Montreal’s Cookie Mosaic

Montreal, mon amour! This city isn’t just a place I call home, it’s a constant source of inspiration for my cookie creations. With its historic charm, every corner of this dynamic city sparks ideas for delicious treats.

Did you know Montreal’s French roots trace back to the 1600s, when it was founded as Ville-Marie in colonial French Canada? That rich heritage is still evident today. Inhale the tasty buttery croissants from charming cafes, like Provenance. Stroll through Old Montreal, where history unfolds on well-worn streets. Not forget to mention the  buildings whisper tales of a bygone era. No wonder Hollywood loves to film here!

Montreal is much more than just a museum piece, though. It’s a pulsating, diverse city brimming with life. During the holidays, the Atwater Christmas Market transforms into a dazzling wonderland. Captivating visitors with twinkling lights, festive decorations, and of course, irresistible treats. Another famous Holiday activities is the Nutcracker Ballet Performance at Place-Des-Arts. Me, I create a cookie to highlight this show last year. The creative possibilities are endless!

Speaking of art, Montreal boasts world-class museums like the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. One afternoon, while enthralled by a Picasso exhibit, I found myself inspired to create cookies adorned that echoed the artist’s abstract style.

“On parle français!” (“We speak French!”) is a common phrase that adds a touch of romance and elegance to the city. This unique linguistic heritage finds its way into my cookie designs as well. Picture delicate piped messages in French fondant. There are so many ways to celebrate Montreal’s French flair!

From its vibrant energy to its rich history and cultural tapestry, Montreal infuses every cookie I create. Each bite is a delicious ode to this city that holds a piece of my heart. So next time you see a maple leaf cookie or a delicate croissant-shaped treat, know that it’s a tribute to the beautiful mosaic that is Montreal.
