Happy New Year

First, Thank you to ALL of our customers for the warm wishes and welcoming sentiments! You have made opening this shop a wonderful experience!     With the Holidays behind us and 2010 ahead, we are settling in to the routine of supplying the needs of our clientele on a regular basis. Our "Baker's Whim" board is beginning to fill up with regularly requested items like Cream Bread (Mon) Blueberry Muffins (Tue) and Sticky Cinnamon Buns (Wed). Folks have been helping this along by pre-ordering, or just letting us know that they'll be in on those days. This helps us control waste and prices and, by knowing that you are getting what you want fresh instead of something that has been sitting in a case for a few days, we feel better about the product we're serving.    There have been a lot of suggestions for us to make cakes. The previous owner made lots of cakes in different shapes and varieties. This is a talent that she had, and was very good at it! We've seen and heard about her cakes and we will begin to offer some simple cakes of our own beginning in January. The grand Wedding Cake or Specialty Cakes are frankly a bit beyond our talents, but we are happy to offer you some of the basic cakes that were available before. By choosing to keep it simple on the variety of products, we are able to concentrate on the core-group of items we offer, those being the Famous Finger Roll and specialty breads and rolls, and to do them well! Of course, our Danish and Cider Donuts are available on a daily basis, and it feels good to see the folks coming in to grab a few of them for themselves and their co-workers on the way to the office or shops.     The new line of Truffles was introduced over the Christmas Season and was met with some very nice reviews and we thank you. It is a bit of a juggling act in the bake-room adjusting temperatures to work chocolate and keep up with Finger Roll orders, but things seem to be flowing nicely back there and we'll have our new flavor out in February when we discontinue the Holiday Spice Truffle for the season.     Thank you again, and we invite you all to stop in as often as you can, we're always cooking something up in the bake-room and you never know what little gems may be found in the case on any given day! Warm, sweet, and safe wishes, Broadway Sweets
