Today I am paddling my way to one of the most scrumptious spots in Winnipeg, Manitoba: Goodies Bake Shop!
Goodies Bake Shop, a beloved fixture in our cozy Winnipeg community, has a rich history dating back to 1984.
It was founded by passionate Ukrainians who understood that the secret to happiness lies in homemade treats.
In its early days, the shop’s lineup was filled with warm muffins and gooey cinnamon buns that could make even the grumpiest duck crack a smile.
But wait, here’s where things get interesting!
Five years after it opened its charming doors, a dashing professional hair stylist, Ignazio Scaletta, took a chance on this sweet venture.
With his involvement, Ignazio ignited a passion that had lain dormant since childhood.
Picture this: a 10-year-old Ignazio working at his father’s bakery in Italy, dreaming of whipping up delightful pastries before he floated to Canada in 1960.
In 1991, Ignazio bought out the partnership and transformed it into a fantastic Italian bakery, adding biscotti, cannoli, and even luscious gelato!
Talk about a treat makeover!
Fast-forward to 2001, Ignazio realized he needed more space to unleash his baking magic.
So he moved the bakery to its current cozy nook on Ellice Avenue
Now there is plenty of room for pastry perfection and plentiful parking for delightful visitors like you and me!
In August 2015, the bakery’s ownership transitioned to a fabulous trio: Dario, Maksym, and Linda.
The group was nervous but super excited to carry on the legacy of love-filled baking.
And carry it on they did!
Goodies Bake Shop has blossomed into a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike, showcasing a trove of artisanal goodies that pay homage to the good ol’ days of home baking.
Goodies Bake Shop is a treasure chest of baked delights!

Banana Cream Pie
The mini banana cream pie brings back childhood memories as I float in the tub!
Goodies’ version is a flawless combination of fresh bananas and creamy banana custard, topped with whipped cream and garnished with fresh banana slices and chocolate.
It’s comfort food at its finest, making you feel like you’re getting a warm hug.
Now, let’s chat about the a true Manitoba treasure called Schmoo!
This layered wonder has cake, cream, pecans, and a sweet caramel topping that creates pure bliss in every bite.
It’s so good that I swear I could swim in a pool of schmoo and be the happiest duck in the world!
