Bake Sale On the Kingsway

These are the sweetest people in the world.
They lovingly delivered 6 cupcakes to vendors of the Taste of the Kingsway in the cold pouring rain. They were delicious and beautiful. Much appreciated. Xoxo

They have the most wonderful selection of flavours! Also they then these mini cupcakes that are just the right size for a treat but don’t make you feel too bad about having them

Friendly staff and delicious treats! We were very happy with our son’s simple birthday cake, which they made exactly how we wanted it.

Oh, what a disappointment! I’ve admired their gorgeous cakes in the window for the 2 years since I moved into the neighborhood, but never had a reason to step inside until today. I wish I hadn’t!
I looked them up online before going, and saw that they offered both regular and gluten-​free cupcakes, which was what I was after for a small family birthday party. I also saw, to my great delight, that they were offering a special on January 19 – 21: buy 4 big cupcakes and get two free. Perfect!
On arriving at the shop, I ordered 6 regular cupcakes, and then asked about gluten-​free. I was told that they were available only on weekends — something not mentioned on the website. Disappointed, I took a gluten-​free brownie instead, though it’s not very birthday-​ish! The clerk also didn’t mention the 2-​for-​free deal, and I was afraid to ask, since I had already complained about the absence of the gluten-​free products advertised on their website, and I thought it was possible I was mistaken about the offer. When I looked it up at home, I was correct — but the clerk hadn’t offered it to me, and I paid for all 6 cupcakes.
The cupcakes themselves were a disappointment, too! The chocolate on chocolate ones were good — reasonably moist, rich, and very sweet. The birthday boy liked them, and that’s what they were for. But the coconut and lemon ones were stale! Actually stale! Hard as rocks! I was SOOOOO embarrassed to have to serve them. The gluten-​free brownie was also hard, dry, and devoid of any flavor other than sweet.
I suspect the offerings are good when they are fresh (hence, the good chocolate cupcakes) but beware of ordering anything that might not be moving very fast — it doesn’t seem that these are made fresh each day.

A friend’s brother got a carrot cake from here for his birthday and o.m.g. It was perfectly moist, not overly sweet and the frosting was delicious. I’ve gotten cupcakes from the location at Six Points and those were equally good. I’ll definitely be stopping by for the next celebration that calls for a cake!

So this place is a little out of my way, but when I’m around that area, I do like to pop in to either location.
There cupcakes are pretty good. Their vanilla ones are very flavourful, and I think if you can do vanilla right, then the rest will follow. The lemon is a little too sweet for me, as I am a lemon fiend! But their lemon squares are amazing — perfect lemon flavour.
I second some of the reviews that their square are truly their stars, but everything is good enough to go back for.
I find their prices pretty reasonable as well. A little less expensive than some of the ones right downtown.

Truly amazing baked goods! The cupcakes are fantastic with perfect frosting, their signature dessert for lack of a better term. I believe I’ve tried all of their cupcakes and cakes and they’re all amazing. Some personal favourites of mine are the lemon and strawberry ones. They also make one of the best chocolate cakes around. Some other recommendations would be: sour cream coffee cake muffin, lemon squares, date squares, and the fudge. You can’t go wrong with anything you buy here. The only downsides would be the atmosphere isn’t as cozy as I like bakeries to be, it’s more so clean and simple. The window displays are always fun though! The other downside is that some items are a little pricey, although you are paying for the exceptional quality, so it’s not so big of a deal. Next time you need to bring a treat somewhere you should stop by and get an assortment of different adorable mini cupcakes– they’re certain to delight people!
It’s a shame it’s not quite as good as when it first opened, it’s still excellent but it was truly beyond reproach in it’s early years. I’d give it 4 stars from my last few experiences, but it’s gonna get 5 from me due to taking the last few years into account.

My dad loves data square and thought it was fantastic! I thought the fudge was wonderful… very sweet like I love it.
The cupcakes were only average… a little dry… hence why the overall rating is a 4 not 5!
I live in a different part of Toronto and was shocked that you have to pay for parking EVERYWHERE.

Nice products — cupcakes are good tasting and very pretty. The lemon cake is delicious. Unfortunately staff often act as they are doing you a favour by taking your order and they are not very friendly over phone when placing orders. I usually try and avoid the attitude by just taking my chances and buying one of their ready-​made offerings, although the selection of ready-​made items is a lot less than what they showcase on their website.

The best cupcakes in the west end!!! Although the best cupcakes in Canada are in my opinion only found at Crave, Bake Sale on the Kingsway still has a good showing! They have divine mini cupcakes available — limited flavors, but the Red Velvet and the Carrot Cake are really yummy!!! They’ve been doing some neat things by introducing new mini products, like peanut melts (yum!!!) and chocolate dipped fudge cake morsels.
Definitely worth a stop to support the small guy if you’re in Etobicoke as you definitely can’t go wrong finding some delish treats at Bake Sale!

My friend has been raving about this place since she discovered it on her way to Humber Lakeshore. Her laments about the red velvet cupcakes were mouthwatering. Low and behold, when she brought me half a dozen mini cupcakes for my birthday I was pleasantly surprised that her reviews were spot on.
I can’t comment on the place itself, but the cupcakes are divine! Keep your fingers crossed you have an awesome best friend, or mission there yourself. Either way, the cream cheese frosting on these babies is wicked!

We used to live nearby and I loved stopping in here to pick up a sweet treat. I could spend forever there just looking over their selections. They have a chocolate peanut butter dream bar that is just to die for, and delicious lemon squares as well. Just writing this review makes me want to go back and pick up something delicious.

I’ve been shopping at the Bake Sale for a couple of years now. It is where I get most of the cakes for my staff birthday occasions. They have a small case with basic cakes, white cake, chocolate, carrot and lemon sweetheart. If you call ahead they will do inscriptions for you which is handy dandy. These cakes come in two different sizes and are quite reasonably priced. We’ve tried all four of the cakes and the consensus among my staff is chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Personally though, I love the Lemon Sweetheart cake. It is tart, like me. :)
I am of a mind though to say that the real great thing about The Bake Sale is their squares. They carry about a half dozen different kinds. Date Squares, Skor Brownies, Traditional Brownies, Lemon Squares, Pecan Squares… you get my drift. Squares are priced at about $ 2.50 each. They are thick, dense and a good size. What I do is buy a mixture and the quarter them up, sort of like Petit fours, and I’ll make up a platter of smaller squares. It is a great way to create a dessert platter of absolutely stellar baked goods.
There are also scones, cookies (try the Hermits, yum yum) and small loafs. During holiday seasons, including Valentine’s Day & Easter they make up these really cool packages of mixed up specialty cookies that are decorated accordingly. Prices range from $ 10 -$ 25. Oh yeah, they do cupcakes as well. Quite basic, vanilla, chocolate & strawberry and they offer them up in mini’s which I really like. A girl can only handle so much of that icing.

Bake Sale had a variety of baked goods to suit everyone, but in small quantities. Their white chocolate cranberry squares were delectable, and their skor bars were great. I tried to ask the staff for their recommendations, but didn’t get much feedback. The one girl did suggest the peanut butter kisses… they were okay, but I don’t think that it was their best product. Bake Sale’s cupcakes were okay… the cake is dense and a little dry, and I am not a fan of the sugary butter frosting. Also, they don’t have much of a cupcake selection (vanilla or chocolate only). I will definitely come back for the squares… yum.
