Fall is in the Air

Fall is in the Air

9 Nov 2011

We don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s a new menu on the interwebz. That’s right, Grassroots Gourmet has pulled together our favorite items that just SCREAM fall and we think you should take a look.

To be clear, not all of the items are brand new, but they are all fabulous. Trust us, we’ve tried each and every single one of them. I know, it’s hard, but someone’s gotta do it.  We even enlisted some help this year.  Thanks to Jude, Bill, Matt, Ben, Anu, Audrey, Bradley, Jared, Matt & Jenny for your taste-buds and testimonies.  More

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

31 Oct 2011

Though the bakery was closed for the month of October for administrative reasons, we still managed to bake off a few cakes and other sweets. Special orders and orders for friends and family were accommodated by request.

So when our dear friend Sarah needed a cake for a special 6 year old’s birthday, we were more than happy to oblige. Sarah decided that a classic chocolate cake with vanilla frosting would be perfect for her party. The catch— it was a Halloween birthday party so a themed cake was a must. I got to channel my elementary school drawing skills and had a great time decorating this Halloween birthday cake.

The pumpkin on top lends its vines to the birthday writing. On the sides are a graveyard with tombstones and bats flying above, a frightening tree where a witch left her hat and broom, a few ghosts, a black cat and a spooky moon.

 

The next time you need a specialty cake, for kids or adults, just let us know. We are happy to personalize a message or customize a themed cake with decorations, colors and more.

This spring we met a lovely couple who, after meeting 5 years ago at George Washington University, were ready to to tie the knot. We got to know them over the spring and summer and, on the first cool night of the fall season, we helped them celebrate their big day.

Rosh Hashanah

25 Oct 2011

To our Jewish friends and family, we’d like to wish you all a Happy and Healthy (belated) New Year.

At the end of September we celebrated Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This is a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the good times, victories and achievements and reflect on the times we may not have been our best selves. Holiday celebrations include going to synagogue, gathering with family and eating apples and honey to signify a sweet new year. For this baker…that means apple pie!
