Review from Angelo T.
6/19/2011
I needed to bring something for a work potluck so I decided to make a quick trip to the nearby Farmer's market.
There was already a lot of food being brought, so I decided a post-feast treat would hit the spot, so when I saw Yum Bakery, I picked up a set of chocolate covered strawberries and a few macaroons to go along with it. I also decided to treat myself by picking up lemon possett. In honesty, I'm a little irked about the price, but in fairness, it's the farmer's market, not the superstore bulk bin section.
The possett was awesome. I could never get the creamy consistency right in my own attempt to create it, but this had a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and creamy.
How was the strawberries and maccaroons? Well I WOULDN'T KNOW because I zonked out and forgot to set some aside for me to try and they were all gone the next day @ the potluck. Savages...the world is filled with savages -

Yum Bakery is a vendor in the Calgary Farmers Market which is 510-77th AVE SE just south of Blackfoot.
Alright, this review is solely on the macarons at Yum Bakery. They have many baked goods, bread, cakes, macarons, pies...etc. that look quite delicious. They have a nice display with cakes, bars and macarons that first caught my eye. I decided to get a 6 macarons to try because I've been craving them since I tried M for Macaron so I went with: Raspberry, Vanilla Cappucino, Pistacio, 2 salted caramel and peppermint chocolate. They also have other flavours like orange, oreo, coffee... The display probably changes but thats just what they offered the day I visited.
I didn't eat the macarons immediately because I know they're best served when taken out of the fridge and sitting at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
After the market, on our drive back I decided to give one a try. I tried the salted caramel one. At first bite it was crumbly and hard. It seemed overbaked. I thought that was a fluke so later in the day I tried the pistacio one but same texture! Hard, chewy and crumbly. The filling just tasted like butter in all of them, no WOW factor for me. So pretty much after trying M for Macaron at the Kingsland Farmers Market, I thought Yum Bakery would measure up but it didn't at all. Macarons should taste like the flavor listed, have an airy fluffy tastful bite.
BUT! like I said, this review is solely on macarons...I haven't tried the other goods but seeing the line they had, other things besides the macarons are probably much better!
