rhubarb AND strawberries!

in the backyard with pups

There is this perfect moment where spring and summer meet in a strawberry rhubarb pie.  When the sun has risen high enough to sweeten the berries and the soil has nurtured the stalk.  Tuck me into that crust and bake me in the sun- golden, balanced and warm.

The duck added a surreal touch to the city's iconic skyline. No doubt those in the Central financial district found time in their busy days to post countless photos to social media taken from their high office perches.

Thank you Mr. Hofman for making the world a more rubbery, smiley, bubbly place.  This is what it’s all about, right?

so pretty in pink…


Buttercream, buttercream, how’d you get so pink?  Bright, simple & sweet raspberry puree.  That’s it.  No food dye in this one, just yummy yummy berries.  There’s a reason the pink cake is a favorite in the community and the star of Vintage Cakes…this icing is spoon-worthy (just ask Greta)!

remembering Kay

we’ll think of you each spring as we bite into our first rhubarb handpie.

and then there was teacake

I used to be a hater. My grandpa would try to trick me into eating the stringy, bitter stalks each spring. Years passed, life took me this way and that and then…the rhubarb teacake came into my life.  I learned that rich, buttery, sweetness needs rhubarb, relies on it’s deliciously tart ways.  Thank you bakery, you’ve made me a believer. -k

Waking up with rhubarb…

cream cheese & rhubarb danish… it’s kind of a big deal around here

 

there’s sun breaking through the Rhubarb in Julie’s garden!
