Few things in this world smell as good as a bake shop.
The aroma of freshly baked pastries can warm your heart during the coldest winters.
Paris has a reputation for baking some of the best pastries in the world, like croissants, macarons, éclairs, and more.
But what if we told you you could eat Paris’ best without buying a plane ticket?
Edmonton’s Duchess Bake Shop is like a trip to Paris.
The bake shop offers a variety of French pastries, and Alberta favourites like brownies and butter tarts.
Duchess uses only the highest quality ingredients, preservatives be damned! Everything is baked daily in-house from scratch.
Their pastry menu is long, varied and impressive.
We suggest spending time with the menu online before heading to the shop so you can narrow down your choices first.
Our favourites include the Bourbon Maple Pecan Tart, Mine Toffee Knot, and Sour Cream Cherry Pie.
Sour cream in a fruit pie might sound weird, but don’t knock it until you try it! The bake shop also sells baking ingredients, bakeware, and cookie kits for bakers.
Learn to Bake!
If you want to try your hand at baking, Duchess Bake Shop also offers baking classes at their teaching kitchen, Duchess Atelier.
Aspiring bakers can learn the secret recipes behind some of Duchess Bake Shop’s greatest hits while also learning to bake Christmas cookie boxes and gingerbread houses during the holiday season.
If you are looking for a more intimate baking class, Duchess Atelier also offers private lessons.
Everyone loves a good baker, so why not impress your friends and family by honing your baking skills?
If you prefer to eat first and ask your baking questions later, that’s okay, too.
Duchess Bake Shop makes sure you can enjoy the experience to the fullest with its cozy decor and charming lighting.
We would all like to escape to Paris this winter.
Duchess Bake Shop is the next best thing for those who can’t afford it.
Indulging in a decadent croissant while supporting a local business sounds like a sweet deal. Additionally, fewer opportunities exist to connect with people during the colder months.
Participating in baking classes is a great way to stay connected with your community and meet new people.
