Umpleby's Bakery & Café

King Winter has brought the snow and the cold this year.  All you need now to have fun is the food!   Come by to warm up with a hot chocolate or latte and have lunch or dessert! Happy Winter Carnival!

We’ll be open tomorrow but will be closing early because of the winter snow storm.  That means you can come by in the morning since there won’t be school and the banks will be closed and who knows what else and get a hot pain au chocolate or a cafe au lait or latte or apple turnover.  We will have some jazz or classical music playing in the cafe because either make good snowstorm listening.

One of my front staff took an order yesterday for a birthday cake.  There was nothing very remarkable about that until the customer called again today to ask if we could write the number 100 on the top.  It happens that this birthday cake for Saturday is for a person who is turning 100 years old.  Now that is an age I don’t write very often on top of a cake! This would probably be reason number….well, 100 why I enjoy being a baker.   It is very gratifying to make something for a memorable occasion like a centenarian’s birthday!  And what kind of cake did they order you ask?  Why the Traditional of course!
