Best Taste

Ladurée was the inspiration for the cake entered into the Sweet Equality competition last Friday at Hotel Vetro. Macaroons and matrimony, what could be more sweet?

"Yay, Gay!"

-Jamie Powers

DeLuxe was voted Best Taste.

For the Tasteful and Tasty, you know who to call.

It's Really Happening

Jamie sets up our first day at Prairie Lights.

The crema headquarters

Busy baristas and pastry-pushers

Ready for you!

Literature, coffee, pastry and then wine. In that order.

Relaxed, as it should be. Stop in.

Cake War II

Maritime cake means business.

Cake Wars

DeLuxe patron demands a bigger and better cake than her sister ordered last September.

DeLuxe patron gets this Clifford Cake.*

*Clifford not to scale

And so it begins.

Blessed Bakery

We're thanking Heaven for:

Macarons...

The best coffee in town...

Friends!

Pastry sculpture and cowboys (woot!)

And blessings upon blessings.

Hey There, Guys

Get married, already!

A Reading of Leslie's Own

Our Leslie (as if we could lay claim!) is reading from her new book The Gin Closet this evening at Prairie Lights. Seven o'clock. Be there!

Biscotti's Only Part of the Equation

New Today: Orange-Almond and Chocolate-Pistachio Biscotti

No biscotti experience is complete without some form of coffee. We'll sell biscotti alone, but we won't like it.

Prairie Lights: DeLUXE'd

"The fine arts are five in number, namely: painting, sculpture, poetry, music and architecture,

the principal branch of the latter being pastry."

-Antonin Carême

It's no news that poetry and pastry go well together. It's just that now life is imitating art. We will be serving at Prairie Lights soon. Here's the proof.
