Dufflet-Beach (1917 Queen Street East) and neighbour Ella Minnow Children's Bookstore have teamed up to create a beautiful and awesome entry for the Beach BIA Sidewalk Chalk Contest.
Dufflet staffer Kylee created the art (with input from Ella Minnow's Yvette) because what could possibly be sweeter on the beach than delish snacks from Dufflet and cool reads from Ellaminnow?
If you're walking along Queen Street East, look down for more creations from area shops east of Woodbine.
Beach BIA reps will be judging the contestants tomorrow at noon, so wish us luck!

As some of you know, our Hazelnut Cakelet® made the news lately when she unintentionally got in the middle of some political shenanigans on the weekend.
On Sunday, the handsome reporters known as Robert Benzie and Rob Ferguson wrote a story for The Star called "Sousa crowned queen-maker at Ontario Liberal leadership convention" and casually mentioned our cakelet in the article.
Since then, some people on Twitter (and you know who you are) have suggested that Hazelnut Cakelet is responsible for the outcome of the vote and now Hazelnut Cakelet is feeling a little inadequate.
Alternating
layers of chocolate and hazelnut sponge cake with hazelnut buttercream
in between and then drenched with dark chocolate ganache - what else
could you want from a cake, people?
Turn away from the mirror, Hazelnut Cakelet, you're delicious just the way you are!

The great weather during the week inspired many of you to travel in packs to fulfill your mission to eat more cake, ride more bike ... we love it!
So far, the top ranking Tour de Dufflet snacks include Fresh Strawberry Tarts (a sweet pie shell painted on the inside with chocolate, filled with pastry cream and topped with fresh strawberries), Dufflet's dreamy Old Fashioned Date Bars and mini Butter Tarts with plump currants. There's a sweet reward to suit every taste, so grab a friend, grab a bike and take the Tour de Dufflet challenge.
One of the groups riding the tour on Friday was this one (shown here at our Queen West location) - seen here are Sean, Vanessa, Derek, Sibel, Miya and Sam fueling up for the final leg of the tour uphill to Dufflet on Yonge!
Back for it's 2nd sweet year, the Tour de Dufflet will run daily (except Mondays) throughout Toronto Bike Month from May 26 to June 25, 2009. Get a little exercise (and something sweet) by cycling to all 3 Dufflet locations. Registered participants will receive a souvenir, something sweet, and other goodies once their stamped passport is presented - the registration fee will be donated to charity!
How to participate? Simply choose one of Dufflet's 3 locations as your starting point. Register there, pick up your passport (and receive your first stamp) then continue the Tour by cycling to the remaining 2 locations. Once you have your 3rd stamp, turn in your passport to be eligible for the grand prize drawing at the end of Bike Month. It is not necessary to register in advance, just show up and begin the tour!
The registration fee of $5 will be charged on the day you ride your tour. With registration comes a nifty Dufflet shoulder bag and a map. From there you can cycle to the other two locations (in any order) to receive something sweet (or savoury) to nibble, and something to drink.
When you hand in your completed passport you will also receive a gift certificate as a reward for visiting all 3 Dufflet locations in one day (and on a bike!)

Dufflet Downtown: 787 Queen Street West (west of Bathurst)
