Easter

Easter will be here soon, and the Scarlett Pumpernickel is already scheming...  Our 'special' Easter menu will have some of our favorites and some new desserts on the block.  Any suggestions are always appreciated, because we love to try new things!



We will be offering our best-selling egg-shaped Whoopie Pies and Cake Truffles (in a flavor combination of your choice...see menu page). These will be priced the same as on the standard menu.







We are also bringing out an all-time favorite: Iced sugar-cookies, in the style of Easter. That means bunnies and eggs, butterflies and chicks (as in baby chickens, just thought we would clarify).  $7.50 per dozen / 75 cents each.



And we are really excited about this last option! We were looking for some way to incorporate a nest into a pastry and stumbled upon something called a kadaif (which is like shredded phyllo dough) nests.  We're still debating what to fill it with: either the type of nut mixture associated with Baklava, or a home-made pie filling (blueberry or strawberry) and garnishing with fresh fruit. We will post our own picture when we play with the recipe this coming week, and let you know more.
