Bakery: The Rolling Pin Bakery
Address: 821E 6th Ave, Hope BC 
Website: facebook
Style: Canadian 
Price: $$ 

I'll admit this bakery in Hope didn't look that special from the start: cakes and cupcakes with a lot of icing, cookies, doughnuts. Prices were normal. Doughnuts a dollar something, buns around $3-4. I'd call it your typical Canadian bakery, but they ended up being one of the best bakeries we tried in BC. Actually, THE best bakery we tried.
The first reason was the cinnamon bun. This was the best cinnamon bun and deserves to compete at national level. Amazing icing, perfect dough, and the right proportion of cinnamon. This bun was "effing awesome"!
So was the apple fritter for that matter. This thing was the bomb. Just like it should be: fried and glazed with good apples. I'd say both the apple fritter and cinnamon bun were, hands down, 5/4.
The last thing was a mini pineapple crunch. This was something different and why I took it. It had a hard sugar top (the kind you find on Canadian-style strudels) with pineapple chunks and cream. It was alright, but I think I should have stuck to the classics.
