Foodology Disclaimer: I was invited as media to attend this event, but was not required to write about it. I decided to write about it to showcase the amazing bakers in Vancouver.
Indulge n Dance is an after dinner event featuring some of Vancouver’s up and coming pastry markers. The event was held at the W2 cafe and it provided a fun and relaxed atmosphere to snack on goodies and dance!
Seven bakers were featured during the night:
- Some Kind of Wonderful
- Guava Jelly
- The Pie Hole
- Yummy Workshop
- Hyggelig Bakery
- Kawaii Eats
- Rosy’s Bake Shoppe
In addition to the sweet treats of each baker, great 80s/90s dance music was played so the guests could dance off all the calories. I have to admit, I am not a fan of dancing, but the songs played gave me a sense of nostalgia.
Indulge n Dance was put on by Social Bites!
Pie Holes specialized in pies as indicated by their name. They have savory pies, sweet pies, and their pie pops. A double bacon cheese burger pie sounds might delicious right about now. You can order their specialty pies online!

Pina colada cupcake: pineapple cake, coconut custard, pineapple cream cheese icing
Unlike the usual cupcake, her creations are not too sweet. I usually avoid cupcakes, but with her cupcakes…I could eat a few in one sitting.
Some Kind of Wonderful is a home run cake decorating business owned by Kimberly. Kimberly is originally from Ontario, but decided to come to Vancouver to further her pastry adventures. She has a lot of experience and has a good eye for details.

For the event, she created a vanilla buttermilk cake pop coated in white Belgium chocolate & candied maple bacon. These cake pops were such a bit with the attendees that it was voted the best item of the night!
All the desserts were quite unique and scrumptious! I would highly recommend checking out these great bakers and they are really talented!
Indulge n Dance is a reoccurring event, so don’t worry if you missed this! The format may change a bit but the concept will be the same. For more information about Indulge n Dance, visit their website – indulgendance.com
