Dessert Trends

I pass by the bistro almost everyday, yet I haven’t ever eaten there, but if you’re meeting Chef Don for wedding cakes, don’t go to the Bistro on Harbord Street! He meets appointments at this location.
We had an idea of what we wanted for cakes, and using our Pinterest board, he had a good sense of what we wanted. The bakery is very cramped, and the consultation is done on a small table near the window. He’ll bring out some cake samples from the fridge for you to try.
He’ll give you a price for the base cake, then additional price for the decoration that you want on it. They do some really nice sugar flower (looks almost real!) decoration, but they have a high price tag since it’s so labour intensive.
You’re looking at around $ 450 for a 3 tiered cake, with addition $ 100 – 200 depending on the decoration.
Compared with some of the others we’ve seen, this is quite $$$
The cake itself was okay tasting, a bit dense and very creamy. It sat in my tummy for a while. The serving size is 6oz. It’s larger than most, and basically when he tells you the cake serves 40 it actually will serve 80. But then other 3-​tiered cakes also serve 80 — But i’m so confused because all these places have different ‘serving sizes’ yet, it’s up to the discretion of the venue anyway! You can’t really standardize this, believe me, we’ve tried.
I can tell you it wasn’t my favourite of the 4 places we went. However, another friend of mine loved DT the best! So this is just my opinion!
There’s a delivery charge of $ 50.
