Bobbette & Belle is a female-founded-and-owned, upscale bakery that began with a fateful macaron. After Allyson Bobbitt and Sarah Bell had won a national award for wedding cake design and worked as the pastry chef at Canoe, respectively, they collaborated on a magazine shoot (featuring macarons) and knew they could make their love and skills, for and in the patisserie realm, into something special. Now, the Bobbette & Belle bakeshop produces cupcakes, cakes, pies and cookies for everything from a midday sweet treat moment to a custom-designed wedding cake, Bobbette & Belle’s specialty. Of course, the bakery is still making wonderfully flavoured macarons and has macaron towers available for special occasions. It caters customized goodies for corporate events and has both signature and customizable cakes in fun shapes, like a quilted Chanel handbag or jockey cap.
