Hi everyone!!!
Holy Smokes!! It sure was CRAZY at the Carmel Market this past Saturday!! Our line was never really long, but it sure was non-stop!! Rest assured, we are increasing our pars for Saturday!!!
Race items!!! This week I'll be starting some specials for the fabulous month of May in Indy!! I'll be starting off with our black and white French Macarons. I for sure will have the regular size ones, but also looking at doing an entremet size. Also thinking of doing a 6 pack box of race flag colors/flavors. I'll post if I get those done for this weekend, but will for sure by race weekend. Also thinking of doing Black and White cookies!!
Carmel Farmer's Market - You know the drill!! PRE-ORDER!!! I brought more food this past Saturday than we did since LAST SEPTEMBER!! And we STILL SOLD OUT!! What that tells me...we have a lot to be baking!!! Some specials for this weekend - "Rhuberry" Bread - this is a mini quick bread with local strawberries and rhubarb with a pecan streusel ($8); Black Pepper Parmesan Sour Dough - we are bringing even MORE this week as we sold out early last week ($9) - this is a great sour dough boulle with parmesan, asiago and a little cheddar with a nice kick of black pepper and topped with sesame seeds. Sage Aioli Chicken Salad - this isn't a special, as we bring it each week, but I HIGHLY recommend you pre-order!!! Pints are $12 - chicken breast, housemade sage aioli, asiago, pistachios, celery, salt and pepper - that's it! I don't even like chicken salad (I have mayonnaise - but our aioli!! I could eat a bucket of this chicken salad!! TRUST ME! We could have some pop up specials, so keep an eye on social media for that.
