Flour Bakeshop

This bakery is barely a toddler at a mere seven month old, yet, like for most celebrities, youthful fun-and-games is a treasure easily lost forever. The Flour Bakeshop was pushed into the spotlight almost immediately after its establishment in West Vancouver, but there was no stage-mom – this baby did it all on her own; she has the looks and the talent, and now the mom-and-daughter duo running the show have to work work work to keep up with the high demand that took them by surprise and swept them off their feet (in this case, kept them on their feet) instantaneously and continuously.



"I start baking between 5 and 6 am and work for anywhere between 10 and 15 hours a day," said 25-year-old Christine Morse as if she were talking about breathing. And she means every day. Except Sunday – I mean, seriously, this girl has got to sleep sometime. She has been cooking her whole life, from around the house and helping out in kitchens of local eateries in her hometown of Bowen Islands as a kid, to eventually taking the Baking and Pastry Arts Program at Dubrulle Culinary Arts in Vancouver. Right after graduation, she headed on to work at the Wedgewood Hotel, which she said was a really good experience, and then Meinhardt fine food – both of which places she baked.
