The fabulous Sift Bake Shop, Mystic, CT
I was only away for slightly less than three days, but my visit to Connecticut included great scenery, history, fun and great food. It's difficult to choose a favorite eating place, but Sift Bake Shop, was an amazing discovery. The only difficult part of visiting Sift was making a choice. I almost ordered three pastries, but quickly realized that was more sugar than I'd had in months and restrained myself. If you look to the left bottom of the photo above, you'll see my choice. I ordered a lemon meringue croissant, which was croissant filled with lemon curd and topped with perfect meringue.
I added one of the pumpkin chai macarons to my order because it was both unusual and the pumpkin drew me in. I hoped to save it and take it back to New York for a snack, but not surprisingly, I ate it the same night, and it was, not surprisingly, delicious.
My other big temptation was the fabulous looking cinnamon sugar brioche, named for Ebbe, the wife of owner, Adam Young. I guess I need a return visit to Mystic to sample one of these goodies.
My favorite flavors are lemon and ginger, and I'm not an especial chocolate fan, but these brownies called out to me.
A big thanks to Bev, who puts together our Pink Saturday fun every week. Buttercupland was featured in this week's post. What a nice surprise! Please stop by and have some Pink Saturday fun.
As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
