Sweets

Rule number one - WE ARE NOT A DIET BAKERY.

Rule number two - WE ARE HAPPY TO MAKE (or attempt to make) PRACTICALLY ANYTHING YOU WISH.

Rule number three - If what you want is excluded by Rule Number One, Refer to Rule Number Two.

PLEASE NOTE: As of Sept 5, 2009, our retail grab-n-go sweets selection will be dramatically reduced.

If you need sweets for a function, or want a special cake or other dessert, please call ahead. We are transitioning away from being a retail bakery, but will still happily accommodate special orders.

We have a "standard" selection of sweets available... some require special order, and they are not all available all the time. These currently include (* GF=gluten-free):

• Choco-Nut Brownies - richly chocolate and chewy, with lotsa nuts (no coconut)
• Toffee-Ganache Bar (GF) - mmmmmmmmmmmm
• Fruity Goodness (GF) - chewy fruit & coconut bars, highly addictive.
• Dream Cake (GF) - "I NEED one of those" is the general directive.
• Ganache Cups (GF) - Serious chocolate fix.
