Day 23 "eat cake"



Of course-at some point there would be a new painting featuring another "window" of a shop located near Lucy's Boutique. Here it is.  It's a new "old school" bakery-owned and operated by Miss Priss.  Much like Lucy's Boutique, the business its self is perfect. The personnel is not only polite but actually happy to see each customer. They are never out of your favorite thing, even if it's your first time there. Every item is made with the highest quality ingredient possible, never any additives or preservatives. The eggs used in cake batter are fresh country eggs from free range chickens.  The herbs used to flavor fresh ficohsa bread are locally grown by "The Farmer" and all dairy products come from his animals as well. They use goat's milk as much as possible but the cow's milk used always comes from happy cows.  Happy Cows make better milk-and better milk can only mean one thing-better products for happier customers-happier customers make happier owners-and so the cycle continues. 
While sweets and baked goods are not sugar free or low calorie, every item comes with a complete and accurate nutritional content label so customers can decide if they have room in their day for a splurge.
It's a small shop but quite exceptional. The owners don't aspire to franchise, nor do they hope to achieve fame on some food network exploitation of pastry skills. No, they are more about the community in which they live and supporting small farms. They invest  profits in micro industry in developing countries and bake delicious treats that make their neighbors happy.
