Happy Fall Sunday! I’m loving this weather, although I know it is probably not a great indicator for the environment. Both warmth and rain — we have been very lucky, compared to so many areas around the world. And i’m also feeling grateful for our terrific customers. Thank you for posting reviews on Google for us. Plus bonus, we are terrible about taking photos of our cakes, so they are memorialized. We are still being hit with 1 star reviews by some activist in the Cambridge Car Free community (although google has taken some down after i reported them), so if you want to leave us a great review on Google, please do so. No need to post a photo unless you want to. Their boycott backfired because we had many new customers come early last week because they saw our post on social media about the city eliminating street parking, and Car Free community’s call 
for a boycott of us as a result. Most people who live and cycle in Cambridge let us know that they think we can have parking AND bike safety, just like we do. Thank you to everyone who said they’d never shopped with us, but wanted to show support!
Btw, these are two cake we’ve made recently. Sadly, we are at the end of the local growing season, but the good news is we’ve been busy bees candying organic edible flowers all summer and pressing flowers as well, so our cakes won’t be flowerless going into the winter. And i’ve planted and will be planting many additional varieties in the Spring so next year we should have a spectacular array of flowers for cakes. (Haha, and for me to enjoy outside and in. Yes, i’m a flower addict and always have been.)
It’s BAGEL WEEK this week, and as usual, it’s always best to preorder. I know some of you got subpar bagels the Sat of last bagel week, and we apologize again. It probably wasn’t the best day to let our new (experienced) baker handle the bake given the volume of bagels. But we’ve been on it since then, practicing with him, and the head baker and I will be giving a lot more support this time so they come out perfect. He’s been a baker for 8 years, but gluten free baking is a whole other world and it takes at least 6 months to really be able to “know” GF dough. In the meantime, it can be very frustrating for experienced professional bakers because you pretty much have to throw everything you know out the window. But here is the bonus. He’s been trialing GF croissants for us, as he’s made wheat ones professionally for years. He is getting close on the butter version and once that is perfected, we will formulate a DF version. The taste is great, just not yet as light and fluffy as we’d like. Eventually, they will become a Saturday Special. Chocolate and plain! Stay tuned.
Sat Special is SCONES! Cranberry-Orange, Pumpkin, and Cherry-Berry. All DF
The Bread this week is Bagels (vegan) and Challah (DF) Loaves or Rolls.
Tea Bread (DF) is Apple Spice, with crumb on top or with Pecans.
