Today we say goodbye to Tjeerd, who was and will remain an important part of our bakery. Years ago our bakery was inspired in part by a boterkoek from Tjeerd and Atie's Windmill Bakery in Huntsville. We are grateful for Tjeerd showing up out of the blue looking for part time work, he brought years of experience and great Dutch recipes to us. Thank you, Tjeerd, we will miss you.

We are so proud to be crowned "Best in Town"!
Our great staff helped put our samplers together and really owned promoting the sampler boxes, as well as the promotion. Also I would like to thank the Chamber of commerce for running this event... it really made this long winter go by a lot quicker. And of course all of the customers who enjoyed our 6 weeks of boxes and voted us #1. Next week we would like to do a favourites box. We would like your feedback on what your favourites were in all of the boxes.

So this is it! Last week of the taste of listowel trail. A great event organized by the north perth chamber of commerce. We have enjoyed doing this, coming up with new ideas each week. This box might be my favourite . For this week we have included an apple raspberry beignet, a piece of lemon loaf, our English muffin.... if you havent had one of ours, you haven't had one! And finished off with a banana peanut butter donut ( available without peanut also)
He hope everyone has been enjoying these... and don't forget to vote!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their valentines and family day weekend.
It's a slippery start to the day... hopefully most of the ice misses us and we just get some rain.
This week's sampler is ready to go! In the box this week has a garlic & Cheese swirl, an ultimate brownie, a honey dipped donut and a butter tart. A nice little variety this week. Come out and give one a try! Only 2 weeks left in the taste of listowel trail. Remember to fill out your ballot and vote for your favorite. You have a chance to win one of 2 $500 prizes

So... the groundhog says early spring! Let's hope w***y is right this time.
For now we will keep enjoying making some new things and letting you try them. This week's box has a pineapple turnover, an apple cinnamon bun, a cheese and herb bagel and finished off with an orange pineapple muffin. A nice selection, still only $5. I hope everyone is enjoying the taste of listowel trail. We are getting out there and trying some product from places in town that we have never been to before.
