CONGRATULATIONS TO MICHELLE V. THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
Unusual edible delights fascinate us. Delicious things delight us. When we learned about Tina Bacon and The Pink Spatula, life was fairly exciting 
Tina is a very talented local pastry chef whose sweet business began in early 2009 , and we are excited to introduce you to her!
Tina has had a passion for baking since she was a young girl. It had always been a hobby, supported by her friends and family. It wasn’t until two life changing events, leaving a job she’d been at for years followed by serious treatments for a life threatening disease, that Tina turned this hobby into a passion-fueled career. Watching Tina bake is extraordinary – she actually smiles while she’s creating! It’s fantastic to see this survivor doing something she absolutely loves and, by the way, totally rockin’ it!!!
One of our favourite Tina-creations is her handmade marshmallows. An absolutely perfect holiday hostess gift, these things will melt in your mouth. From toasted coconut to creme de menthe, holiday spice, ancho chilies or liquer-soaked fruit, The Pink Spatula specialty marshmallows are available in some delectable flavours. Imagine a creme de menthe mallow topping a latte or hot chocolate, or savouring a toasted coconut marshmallow which is a delight on its own. No artificial flavours or colourings are added to these delicious delights – only fruit, pure vanilla, ground spices and sometimes a liqueur. Find these marshmallows at City Blends Coffee & Tea House in Mission, Well Seasoned in Langley and at next weekend’s Shed Row Market.
Also available at Well Seasoned are Tina’s frozen cookie doughs. The cookies are already moulded and prepared – you literally just thaw, bake, et voila – perfect cookies! Dark Chocolate Sour Cherry Pecan, Lemon Black Pepper Shortbread log and Double Ginger Cookies are just a few of the varieties available. YUMMY!
Between us, our team has enjoyed a number of Tina’s baking classes. Decadent Desserts, Simple Gluten-Free… this lady knows her stuff! You will find Tina’s classes at Well Seasoned in Langley, including some upcoming Christmas candy and cookie classes that you won’t want to miss!
If you have a chance to try out Tina’s creations, your sweet tooth will do a happy dance. And seriously, try the marshmallows. Please leave a note below to be entered to win a package of each of The Pink Spatula’s holiday marshmallow flavours: Creme de Menthe, Sweet Heat Chili, Cranberry Orange, Holiday Spice and Toasted Coconut. We think these would make great stocking stuffers, if they make it to Christmas!

I’ve never experienced home made marshmallows. I am very curious what those would taste like but sadly I live too far away! Proud of you Tina!
Tina’s creations are the best! So wonderful to see your business taking off.
You had me at marshmallow!!
I love hearing about people doing what they love especially when life throws you curveballs!
Everything I have ever tried of Tina’s is really wonderful. However, it is her passion for creating the picture perfect presentation coupled with the delectable taste sensation that is truly wonderful!
Yummy! Sounds so good. Makes a lovely treat.
looks really yummy!
Mini-sized desserts! What a great idea. You can have seconds, or you can try a different one. And still zip up the pants later.
I made marshmallows for the first time last Christmas and wow….way better than Jet Puff! Creme de Menthe sounds heavenly! I would take a funky marshmallow making class any day!
My goodness! What a talent you have! I have never thought of so many varieties! You are truly blessed to be able to share these with others. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I’m actually teaching marshmallows tonight as a part of the Christmas Candy Class at http://www.wellseasoned.ca. I think there’s still 1 or 2 spots left.

Please enter me into your contest. I love this business idea. It’s about time someone took on the supermarket marshmallow brands with all their preservatives.
sounds like a tasty treat to me!
I literally drooled when reading this post! Hope to try out these delightful sounding marshmellows soon!
I have heard about similar marshmallows not too long ago, haven’t had the chance to try any yet though!
Sounds fantastic! Would love to WIN and try out Tina’s Creations.
I am having a Christmas wedding and I am sure these would be a big hit with the guests.
These will definitely be the highlight of one of my Christmas gatherings!!! Love to win and share!
Great article! Had no idea that Tina Bacon and the Pink Spatula existed. I live in Chilliwack… maybe that is why. I haven’t spent a lot of time in Langley… guess I will have to do a little investgating. Would love to try her baking delights and introduce them to friends in family over the Christmas season. Maybe one of our local businesses could sell some of Tina’s baking delights too. That would be awesome!
Those look and sound delicious!!
I have never tried home made marshmallows. I am sure Tina’s would be amazing!
Bring ‘em on, Tina!
Yes please, I would LOVE to try these homemade marshmallows. I definitely need to
take a class from Tina.
I LOVE toasted coconut marshmallow, but have never tried Tina’s. I can’t wait to pop one in my mouth!!
Thanks for highlighting this story…what a great way to hear about what others are doing!
Sounds very yummy!
Fantastic piece on Tina. She is lovely and her products are soooo good!
Had something similar, but these sound even better.
can’t wait to go to Mission and try the coconut marshmallows
brings memories of Christmas on the praries
we used to buy BIG coconut marshmallows, haven’t seen them for years,
and home made has to be better
These look delicious and would be great little treasures to top off the Christmas stockings. I love supporting local talent! I would love to try one of her classes too.
It takes a very special woman to use the diagnosis of a life threatening disease to reach for the gold ring instead of sitting in bed and giving up. Tomorrow I go to Langley to purchase some of these life changing bites of hope.
Tina has fat fluffy marshmallows for the entire family.
My mouth is watering right now!
