The GOODS from Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe

Vancouver, BC | The sister-brother duo behind Beaucoup Bakery (2150 Fir Street) is drawing on their Chinese heritage for inspiration this Lunar New Year with the launch of several new limited-edition croissants and cookies. In addition, Betty Hung continues her chocolate love affair with new heart-shaped bonbon creations for Valentine’s Day.

“This year, although Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day are on the same weekend, they are unique on their own, so we definitely wanted to create treats to honour each celebration,” says Betty, who co-owners Beaucoup Bakery with her brother Jacky Hung. “For Lunar New Year, we are using a lot of Asian ingredients, such as sesame, walnuts, and mochi, as well as a croissant take on our favourite peking duck! We are thrilled to collaborate with our friends at Chinatown BBQ. For Valentine’s Day, think chocolate hearts, molten cakes, and more.”

Beaucoup Bakery’s Lucky 88 Collection is available for pre-orders online. It comes in a bundle for $50.88 with two red pockets with golden chocolate feves and features:

– A Lunar New Year Cookie Tin with 18 pieces in a 7” gold colour tin filled with brown butter walnut cookies, sesame toffee cookies, and genmaicha almond butter cookies made with Paragaon Tea Room’s premium tea powder
– A savoury Chinatown BBQ Peking Duck Croissant made of pulled duck, hoisin sauce, scallions, truffle sauce and honey
– A Pandan Mochi Pistachio Croissant with coconut pandan mochi, pistachio frangipane, and garnished with gold flakes, pistachios, and pandan powder

Chocolate is at the heart of Betty’s Valentine’s Day Collection. Using premium French Valrhona chocolate, she has created a variety of new chocolate art for the day of love. Available for pre-order online, sweet treats include:

– Heart-Shaped Bonbons ($25; 9 piece box), Valentine’s Day flavours are hazelnut passionfruit, raspberry lychee, and lavender honey
