June 3, 2012 Wedding Cake

As far as I’m concerned, this is the best part about getting married. We went to a few places, but ended up with The Icing on the Cake. Here is what we brought with us as a guide: Saw this on the knot.com and decided  that it was a pretty cake. Paula worked with us […]

August 24, 2011 Kane’s Donuts

Let me start by saying that doughnuts (or do you prefer the donut spelling?) aren’t my sweet of choice, I don’t crave them or dream about them. I’m not a doughnut connoisseur, but I do know my pastries. I have seen Kane’s all over the place, in blogs, on food shows-you name it. So when […]

March 17, 2011 Tatte Bakery

On March 15th, I was checking my twitter account and saw that Tatte had fresh strawberry hamantaschen (@tattecookies), handmade jam…nice. Sold. When I got home after work, Tatte was my first stop. It was a beautiful day outside, sunny-trying to warm up…but seeing the outside tables made me think that there is hope that spring […]

January 9, 2011 Rosie’s Bakery

Rosie’s bakery makes pretty darn good brownies. Show above is their award winning ‘chocolate orgasm’ brownie-which you can buy by the tray (above) or you can buy per piece (below). A chocolate fudge  brownie with a layer of smooth creamy chocolate frosting! It was acknowledged by Chocolatier magazine for one of the best chocolate recipes […]

October 28, 2010 Clear Flour Bread

I love Clear Flour Bread! Every time I go there, I remember just why I love it so much, yet I forget about it from time to time-out of sight out of mind I suppose. Clear Flour is located at 178 Thorndike Street in Brookline, in a residential neighborhood. The smells of the freshly baked […]

October 21, 2010 Cakes Bakery

I had written about Cakes bakery before (http://dgrubs.wordpress.com/2010/09/08/cakes-bakery/). I was in the neighborhood and figured I’d stop in for another try. I made a quick search of their Facebook page to see what was going on-and found out that they had been interviewed by the Phantom Gourmet-pretty cool! I was in around 6pm on a […]

October 7, 2010 Ivy Fine Cakes

Our friends got married this summer and they got their cake at Ivy’s. I thought they sounded familiar-but I had never been to Canton or Braintree for cakes. When I walked in the door I remembered that I had seen them featured on the Phantom Gourmet-they have a replica cake that they made for them […]

June 7, 2010 Bakers Best

Located on Lincoln Street in Newton Highlands, this is the place to see and be seen. The parking can be tough sometimes-it’s on street meter parking. There is a lot down the street that has meters for longer periods of time, but come early to leave plenty of time to drive around looking for a […]

April 21, 2010 Lakota Bakery

I had gone into South End Formaggio and seen these cookies. I bought the Vanilla Sandwich with chocolate cookies and the shortbread cookie. Yum! I had seen Lakota featured on Chronicle and made the trek out to Arlington to try them out. They only take cash or check, $15 a dozen or $1.35 each. Don’t […]
