| - While driving around, we found this little cute, hole-in-the-wall bakery. Passing by it several times (parking is at a premium) we finally found a spot the third time around. Tells you how much we wanted some fresh bakery fare. As we entered the door, "CLICK," and the door was locked. Talk about good luck. The ladies told us to take our time. Somehow we had managed to get through the door about 45 minutes after closing. Oh, what luck on our part.
The place smelled wonderful and the cakes, cookies, eclairs, pies, etc. all looked amazing. First thing my friend asked about was a particular type of cake that he had been craving for a while. Of course they had the Yellow Cake with buttercream frosting that he wanted. She boxed it up and then we asked her to give us 12 assorted cookies, bakers choice but no nuts.
Feeling happy about our current collection, I happened upon what appeared to be an apple purse. It was in fact an apple dumpling (a whole apple inside rather than diced apple) and it rounded our order for the night.
We couldn't wait, we started munching on the cookies. They were fresh and good. I particularly like the oatmeal raisin that she put in and the mint chocolate chip tree was the most unusual one. After my fourth cookie, the box was removed from my hands and I was told that I couldn't have any more until after dinner. That is not made-up.
After having eaten some of the cake and the apple dumpling, I must say that I will return. The dumpling could use a little more cinnamon and I could taste the extra acid that was used (lemon juice?) but I am fairly fond of it. Yes, I will return.
