| - Yummy Stuff has a lot of mixed reviews on here and while I am a fan, I can understand why.
The merchandising in the bakery is lovely: lots of pretty frosted sugar cookies, a diverse array of cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and squares, and everything smells delicious. They have a cupcake of the month that seems to follow a vintage-inspired theme, which really suits the atmosphere of Parkdale. Another great thing is they have cakes you can buy off the shelf, which is great if you are heading off to a party or want something pretty to dress up your dessert table!
The baked goods can be hit and miss: the hits are AMAZING but the misses are really disappointing. Anything made with a red velvet theme is great-- the red velvet brownies are big, delicious, and a steal at $2. I've had great experiences with their cupcakes of the month, they are generally fresh and tasty. The large cakes are great too, simple, chic, and made-from-scratch. It's actually really difficult to find good cake you can buy off the shelf without pre-ordering. I've been victim to an unsavoury and dry cupcake here, but as people have stated, it's the vanilla and fruity type ones. Order what they do best, and you will not be disappointed!
I really don't think the prices are anything to complain about, yes, the cupcakes are a little under $3 a piece but they are very generous and filling. For a boutique bakery, it's pretty much the norm. Sure, go to Metro if you want something cheaper, but it's probably topped with gummy worms and cool whip.
