I was on a cupcake tasting binge for a few months and tasted a couple of different bakeries a week. The Dessert Lady was unfortunately one of the last although it's one of the closest to my home. I simply didn't know about it being fairly new to Toronto. Anyways, I have tried the banana bread, brownies and a few different cupcakes. They were all delicious. The buttercream is a cooked Swiss meringue buttercream that is smooth, light and not too sweet. The cupcakes were moist and flavorful. The banana bread was so light and airy, I have never had one like it. I usually find banana breads to be dense and heavy, not at Dessert Lady.
My only small complaint, if it's even a complaint, is that the prices on cupcakes vary and some are $2.50 and others $3. This is typical pricing for Toronto where cupcakes in bakeries range from $2 to $4.25 (Cake Opera - ridiculous for what in essence is a fancy cupcake) but I do wish they were just all the same price and a 6 pack or dozen of any flavors were at a reduced fixed price.
I will definitely go here again and again and order cakes too.
