Evil Cinnamon Buns

Evil.

Really.

There's a bakery on the North wall of the Downsview Farmer's Market in the section with the actual produce. I wasn't so impressed by the looks of most of what she had, but the Cinnamon buns were wicked good. Not ooey-gooey and overly sweetened, but rich and doughy and cinnamony. Totally excellent, and still warm when she served them.

    have you been to bliss on queen st east?

    stopped by randomly one day on a croissant tour and couldn't decide what to try so grabbed a sticky bun at $1.50 a piece. good sized portion but rather than dense bready dough it was chewy and airy and delicious! it wasn't overly sweet or tooo sticky because of the sugar and a nice layer of crispy sugar had formed on the bottom. served warm it was fantastic with hints of spice. curious how the two compare, after having these i prefer them much more to the usual.

      Nope, but that sounds good, too!
