We have a new local baker who is making our regular and chocolate cheesecakes to specification. We're also adding brownies, an unbelievably moist carrot cake and a gooey turtle cheesecake.
We were considering doing our desserts in-house but there's simply not enough room in our kitchen, storage in our refrigerators nor enough time to do what we wanted, considering we're baking muffins, cinnamon rolls and sfogliatelle first thing every morning, doing panini right after that and then mixing fresh cannoli filling on a regular basis.
But for the record, Rich can turn out a mean authentic ricotta pie. We just don't think we could work that into our routine at this time. So it makes sense to find someone really good who we trust to do the baking outside the store. Even if we're not making them ourselves, the cakes are fresh and unique to our store.
