Core offering

Ganache Patisserie is an artisan French pastry bakery in Vancouver's Yaletown neighborhood that handcrafts and sells signature cakes, French pastries and confections, beverages, and bespoke wedding and custom celebration cakes. The bakery sells directly to consumers through its physical shop and via online custom order forms, with wedding cake delivery available across Metro Vancouver. Production uses French techniques with West-Coast and Asian influences and Cacao Barry chocolate from France.

Product overview

Ganache Patisserie is a single-location French pastry bakery and wedding cake atelier in Vancouver's Yaletown neighborhood. The company operates as a unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. Its product portfolio consists of five interconnected offerings: Signature Cakes (individual desserts and small-format cakes), Pastries & Confections (croissants, French pastries, and cookies made in-house daily), Beverages (specialty coffee and teas paired with baked goods), Wedding Cakes (bespoke tiered cakes with consultation and delivery services), and Custom Cakes (special occasion cakes built to client specifications). The company was founded in 2003 by pastry chef Peter Fong and is distinguished by its use of French techniques with West Coast and Asian influences, and its primary chocolate ingredient from Cacao Barry.
