Farmhouse on the Pond

Heads up! Sometime between now and 8/31, our website will be down for several hours while our hosting company migrates to a new data center. Unfortunately when you only pay $100/year for hosting they don’t let you dictate the timing. 🥴 So if you visit us and the site is down, fear not, we’re still here! You can contact us by phone/e-mail or just try again in a couple of hours.

Good morning! We wanted to let you know that we will no longer be able to accept orders via Facebook messenger and that direct messages will not be closely monitored going forward. You still have choices for contacting us, however. You may order by calling or texting the number pictured below or using the order feature on our website. When you order on the website, you still have the option to with pay cash upon pickup or to pay via PayPal. This change will allow us to keep our focus on making delicious baked goods. Thank you for your ongoing support! 💚

Don’t tell Bill, but I kind of want to paint the kitchen cabinets this color. 🤫

“You can’t make a sugar-free, low carb chocolate cake that’s diabetes-friendly AND tastes good.” Bet.

This is for a family member and not anything we’re selling (the special ingredients are pretty pricey and NY doesn’t let us sell cake under the home bakery license anyway) but I had to share because this was a fun challenge and I’m thrilled with how it came out. Happy to pass the recipe (not mine) on to anyone else who wants to give it a shot!

We love it when your favorite flavors are also our favorite flavors. 🤤 (You better believe I made a batch for us too!)

Cheddar, kalamata olive, and “everything” sourdough rolls.

It’s been an unusually warm fall, but temps are finally cool enough to bring back this fan favorite. Croissants and pain au chocolat are once again available to order on our website!

✨ Introducing Kouign-Amann! ✨

Pronounced queen-a-mahn, this crisp, buttery delicacy from the Brittany region of France truly is the Queen of Pastry. It begins with a laminated dough — similar to the one used for croissants — and is then folded with sugar and a bit of coarse salt and baked to a crisp golden brown while the butter and sugar coalesce in the bottom of the pan to created a sweet, sticky caramelized base.

As if that isn’t decadent enough, we are also offering a version filled with spiced apples. If an American apple pie traveled to Paris, fell in love with a croissant, and they spent a summer on the Breton coast soaking up the salt sea air, the apple-filled Kouign-Amann would be the product of their love. My tastebuds are still zinging from the sample I tried last night. *This* is *the one.*

You can find both the plain and apple-filled version in the Pastry section of our website. They would make an elegant dessert or a decadent breakfast.
