Prior to opening their business, the pair would spend hours in the kitchen, with Liliia poring over the recipe and Elizaveta providing the finishing touches.<\/p>\n<p>This hobby eventually grew into something larger. In January of 2024, the sisters began selling their handmade sweets online. Chocolate-covered strawberries were their specialty, but mousse cakes and macarons were also quite popular. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405003-20260226-FluffMeUp-13.jpg\"\/>In 2025, the success of their online shop convinced them to open a brick-and-mortar storefront. Though it took some time for them to find the right spot, the sisters ultimately settled on a small unit on Danforth Avenue.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405011-20260226-FluffMeUp-16.jpg\"\/>The shop was then decorated to match the aesthetics of its products: fluffy white chairs were paired with irregularly shaped tables, and round lighting fixtures were installed above a pastel pink takeout counter.<\/p>\n<p>The products themselves are displayed inside a glass case, allowing customers to see what the pastries look like before ordering. <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125994\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405018-20260226-FluffMeUp-6.jpg\"\/>The cherry chocolate ($8) is an egg-shaped dessert, about the size of a closed fist. Its bright pink shell is decorated with white stripes and heart-shaped sprinkles.<\/p>\n<p>Upon breaking the shell, you&#8217;ll find a soft chocolatey center with a hint of fruity sweetness.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405023-20260226-FluffMeUp-8.jpg\"\/>The mango ($10.50) is designed to resemble its namesake, from its oblong shape to its eye-catching gradient. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike a real mango, however, this dessert is filled with tangy fruit-flavoured cream.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405029-20260226-FluffMeUp-5.jpg\"\/>One of my favourite dishes was the silk heart ($9.50), a heart-shaped dessert filled with yogurt mousse and strawberry jam. <\/p>\n<p>A chocolate key rests on top. Its rigid form and earthy flavour provide a sharp contrast to the sweet, creamy yogurt.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405035-20260226-FluffMeUp-11.jpg\"\/>The rocher ($9.90) takes the form of a round brown ball, similar to a Ferrero truffle. Unlike the other desserts, whose fillings are soft and fluffy, this dish is studded with chopped nuts, giving it a pleasantly crunchy texture.<\/p>\n<p>Dark chocolate mousse and caramel can be found inside.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125998\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405039-20260226-FluffMeUp-12.jpg\"\/>The medovik ($7.25) is a delicate layer cake, made from sheets of honey cake held together with mascarpone. Chopped strawberries are sprinkled on top.<\/p>\n<p>Liliia tells us that this dish is one of the most labour-intensive items on the menu. However, it also happens to be a crowd favourite, making the lengthy prep period that much more necessary.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-125999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405066-20260226-FluffMeUp-2.jpg\"\/>Fluff Me Up also carries a wide selection of drinks, each served in an adorable pink mug. <\/p>\n<p>The mocha ($5.65) is topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream, which helps to balance out its bittersweet flavour.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-126000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405071-20260226-FluffMeUp-1.jpg\"\/>The hot chocolate ($5.50) is served with miniature marshmallows, which form a thick paste along the rim of the mug.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-126001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405077-20260226-FluffMeUp-17.jpg\"\/>Since opening in December of 2025, Fluff Me Up has been a huge hit with the residents of Greektown. <\/p>\n<p>Both sisters are incredibly grateful for the community&#8217;s support and promise to repay their kindness in any way they can.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fluff me up toronto\" id=\"content-image-126002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772405082-20260226-FluffMeUp-14.jpg\"\/>Fluff Me Up is located at 800 Danforth Ave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fluff Me Up is a candy-coloured cafe in Toronto that specializes in fresh coffee and fanciful desserts.
