Some wonderful new pieces of art are now hanging in the bakery! Artist Chuck E. Bloom has a series of evocative pencil and watercolor drawings. You will find yourself drawn into a world of elongated, elevated buildings tenuously supported amidst a wild swirl of an abstract, twilight landscape. April O'Connor, has hung several of her miniature cityscape paintings, which she creates in both watercolor and acrylics. Each shows a town at sunset, its buildings colors layered, with windows that reflect the sun. Please visit the websites of each of the artists to read more about their work, and come see it in person at the Bakery through May.

Recipe for Valentine's

A perfect recipe for a sweet day!

If you are looking for a special treat for your sweetheart, we have a suggestion: give a bag of Houlton Bakery cookies that comes with a great recipe for sugar cookies. Perfectly sized to fit a recipe card file, tied up with a red ribbon AND a cookie cutter, this makes for a sweet treat now, and then later too!

Please visit our pastry case on Friday and Saturday this week for dressy cookies and cakes to take away for your special celebration!

She has been here...

Remember the super-animated feel of the cafe in Amelie?? Didn't you just wanted to be a patron in that same cafe? Now is your chance...the carrot cake decoration is perfection and the pastry case is full of deliciousness, topped with precision and detail so...find your green shades, order 'un cafe' and join us just off screen for the scoop on all the regulars...

Chanterelle Season, Deep Dish Pizza Bonanza!

We have just received some absolutely magnificent chanterelles from one of our regular customers at the Bakery who happens to have located some very prolific foraging spots this year! An exceptional and seasonal Deep Dish Special is in the making...

Visit us this Saturday, 9/12, to enjoy delicious deep dish pizzas featuring these seductive chanterelles sauteed with shallots!

Who knows what else we might cook up?

Ridiculously Red Cabbage!

With the crisp night air, and beautiful fall daylight, this cabbage reached perfection. This week, enjoy our Corned Beef and Red Cabbage Sandwiches (braised red cabbage, that is) on Houlton Bakery Bread. And yes, we can grill it for your dining enjoyment!

Macaroon Forest

A forest of scooped macaroon balls, waiting to be baked...

They are such a simple good treat, full of chewiness inside their slightly browned, crusty exterior revealing a soft, full coconut flavor inside.

Did you know they travel well and we do ship them upon request.

September Tomorrow!

If you like Fall, I suppose that is good news, though if you are going back to school soon, facing the end of summer weather and fun, maybe not so much.

Change is always upon us, so with this photo, we bid farewell to the growing days of late summer. A beautiful pitcher filled with gigantic, luscious basil and fragrant rosemary grown by Lacey. Look for it to be a part of this week's bakery offerings, perhaps in the Potato Rosemary bread or as topping on Houlton Deep Dish pizza.
