So we brought some your take-and-bake chocolate scones with us on a little mini-vacation, but we forgot to bring the instructions. I'm pretty sure it's 20 minutes, but the temperature? 350?

so'oh my gosh!!! My Bastille Day treats were remarkable. Using magical self-control, I made the tarts last until last night. I restricted myself to two bites at a time. They were sublime :-) The K-things? I scarfed those down in a day and a half. Same with the brioche. What wonderful goodness. Thank you for your passion and dedication to providing us with such exquisite, perfectly-crafted pastries of all sorts. Can't wait til we can visit you in the shop
