Brown Egg Bakery

In such a weird time in our lives, it feels so good to treat yourself to something so lovely. There is such a feeling (real or perceived) right now of scarcity. Tucking into a delicious piece of cake, cut from a beautiful creation (made by someone else) feels like such a slice of much-needed normalcy. If I can still have something like this just sitting on my kitchen counter, how bad can things be? I've followed Brown Egg Bakery on social media since it started, and I've had Allison's perfect confections at many a fundraiser or special event, because she's made giving back to our community such a staple of her business model. But (I'm ashamed to admit) this is the first time I've paid cold hard cash for one of her baked beauties. I'm pleased to announce, I'm now in a committed relationship with a bakery. For Easter, we had the option of adding a sour cream citrus bundt cake to our order from Kam's Kookery. It was absolutely perfect - flavorful, not too sweet, and you could see the tiny little lime zest throughout each bite. I wonder how many limes she had to zest to make these Easter cakes! The glaze/icing on top added just the right amount of sweetness. On Easter, I served it plain. Last night I served it with macerated strawberries and it seemed like a completely different dessert. Something about being able to eat a cake like this just makes you feel like today is a good day and tomorrow is going to be better.

I took fellow Yelper Julie S.' advice and placed and order for the sour cream and citrus Bundt cake.It was the perfect accompaniment for after dinner coffee at a dinner party at my home. (I hate cloying desserts, and this was the complete opposite of cloying.)Well done!

This is a small bakery run by an amazing person! She has such an amazing vision and the taste is WOW. Big yum.
