§ The Scarborough take · sweets & mithai
Scarborough has the GTA's strongest concentration of Tamil and Sri Lankan wedding sweets specialists, alongside Punjabi and Bangladeshi mithai shops. The Scarborough sweets cluster sits along Markham Road, Kingston Road, and Sheppard Avenue East. Tamil wedding sweets (paayasam, laddu, paal kova, mysore pak, jangiri) are the local specialty alongside Sri Lankan kavum, kokis, and milk toffee for nalangu-night and ceremony sweet trays.
Pricing typically runs $25-$60 per kilogram for boxed Tamil sweets, $130-$320 for a 1-3 kilogram celebration tray, $6-$16 per box for guest favors (200-500 grams), and $150-$800 per piece for custom carved or tiered Tamil-wedding sweet centerpieces. Scarborough pricing is 10-20 percent below the GTA core for comparable work. For Tamil weddings during Thai month (January-March), order 4-6 weeks ahead since Scarborough's Tamil sweet shops are the busiest in the GTA during peak season. Most shops include the ceremonial pre-wedding sweet trays (nalangu, manjal kuli, valaikappu) as bundled wedding-package add-ons. Confirm refrigeration requirements at the venue for milk-based Tamil sweets.
