In case you didn’t know, today is National Pastry Day. So if you need an excuse to indulge, today is your day!!
My favorite Bakery in Maine is Standard Baking Company in Portland. Whenever we are in the area we always stop in for one of their delicious pastries.
My all time favorite is the pear frangipane tart but there are seasonal favorites I adore too. Like the cheddar chive scone in the fall and the mini gingerbread cakes in the winter.
Their morning buns are my husband’s favorite anytime of year. That sticky caramelized topping pulls him in every time.
No matter what we do, we just can’t seem to stay from the place. I’ve often thought about getting a part time job there just so I could learn how to make a few of my favorites.
I bought their cookbook last year… and the pear frangipane tart recipe is in there. Maybe I should give it a try first.
Today is national pastry day… Did I mention that? Fact: There are NO CALORIES on national pastry day. You can eat as many as you want. 😉
Well, that’s what I’ll be telling myself as I fill up a box of deliciousness this morning.
Keep calm and carry one.
