Hi Sanna,
I really enjoy your website and have tried several of your recipes. I’m wanting to try some with ube next. I also live in Winnipeg and am wondering if any stores in the city carry it?

Hi Michelle! It is so nice to hear from a fellow Winnipegger ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for visiting the site. For the ube flavoring, I get mine from Lucky by Mcphillips and the brand is Mc Cormick. Sometimes, they have it at Youngs. Good luck and happy baking! Stay warm!
