Our beloved editor-in-chief Lou Clancy has recently decided to trade in his blackberry for bass fishing. Lou! I know how much you love to fish! And I also happen to know how much Lou enjoys a good piece of delicious chocolate. So — what to do? Combine the two in a delicious cake that resembles fresh catch. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought — I just picked up the phone and ordered from Swirls cupcake shop in Etobicoke, where I had recently spotted cakes in the shape of everything from running shoes to purses, hat boxes and other neat stuff – read more

From www.spotlighttoronto.com:
Small town charm aside we really loved Swirls for its old school charm and delicious cupcakes. Even the cookies tasted great. A few customers came in to order a few paninis. Chuck, the owner, says they’re very popular along with the various flavours of gelato. Some couples even come in to sample and discuss wedding cakes. Chuck originally hails from New York, the east coast chapter of the cupcake craze.
There are times in taste testing where we’ve felt the need to scrape the roofs of our mouths to get rid of the oily buttercream aftertaste, but not with Swirls. Buttercream can taste good, and at Swirls it comes in various forms of light. Some even taste like whipped cream.
Spotlight Says: “Cupcake gastronomy aside, I think we found our most popular flavour is the mango cupcake because of its natural taste. Swirls takes real ingredients and makes delicious cupcakes that are the most three dimensional in taste yet. You taste sugar, followed by cocoa and any fruit that has been added into the mix.”
