| - What are the rules of the Bake Code? I have no idea, but I know that following the code results in some great baked goods!
Bake Code is a new bakery at Yonge and Sheppard that has been a long time coming in a busy neighbourhood that has been devoid of any quality bakeries. This bakery is a welcome addition as it offers good quality and interesting baked goods although (as mentioned in other reviews), the prices are slightly on the high side.
As mentioned on their website, Bake Code "combines traditional European baking techniques with Asian pastry recipes" and this combination makes for some delicious and interesting breads and pastries.
I have tried several items and have generally enjoyed everything I have tried. Among these items, there have been some outstanding hits (Earl Grey Tea Flute, Ham Crescent, Gangnam Star, Espresso bread) without any real disappointments. I thought the Mentaiko Baguette was a little weird as it is a "fish" flavoured bread, however my wife really enjoyed it. For those who are doubtful and like to be absolutely sure before they purchase their bread, there is the option to sample most of the breads before you commit to buying.
Since the bakery is new and there are no other alternatives in the vicinity, the place is usually quite busy, but the service is mostly efficient and definitely very friendly.
I was never aware that there was a particular "code" to follow when baking, but if the breads and pastries at Bake Code are any indication, following the rules of the bake code produces great results.
Highly recommended!
