Saint Peter's Bakery

By Ariel Gallegos I've been able to make and try so many things at Saint Peter's Bakery. I've helped make breads, I've made and decorated cookies, I've made pear and apple pies, helped make cinnamon buns and croissants, and have been able to make sugar flowers. Here are some finished sugar flowers. I've also tried serving and it was hectic to say the least. The bakery has been able to keep their business growing by offering lunches and selling at markets. Though they don't advertise much, Melanie has been interviewed in magazines and newspapers and they always count on word of mouth. The atmosphere in the bakery is warm and most of the customers who walk in the door are regulars and have gotten to know Melanie and her team of creative chefs quite well. The women there are very friendly and they love what they do. Most of them started out wanting to go into a different field of work when they were in college but found their love for baking and ran with it.  Here is the dough for the Easter cookies. Here are the decorated Easter cookies. Most, if not all the baked good made at the bakery are made into dough, shaped, then frozen till they are ready to restock. No matter if the dough is made on a different day the goods are always freshly baked and always delicious.
