Old Pastry Chefs Never Die, They Just Make Less Dough

Goodbye Village Baker....

The Village Baker bakery and all it's entities are now closed. Recession blues, and being in a tourist town in the off season took it's toll. My stepson is now out of a job. To say he is bummed is an understatement.

To all my ex-coworkers, I hope you find other employment soon. I know it's not going to be easy here. Especially now.
I'm very sad about all this........not a great thing to happen just before the holidays.

Take care my friends!

Challenge accepted..........

Well, kids, my good buddy Rick who owns Cakelava in Hawaii, has asked me to be his assistant in a Food Network Cake Challenge. I'm going to do it. He's the main competitor......I'll just be the dork in the background, but that's good enough for me! I have to be all hushy hush about the details, but it will be a challenge that's right up my alley. I promise I'll tell ya all about it as soon as it's ok for me to do so...........

Food Network Challenge

In my previous post about the Village Baker Cafes......only one has closed (the Poulsbo location). The Port Townsend location is still open and will remain so unless I hear otherwise! Rumors are flying around town that the Port Townsend location is closing, but it's not true.......my stepson works at the bakery and he's still got a job.........so that's the latest.
So go support your local merchant and buy a danish there, won't you?
