Episode Three was all about how our diet is causing us to get fatter. But we didn't want to make you feel too guilty about eating fattening food. So we sent Producer Michael Tymchuk to a Victoria pastry shop called Creating Occasions, to learn how to eat sweets responsibly. He met up with Head Chef and Owner Lora Lonesberry as she was putting the finishing touches to a wedding cake.
