This summer of 2012 is the possible beginning of a new way of life, as a professional baker! Joe and I have moved back to East Hampton, NY. The home town I never thought I'd live in again. This is a test run. I always knew I'd have to try living on the East coast again, to see if I could really enjoy it. So here we go!
This summer, I will be putting out baked goods at the
Pantigo Farm Co. stand in East Hampton. The stand is run by my good friends, the very talented, hard working and newly married Sam and Hillary Lester. They have a great stand at 390 Pantigo Rd. filled with local produce, a lot of which is organic (all of which is delicious!), granola (made by Ms. Hillary Lester herself), some of the most amazing jams and jellies that Sam and Hillary specialize in and have become very well known for. Their
Beachplum Jelly is what got them started and have people coming back for more and more. The Beachplum BBQ sauce is something that everyone who enjoys a good BBQ should try, and get one for their BBQ enjoying friends too. Right now, the fresh, local and in season strawberries have been put to great use in their amazing strawberry jam, which I am incorporating into
Cait's Baked Peanut Butter and Jelly cookies.
The baking life has been great so far. It's hard, hard work, but luckily I love it! I want to start the food pictures again, and get this blog up and running once more. I started up a facebook page for
Cait's Baked, check it out!
Here are some photos of the yummy goodness that is being sold at Pantigo Farm Co. Come on by, introduce yourself, have a sample and hang out! I hope to see everyone there!
