The Tempered Room

Surprise!
We're not quite fully out yet, but peeking from the bushes atcha.

We would say mark your calendars. But it's tomorrow. Tomorrow May 11th we will be making a slightly variegated re-appearance at the gorgeous Toronto Botanical gardens for their Mother's Day Palooza.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve raised, propagated, and potted hundreds of lovely houseplants of all sizes. And man are we done with these fussy Aroids. Jk jk. House botany is now our side birch. Here if you need to know anything about seducing tropicals.

Alongside we will be offering:

Mothers day choux box $18
4 choux aux crèmes. Flavours:
Mousse au chocolat - honeysuckle honeycomb
Strawberry fraisier - hibiscus marzipan
Paris brest - birch and maple hazelnut
St. Honore - orange blossom caramel

Strawberries and Chocolate - $10
Luscious spindled fresh red fruit, each a juicy find, paired with melted chocolate ambrosia

Chocolate Terrariums - individual $12/ Planter (Approx 13"x 2") $48
Our obsession with colonial pastry combined with botanical reverence. Each bite represents a different French dessert, cultivating a patisserie garden within a tempered chocolate encasing. Flavours: Opera, Mont Blanc, Frasier, Paris brest, St. Honore

Wild Herb Quiche:
$8 (indv.) and $24 (3-4)
Portabello and porcini, caramelized fennel, parmesan, thyme, tarragon - Truffle it up, optional, no cost

Harrass [email protected] to get some for tomorrow, or just DM to check stock before heading over. Not that we will be the highlight of the event, have you guys picnicked at Edward Gardens yet? It's STUNNING.

Pick up is also possible May 12th , but without our pop up in effect.

Ok back to the oven. It's been an era but this feels SO natural. See you on our stories! We will take a gorgeous picture of anyone attending tomorrow for our Sunday highlights ♥️🍉

Now that everyone is all nice and snowed in...
