After hearing a seemingly endless amount of good things, I made the trip to Tori's Bakeshop this past weekend to indulge my sweet tooth.
The vibe in the bakeshop is super relaxed and cute. I could definitely see myself whiling away the hours with a good book, coffee, and a delicious treat in the softly lit and cozy bakery.
I admit, I got so excited and overwhelmed by delicious looking choices that I forgot to double-check that the treat I purchased was gluten free! That being said, I'm not celiac and my GF lifestyle is by choice, so even if it was wheat-based I wasn't about to die from enjoying one of the cutest cupcakes I have ever seen. A mini Simpsons-esque doughnut on top of a cupcake! You're killing me with cuteness, Tori!
All parts of the cupcake were delicious! The icing was soft and fluffy, and the cake was moist and flavourful without being overpoweringly sweet. I didn't feel overstuffed or bloated after enjoying this treat, and that's a big plus for me. You know when you eat a really rich dessert and you get the "sugar sweats." No sugar sweats for me. Just satisfaction.
Tori's is a bit of a hike, but I will definitely be back when my sweet tooth is begging for attention.
