This week at the shop AND THE MARKETS!! Week of January 30th

Hello everyone! It's superbowl time!! As I said last week, as much as I have particular feelings toward one of the teams coming to town, I'll hold my feelings to myself. Although, we did decide to make one "special" dessert for the Patriot's fan - cream puffs:)

So, let the madness begin!!
We will be open for the next 13 days straight. YES!! 13 days straight. That means there are NO excuses for you not to get down to City Market and get your goodies. We will be open extended hours every day through Superbowl Sunday. As of now, we are planning on being open until around 6pm on Monday and Tuesdsay, and then until 9pm the rest of the week. Superbowl Sunday hours will depend on the traffic at the market. Give us a call if you want to be sure we are there - 632-3644.

So, what can you find on the menu this week? LOTS OF GREAT STUFF!! Here are some of the pastries we will have waiting for you:

• Lemon curd tarts
• Bittersweet chocolate caramel tarts with sea salt
• Cream Puffs
• Chocolate Torte
• Triple Chocolate Mousse cake
• Carrot Cake
• Chocolate decadance - flourless dark chocolate cake, milk chocolate Bavarian Cream and a white chocolate macaron

Molly's Great Chicago Fire:
By now I am sure you have heard that we are helping some freinds launch their new food tuck - Molly's Great Chicago Fire - serving up all Chicago style food. Right now, they are doing a limited menu of REAL Italian Beef and Chicago dogs and will expand the menu when they start up again in the spring. This week you can find them around 38th and Illinois, outside Upland Brewing on College Ave. and on Mass Ave. To find out exactly where they will be, follow them on Facebook or Twitter (@mollysfire) to get their schedule.

VALENTINE'S DAY is just around the corner - Tuesday, February 14!! We will be starting to offer our famous sugar cookies shaped in hearts this week at the shop. We are also now taking orders for Valentine's Day!! We will be offering our sugars at the usual price of $2 per cookie, but for all orders that are placed ahead, we will have them at $22 per dozen. We will also be offering our cookie "pops" - these are heart shaped sugar cookies that are a bit bigger than our regular cookies on a stick and wrapped. If chocolate is your thing, we also have a wonderful little chocolate "torte" for $20.

KING CAKES!!
Mardi Gras has officially begun, so we are making King Cakes!! Our King Cakes are made from a recipe that a friend of mine who was a pastry chef in New Orleans provided me with. It is a great recipe! We make it with a sweetened cream cheese filling, decorated in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of yellow, green and purple, and our course, there is a BABY INSIDE!! Cakes are $24 and are ready with a one day notice. To order, email me for an order form. The final day of Mardi Gras is Tuesday, February 21st.

This weekend at Carmel!!
We will be back in Carmel on Saturdays, February 11th and 18th.

BREAKFAST!
Circle City Soups in NOW offering a selection of fresh, hot breakfast items. It is the best breakfast at the City Market, and if I could be so bold, downtown Indy!! Items on the menu include three different croissant breakfast sandwiches, one of which features The Smoking Goose's City Ham. They also have available steel cut oats, omlettes, "monkey bread" French Toast, and so much more. And if you don't see what you want, just ask Angela. She rocks!! Of course on the "Sweets" side we still have our fabulous muffins, scones, crossants, Danish and much, much more.

BAKING CLASSES
We are finalizing a couple of things, but I can tell you that we will not be offerening any pastry classes until March. I very much hope to have the complete schedule together in next week's email. Don't forget, if you have a group of friends (6 people) who would like to do a class together, we can schedule a class just for you!! You can even pick the general topic/type of class you want.
