Since we’re no Martha Stewart, we’re leaving it up to these five bakeries and cafes to satiate our sweet tooth.
Beard Papa’s
The fist-sized cream puffs here are injected with custard and whipped cream flavours like vanilla and green tea.

Acme Cafe
The main courses are deliciously decadent, as are the baked goods at the counter. (We recommend the homemade brownie.)
Acme Café; 51 W. Hastings St.; 604-569-1022; www.acmecafe.ca
Bonchaz Bakery Cafe
Our obsession comes in the form of these milk bun hybrids of Mexican concha and French brioche.
Bonchaz Bakery Café; 426 W. Hastings St.; www.bonchaz.ca
Ganache Patisserie
Paris isn’t the only place for macaroons – they come in packages of four here (lemon, strawberry, chocolate and coffee).
Ganache Patisserie; 1262 Homer St.; 604-899-1098; www.ganacheyaletown.com
Dulcinea Chocolate Cafe
Forget the dry churros at Rogers Arena—the el chocolate con churros is the real deal at this café.
Dulcinea Chocolate Café; 1118 Denman St.; 604-689-2699; www.dulcineachocolatecafe.com
