There is apparently a real bakery on Manitoulin Island, but it was closed and leaving the island without having any sort of Cake Tour stop was unthinkable, so I decided to pop into Loco Beanz. Loco Beanz is a local coffee shop chain with three locations around Manitoulin Island that serves coffee along with hot breakfasts, light lunches, and a very few -- as in three or four -- baked goods.

 Stopping to grab something, I thought that the strawberry cheese danish would go well with my drink. It was alright with soft, slightly flaky dough, runny jelly and nice cheese, but the glaze drizzled on top tasted old and cracked off, and despite it saying homemade, there was something quite generic about it. So, in the end, maybe it wasn't the best Cake Tour, but the most important thing is that it was a Cake Tour; next time around, I'll get the real deal!
