multiple locations, including the original on Bathurst Street. Baking visual treats that are equally tasty, these perfectly glassy cakes look more like art gallery pieces. Plus a number of these cakes are gluten-free.

DaanGo Cake Lab

The Midland Avenue outpost of Daan Go specializing in cakes always has incredible new designs ready to go. Seasonal creations vary but there are mind-boggling signatures like a durian-shaped Gold Thorn or cake topped with Chef Siu’s must-try macarons.

Little Pebbles

This subtle Japanese bakery in Kensington offers three signature cakes, all delicious and beautiful. The strawberry shortcake looks straight out of a picture book, while the chiffon cake is the black sesame dessert of your dreams.

Shirini Sara Pastry House

This Leslie Street bake shop has been a staple in the Persian community since 1991. The toot marzipan cakes are classic, taking the Iranian mulberry sweet and turning it into cakes that come in pomegranate, vanilla, chocolate or blueberry.

Duo Patisserie

The black forest cakes from this bakery on Commerce Valley Drive East are not to be missed. Chocolate sponge is soaked in kirsch, placed atop chocolate sable and topped with kirsch santilly. There are several equally intricate options for sale.

Amico Bakery

A long list of Italian desserts and pastries from Amico include glorious caramello cake topped with chantilly cream and Pastiera Napoletana. But the easy highlight of this Dufferin bakery are the tiramisu cakes, lined with espresso-dipped Pavesini biscuits.
