Biz X Magazine January 2022 Vol 25 Issue 1

ON THE COVER — SWEET TALK — 18. Even though pandemic restrictions are still affecting certain types of businesses, Essex County residents are returning to some of their old habits. And instead of baking at home, they are picking up their tasty baked treats at local bakeries. Whether it’s a favourite bakery operating for many years, or a shop new to the baking scene, there’s no shortage of places to satisfy that sweet tooth.

COVER LOCATION: Lakeside Bakery Deli Café, 286 Erie Street South, Leamington has a wide variety of sweet treats to ring in 2022, each day of the year! Bread and Pastry Manager Jordan H. is surrounded by just a few of the delights the bakery can provide including: a strawberry Romanoff torte, assorted party cakes, pumpkin pie, lemon meringue pie, almond raspberry pie, cupcakes, brownies, assorted macaroons, croissants, cookies, cherry bombs, éclairs, custard squares, cannoli, and mini cheesecakes.
