Toronto’s Best Pumpkin Spice Delights

Nice 'N' Cheesy

This cream cheese–filled, caramel-topped bun is McEwan’s favourite of the bunch. “I love cream cheese frosting. It has a nice balance and moisture level.”

It's Hip To Be Square

In addition to having the most dramatic pumpkin spice flavour of all the desserts, McEwan says this pumpkin pie square is “nicely creamy. It has good base. It’s a nice combination.”

Raising The Bar

McEwan praises this bar’s sweet crumble and says it has “a good moisture level and good spice.” He also likes the treat’s texture.

Cupcake Craze

This cupcake was moist, with “an attractive presentation,” according to McEwan. He also says it has a good pumpkin spice flavour to it.

Fresh-Baked Pop Tart

This classic breakfast/anytime favourite re-imagined for the fall season. Its pumpkin filling is “creamy and nicely spiced,” says McEwan. “It’s a fun version of 1965 for me.”

Take A Loaf Off

McEwan says that this  loaf is “a little more to the savoury side, which is nice. I like that.” He also thinks it would be an excellent base for decadent pumpkin spice French toast.

Sweet Tart

With a great crust and excellent filling, McEwan says this tart is a success. He says it has a “nicely balanced, softer and more subtle pumpkin spice flavour.”
