China, India, and Australia Oh My!

Due to rising food costs (see increased demand in China and India, the drought in Australia, etc;), Freed's Bakery will no longer be baking danish or other dry goods Sunday through Thursday. I know, I know, you're understandably upset. I completely understand where you're coming from. However, we will STILL be baking these delicious items fresh every Friday and Saturday.

The complete list of things that are no longer available Sunday through Thursday is as follows: Bow Tie Cookies (Kichel), Baklava, Cheese and Fruit Danish, Coconut Custard Danish, Bear Claws, Chocolate Chip Frozen Dough, Bran and Blueberry Muffins, Chocolate and Raspberry Logs, Elephant Ears, Crispies, Apple Turnovers, Tire Cake, Poppyseed Strudel, Apple Strudel, Hungarian Cheesecake and all the coffee cakes. We will still be offering Bobka but we're turning them into smaller loaves. All bread is still baked fresh on Friday and Saturday as well.

Before you freak out and do something drastic, know that we're going to be offering a few new things in the store to make up for the lost space. Within the next week we will start carrying cupcakes on a regular basis. You used to be able to get them only during the holidays or by special ordering them. We will begin by carrying white and chocolate ones with buttercream icing, but we'll expand the flavors as soon as we figure out what those are going to be. I'm leaning towards a Red Velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting and a fancy-pants new name to sell it: Red Rock Velvet. Take it in. Not too shabby, right? Our marketing team is brilliant.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we appreciate your understanding.
