Hi Everybody! It's me, Chef Scott!

Welcome to BakerMadness in December!

The month has really been heating up with parties and functions Galore! I haven't ever had so many booked weekends... And I was pretty popular in my 20's.

This past weekend we hauled our cookies (as well as other treats) all the way to a party in Naples. It was a huge success and one of our largest menus yet. It was also the farthest that we have strayed from our home base to cater. We had fun and everybody loved the food... As you can see.

A few weeks ago, we had a Chili Throwdown at The Emporium Largo. It was a smash hit with music and prizes and 3 varieties of Chili. Spicy Hot, Sweet BarBQ, and Inadvertant Vegan... Based on sales and "exit polls", the Sweet BarBQ took top honors and was a complete Sell Out... in a good way.

On Saturday December 19th, The Emporium Will be hosting a Holiday Extravaganza!! There will be Live Music, Door Prizes, Great Food.... and we have it on Good Authority that Santa is Coming!

Being a semi web-celebrity myself, I'm not generally starstruck... But it's been a few years since I've seen the Big Guy in person, and am hoping to snap a few pictures for the blog.

In honor of Old St. Nick and hopefully some cool weather (they are saying the high will be in the 60's! Shiver!), we've come up with some fun items that we'll be adding to our standard menu...

First, we are bringing back the Sweet BarBQ Chili! It is perfect to remind you of the frozen north, but with the Sweet BarBQ flavor and hospitality of the good ol' south. Cheddar and Sour Cream are optional (hahahaha riiiight...)

Served with a cornbread owl, c'mon...

We'll do a scaled down kid sized version of our Incredi-Cookie, and we'll add some Pineapple Upside down Gingerbread Cake. Gingerbread is an age old, classic, wintery flavor, and my cake is the moistest in all the realms! Topped with gooey brown sugar and pineapples turning a winter pastry into a sunshine filled delicacy!

And no visit from Santa Clause in the Winter would be complete without Hot Chocolate and Marshmallows... of COURSE Marshmallows! 

Have you been naughty or nice? Either way, adults can request a shot of peppermint schnapps @ no additional charge... a gift to the ski bunny in us all.

So come out to see us on Saturday 12/19/2015... Finish up some shopping... Have a nudge... And rub elbows with the big guy (it's still not too late to get on the good list!) 

Merry Christmas and Happy Winter Holidays to All... !
