Perfect Pie?

The latest Village Post arrived on my doorstep recently containing an article awarding first place Toronto pie honours to Frangipane's giant berry tart.

A tiny-ish but elegant space at 215 Madison on the corner of Dupont, Frangipane also has been named Toronto's best patisserie by NOW magazine.

The cost of quality can be high -- the pie is $30, for instance -- but this is a good place to keep in mind when ordering a custom wedding cake, for instance.

Also, if you occasionally desire a break from a low-cal, low-fat, tasteless diet, a real pastry is much more satisfying than, say, a slice of cake made with lard icing from an in-store deli.
Don't believe me about the lard icing? What DID you think was in that hot pink trim, anyway? :) Look it up!

Cheers,
Vanessa
