The Queen of Tarts is a local pastry shop in the Roncesvalles neighbourhood of Toronto with a stellar reputation for tarts, cookies and tasty nibbly bits. One of their specialties are handmade gingerbread people, done up as characters and celebrities. I popped in Sunday to find a whole set of Trailer Park Boys, complete with icing mullets and a rum and coke in Julian's hand. I love the expression on Gingerbread Bubbles, I can just hear him say "Not my @!#'n gumdrop buttons!"

Chomp on a cookie-devil, give a loved one a Gingerbread Don Cherry or bring a Gingerbread Martha Stewart as a host/hostess gift at the next party. The bride and groom cookies make creative bonbonieres. Check out here for a selection of cookies and drop in at the shop to see rotating celebs. Past ones have included a Michael Jackson with chimp and baby, and a set of the women from Sex In The City.
