I went to the Provo Bakery for the first time yesterday and may I say I was blown away. The selection wasn't huge but it was enough of a selection to give me a good choice of really yummy looking desserts. I went with a raspberry tart cookie thing (I need to ask what they call it) which was to die for and a chocolate brownie that I shared with one of my nieces (and by share I mean I had 1 bite before she took it and shoved it in her mouth). I also ordered a cake for a b-day party tomorrow and have really high hopes for it (I'll let you know later how it turns out). I haven't yet tried the donuts but I hear that they are the real highlight of the bakery.
The thing I don't understand is how I have lived in this area for years and years and years but I've never been to this bakery--then again I spent my youth in this area (Utah Valley) and didn't even hear about EFY until I was a freshman in college--I must just be out of the loop. I think I need to do a better job of getting out and about in my local area. I mean really, when I travel I research a place to death so that I know exactly where I want to go and eat but when it comes to my hometown area I know so little. Why do we do that?

Don't feel bad. When I read the title for your post I thought "what bakery?" I had no idea either, but you can bet that I am going to find this place! I know that I was born in this area and still know very little about the fun stuff to do. I did take my family to the Children's Museum in SL (I think it is offically called the Discovery something or other) last week and they LOVED it. It was a little pricey but well worth it. This was our second time-the first time we stayed the whole day and really got our money's worth. I would love to hear about any other things you find around here.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the Children's Museum in SL yet so it is good to hear that it is a good one.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your cake, I bet it will taste great!
ReplyDeleteYea, I've never heard of it either. But it sounds so yummy. I feel like Provo and Orem have changed so much since we graduated.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you!
