We found a new "gourmet bake shop" today, as Brian and I were driving around town. It's in the same parking lot as the Chipotle, where we had lunch, and we were intrigued. Unfortunately, we're also forgetful, so we left lunch without checking out the shop. But it didn't slip Brian's mind entirely, so we went for a visit in the early evening, after we'd picked up Sydney and everyone had cooled down (it was hot today).
The bakery had three display cases, which included cupcakes (of course), cookies, and Cakebites. Of the cupcakes, we bought a double fudge, a strawberry shortcake, root beer float, FairyFetti, pina colada, and one other I don't remember. Brian was in charge of picking cookies, so all I know is that there's a heavy box of cookies in the refrigerator. And then there are Cakebites, which are little balls of cake batter and frosting mixed together and baked, then dipped in chocolate. They are ... awesome. We got a couple samples when we entered the store: Sydney thoroughly enjoyed the double fudge, and I loved the lemon. We ended up getting three double fudge Cakebites. (This invention may be as brilliant as donut holes, or pretzel bites.)
I tasted ... er, ate ... the strawberry shortcake cupcake tonight. The cake was nice and moist, and the frosting was delicious. I can't wait to share the chocolate one with Sydney tomorrow, since I've got faith in its probable fabulousness. Brian ate half of the root beer float cupcake, and said it was really good, too.
Lovely. Just what we need: a delicious bake shop within a 10-minute drive.
