Toronto’s newest fandom-themed bakery opened their doors in West Queen West last week, and the owners are hoping to change the way you think about sweets — one geek-treat at a time.
The Grand Order of Divine Sweets (a.k.a. The GOoDS) is the brainchild of award-winning cake designer Sam Lapointe (from Cakes Cove fame) and video game vet Meridith Braun. The bakery offers everything from traditional coffee and tea to chocolate “tentacle” truffles, edible wearable suits of armor and life-size chocolate Star Wars droids. Imagine a sweet-treats version of The Lockhart — but instead of Harry Potter-themed cocktails, you can enjoy your very own Baby Yoda cake, complete with ethically sourced ingredients:
