walnut cakes... Right next to the Ichiban on Spring Garden is a shop called Canaan Bakery. It is a Korean owned store that sells little Korean Walnut Cakes. These are little round walnut pastries that are like a Korean Style Timbit! They are sweet and have fillings such as redbean paste and custard.
A bag of around 20 costs $5. They aren't especially cheap at this location, although from what I remember, there is a place in Korea Town on Bloor, across from Honest Ed's that sells them for cheaper I think. They also came in boxes at that place rather than pre-packaged bags. Either way, these walnut cakes still taste awesome, they are a tasty dessert that can go with a coffee, but like most Asian pastries, they are aren't as sweet as things like donuts or biscottis from starbucks. We had a bag of the custard filled walnut cakes after eating a tasty Chirashi meal from Ichiban next door, and between three people destroyed the entire bag within a few minutes. There is also a place that sells the walnut caked in the "Heritage Town" on the second floor of Pacific Mall. Canaan Bakery is located at 11 Spring Garden Ave. in North York.
