Tantalize your taste buds with some delicious images
Every baked good we produce we see as an piece of artwork that plays on all the senses, fulfills all the needs, and satisfies the desires of the consumer. Not just flavor but touch, sight, smell, and even sound as well are important. A loaf of bread should will have a nice deep hue, with a heady wheaty aroma, with a crusty feel, and crackles when it first comes out of oven.
Break Bread
A tradition as old as bread itself, when you make the person next to you something more.
