The
High
Tea
Bakery
is
a
Winnipeg
treasure.
I
have
a
weakness
for
fine
pastry
and
have
been
lucky
enough
to
indulge
in
the
most
sophisticated
afternoon
teas
and
the
best
patisseries
in
London,
Paris,
New
York,
Chicago,
San
Fransisco,
Vancouver
and
Montreal.
High
Tea
Bakery
in
Winnipeg
easily
rivals
the
masters.
Their
lemon
tarts
feature
tangy
lemon
sweetness
nestled
inside
impossibly
delicate
pastry.
Their
pretty
macarons
are
fresh,
chewy
and
bursting
with
flavour.
They
feature
a
variety
of
extraordinary
cookies
including
their
signature
raspberry
and
almond
flavoured
“Imperials.”
Their
decorated
special
occasion
cookies,
like
their
Christmas
cookies,
are
stunning
works
of
art
so
beautiful,
it’s
almost
a
shame
to
eat
them.
But
even
among
these
superb
High
Tea
classics,
one
special
confection
stands
out:
the
petit
four
is
a
superstar.
Petit
fours,
tiny
little
cakes
individually
wrapped
in
fondant,
are
as
difficult
to
make
as
they
are
to
find
for
purchase.
High
Tea’s
petit
fours
are
extraordinary.
They
use
tender
white
cake
infused
with
a
layer
of
either
lemon
or
raspberry
filling,
enveloped
in
rich
fondant
and
embellished
with
elegant
decorative
touches.
These
are
not
just
the
best
petit
fours
in
Winnipeg,
they
are
the
best
petit
fours
ANYWHERE
(they
are
also
often
the
only
petit
fours
in
Winnipeg).
These
delicate
jewels
are
just
exquisite.
