With the weather getting cooler, its the perfect time to heat up your oven to get baking! Or if youd rather just eat baked goodies, come and support your local bakers at the Bakers Market in Vancouver.

If you have a ‘sweet tooth’, this is the place for you. You’ll find talented budding, professional or home bakers selling freshly baked artisanal breads, German pretzels, French macarons, croissants, gourmet cookies, hand made chocolates, brownies, Belgian Liege waffles, cupcakes, cake pops, scones, organic muffins, gluten-free, vegan baked goods, preserves, tarts and much more!
It is a gathering of professional, amateur, student & Mommy bakers who get together to buy and sell their baked goods to the community. Inspired by farmers markets (no veggies please), just lots of sweet & savoury baked goodies.
