Welcome to Circle City Sweets! I am so excited to be sharing one of my favorite things - dessert - with you. Circle City Sweets began in January '07 and we are getting busier every day. Unfortunately we do not have a store-front yet, but I just know it is not that far away.

I am happy to say we are going to start providing baked products to Chappies in the Village of West Clay. Chappies is located at 12703 Meetinghouse Road - at the corner of 131st and Towne Road. Right now, we are going to be doing muffins, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes and brownies. If we start doing other items, like dinner desserts, I'll let you know. And remember you can always order direct from me. I deliver in the area or you can pick up items at the kitchen. Keep in eye out for holiday specials.

We are currently working with Karin Glass' new restaurants, Serendipity in Carmel at 2 W. Main St. and Serenity in Zionsville at 135 S. Main St. We are a rotating dessert list with both venues and will be doing the desesrts for their "12 Days of Christmas" events. Check out both locations at www.occasionsdivine.com.

In addition, you can still find our products at Creation Cafe on 11th Street at the Canal downtown. We are always bringing in different items so be sure to check it out. Some of the items we are doing for them are the Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake, raspberry bars, carrot cake cupcakes, muffins, cinnamon rolls, cookies and whatever else they might order!

Also, I am VERY excited to let you know that the fine dining restaurant at Buggs Temple, formerly the Tavern at the Temple and now named Euphoria, re-opened this week. Here is the dessert menu:

  • Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee with a Fall Fruit Compote
  • Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake
  • Housemade Apple and Pear Tart Tatin with Cinnamon Ice Cream
  • Persimmon Bread Pudding with Ginger-Hickory Creme Anglaise
  • Housemade Bourbon Pecan Tarts with Caramel and Caramel Ice Cream
We will also be doing some wonderful petits four including salted caramels, French macarons, chocolate truffles and raspberry bars. I will be continuing on as the pastry chef and I plan on having a bit more of a presence at the place, so if you stop in, ask if I am there.

Carmel Holiday Market
Carmel's Holiday on the Square is adding a market component so this year you will see many of the vendors from the summer market attending this event. The date is Saturday, November 22nd from 4:30 - 6:30pm.

Holiday Gift Giving!
Here are some ideas for office gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, etc.

  • Specialty jams - remember all of my jams are unique flavors, small batch and were made with fresh, in-season fruit. We don't use any frozen fruit and when possible, we use local fruit. I am also starting to make some savory items, including red onion marmalade and green tomato-lemon marmalade.
  • Candies - salted butter caramels that will melt in your mouth, chocolate caramels and fruit and nut nougat. Also, try some caramel sauce!
  • Granola - 10 oz. bags of cranberry/raisin granola make a great snack or breakfast.
