Most people, in the developed world, at least, have heard of the Guinness Book of Records. It is the dream of thousands to be mentioned in this annually updated collection of world records, thereby proving that they are exceptionally good at something. Athletes, for instance, are often trying their hardest to not only win the race, but actually break records. It is no different for Canada and some of its citizens. Do you know what are we THE BEST at?

Those who have a sweet tooth will probably agree with me that while chocolate is fantastic, it cannot always satisfy our taste buds. Something a little fancier, like a delicious cake or a cute cupcake, is necessary from time to time. Toronto is, luckily, not short of places where you can go and get unbelievably good cakes and cupcakes. In this article, I want to present a short guide to these heavenly places. I should warn you, however, that you might feel an urgent need to eat something sweet after you are done with reading this article — just as I did when I was writing it!

Of course, there is no formula for success, but sometimes it is helpful to generalize.

Nonetheless, there are many prominent ladies who worked hard and influenced their countries or even the whole world. This article will be devoted to well known women of the 20th century, all of whom deserve our respect and admiration!
