Menue for August 19th, my last Market Day
Dear customers and friends,
Four years ago I was fortunate enough to start one of my hardest, but also one of my most rewarding adventures in my live, when I decided to open āUllaās European Delightsā at the Williamsburg Farmers Market. You, my wonderful customers, found your way from Toano Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Newport News and Virginia Beach, as well as from DC, Maryland and North Carolina, and I canāt thank you enough for all your love and great support ! I am so familiar with your faces and I look so forward each Saturday to seeing you, I canāt imagine yet that this would change soon.
From the very beginning my family always was with me and supported me emotionally, as well as with their labor. Most importantly and certainly always on my side (except he had better things to do like playing some golf tournaments, lol) my dear husband Curtis, who you got to know as my āmoney-manā. Our daughter Antonia, whoās a great baker already since her teenage years, also shared her ideas regularly with me via facetime, as well as she was with me at my very first and some more market days in Williamsburg, as well as now on my last market days in beautiful Yorktown!
From the very beginning, you have made us feel welcome and, through your continuous support for my business, you inspired and determined me to try harder and give my very best through all the yummy and elegant cakes, which I learned from my mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. Very often you have given me the chance to be part of your familiesā celebrations, business events and many other happy events. I have always found pride and satisfaction in the quality of my products and tried my very best to never disappoint your expectations and, from the amazing feedback we received from all of you over the years, we know we have met your expectations.
With Dianaās European Delights I have found another very passionate and very talented baker, who is so ready to take over and who will be continuing this sweet work and becoming part of this wonderful Yorktown Market Days community. We are very sure that youāll love her cakes as much as we do (and btw her Beesting Cake āBienenstichā is much better than mine! Who knows what else, lol)
And here is now my menu for my last market :
Traditional German Gingerbread Hearts ! Go get these beautiful and authentic Gingerbread Hearts for your Bavarian Party ! Authentic Bavarian Pretzels with salt or with cheese. Due to that high amount of labor I only can bring a certain amount, which usually sell out super fast. Please come early to get some for you to enjoy The most famous German Torte : Blackforest Cake or āSchwarzwaelder Kirschtorteā, a 3 layered chocolate cake with cherries and heavy cream My creamy, lemony German Cheesecake with Blueberries. My bestseller and even in my Bavarian colour Blue and White The most popular German Apfelkuchen, a sunken applecake Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls with Cream cheese frosting Super soft Lemon Rolls with freshly cooked Lemon Curd and Lemon Icing Traditional Poppyseed rolls, the same soft dough like the other rolls, with a delicious cooked Poppyseed filling
Glutenfree and dairyfree : Delicious Chocolate-Banana-Cake (GF, DF, Vegan) Exquisite Vanilla-Blueberry-Cake (GF, DF, Vegan) Juicy Lemon-Poppyseed Muffins (GF, DF, Vegan) Scrumptious Protein Bars loaded with fiber, extra scoop of protein (organic milk thistle, h**p seed and pumpkin seed powder), fruits, nuts and seeds. GF, DF, vegan, no sugar, but perfectly sweetened with all the fresh and dried fruits. High in fiber and protein and great in taste !
Savory Pretzels š„Ø !
And certainly my freshly cooked, very aromatic Strawberry-, Blueberry- and Cranberry-Low-Sugar-Jams ! 66% fruits and only 33% sugar. You can taste the difference !
Itās been an enormous pleasure and great honor serving you at Williamsburg and Yorktown Farmers Market, and with this great last market day Curtis, Antonia and I say thank you and good-bye.
With warmest regards and deepest gratitude,
Ulla Clayborne
