I’m always amazed at how quickly summer goes by. Seems like the kids are finally out of school and then in the blink of an eye it’s August and things are winding down.  It’s bittersweet, unlike EVERYTHING at the bakery this summer (tee hee — lame older woman joke).

Here’s what’s new for summer:

M&M cookie ice cream sandwich

Scones with dried cranberries

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES — one word, DECADENT

SCONES!  We’ve made them several times now and they’re yummy!

GALI’S WHIMSICALLY FROSTED CUPCAKES. See photos!

And here’s what’s returning at long last!

LEMON STUFF — the chilled lemon ricotta cookies and lemon bars.

BLUEBERRY CRUMB BARS — crumbly because of the butter in the crust, summery because of the fresh blueberries.

KEY LIME CUPCAKES WITH MANGO BUTTERCREAM — my new favorite cupcake.

Key lime mango cupcakes

Blueberry crumb bars

Gom’s lemon bars

Some other items will be taking a little siesta this summer but they’ll be back, I promise! In the meantime, savor these summer days while we have them!
