It's The Season
Aaaahhhh…. Horse chestnuts falling on our heads, the sweet smell of wood fires, cranberries and pumpkins, and the last of the apples on the trees, . Nostalgic aromas of seasons past dance by our nostrils again as pumpkin pies and gingerbread cakes come out from the oven.
Comfort foods elicit an internal response akin to a sigh of pleasure or a release of endorphins after a great piece of chocolate. Where have we experienced this more than at family gatherings where our grandmothers taught us about comfort foods? (Bubby is a Jewish grandmother).
Someone’s been eating Gingerbread Cake served with our own caramel sauce
Here, at Bubby Rose’s Bakery, we tickle the taste buds with Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie – a legacy of Grandma Grace Barkes (Valerie’s mom). In our flaky, all-butter pastry, the filling is a moist, creamy balance of warm flavours and Thanksgivings past.
Fresh ginger and “fancy” molasses give the Gingerbread Cake zip , while the butter provides the not-too-rich “let’s-have-more” quality.
Note that the pumpkins on the pie start out as 1/8” thick pie dough. We get a huge “jump” because it is almost puff pastry!
Looking for cranberries? You’ll find the little jewels throughout our Apple Cranberry Pie – always a family tradition.
So, remembering that we are a “small bakery”, PLEASE, if you’re going to want some of the above for Thanksgiving, order ahead… heck, if you don’t want any, just relax and allow yourself a Naked Cocoa for a delightfully unique endorphin-releasing* experience!
We give thanks to you all at this time of year,
Valerie, Mark, and Staff
