Bobbette & Belle, a collaboration between Allyson Meredith Bobbitt (of Allyson Meredith Cakes) and Sarah Bell (former head pastry chef at Canoe), is a new bakery specializing in French macarons. The decadent almond meringue cookies—which cost $2 each, plus more for packaging—are filled with chocolate ganache or butter cream and are available in flavours such as passionfruit, pecan, espresso, caramel, vanilla, peanut butter, and raspberry. A pearl finish can be dusted onto the cookies, and hand-painted monograms can be added for an additional cost. Four custom packaging options are available, and custom gift tags can be created to include corporate logos and colours. A minimum order of $300 is required, and a delivery charge of $75 is applied to all orders within the Greater Toronto Area. Bobbette & Belle also offers macaron towers in a variety of sizes
as an addition to a dessert table.
![For the after-party, Event Eleven built three 30-foot pagodas and hung 300 lanterns from the ceiling. They also brought in a 20-foot-tall bonsai tree and a variety of 30-foot red maples, along with other greenery and foliage. '[It all] helped create the organic atmosphere and helped transport guests into a gardenlike room,' said Schubert.](https://img.bizbash.com/files/base/bizbash/bzb/image/2024/02/Shogun.41_f.65dba8f23433b.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
