Bronze Winner Susie’s Shortbreads, Halifax

Cupcakes and wedding cakes are the name of the game at Barrington Street’s dessert boutique, Layers. The challenge? Most of the time these sweets are almost too pretty to sink your teeth into. But only almost. Whether you’re ordering a dozen for a birthday, bachelorette or for no good reason other than you want to, flavours like chocolate ganache, lemon raspberry, salted caramel and carrot cream cheese make for temptation, enjoyment and repetition.
