AWESOME THING WE ATE #862: Canadian Maple Bacon Sticky Buns At Cadeaux Bakery

The gals down at Cadeaux Bakery are about to make your weekend. Eleanor Chow and Slavita Johnson read our appeal for bacon cinnamon buns and they (bless them) decided to come back with a kick-ass response. They’re now making Canadian Maple Bacon Sticky Buns. Peel away the outer ring and find a tasty strip of bacon within. Freakin’ mmmmm is right! Don’t expect to pick one up for a late afternoon snack, because these bad boys are going to sell out lickity-split. Psst! The best time to score is around 10am, when they’re still warm.
