Zoobilation is sold out, but if you are going to be there, we'll be serving up mini versions of our Mille Fuille. Not sure what we'll be doing for Dig-In yet, but you know it will be awesome!

New menu items:
Stop by and check out some new items in the case! We are making Mille Fuille every week - three layers of beautiful, handmade puff pastry layered with raspberry jam and pastry cream, garnished with fresh raspberries. We also have the "Rhuberry Petit Gateaux" in the case - pistachio creme legiere filled with strawberry gelee and rhubarb compote on a piece of sable dough baked with pistachio cream. Cream puffs are back, too! We also have many wedding cake tastings, which means fun cakes in the case available by the slice. This week I know we will have lemon cake with lemon curd filling and chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry filling with a whipped chocolate ganache icing.
