It’s the last day of Camp Bread. We had a great time meeting everyone. So many amazing classes that ranged from hands on bread and pastry to dumplings, doughnuts and flatbreads. We enjoyed the Business classes and using all the cool equipment Most of all we enjoyed spending time with our bread friends.
Cheers and hope to see you all again soon!

Today’s highlight is this amazing German chocolate cake!
Made with rich and moist dark chocolate cake, milk chocolate mousse, German chocolate cake filling, filled to the brim with toasted coconut and pecans. Glazed with a super chocolaty ganache and topped with toasted coconut and cocoa nibs.
This perfect cake is paired with a bourbon barrel aged German chocolate cake stout called the Nihilist. If you are a long time customer you may remember this amazing beer from the beginning of the beer lab. At 14% abv it hits hard but you would never know from the balance flavor. Dangerous!!!!
Come and join us this Thursday the 11th at the Wrigley Beer Lab on Willow or Sunday the 14th at the Zaferia Beer Lab on Anaheim to get a taste of this amazing pairing.
Cheers to beer and pastry!

Happy National Sourdough Day!
We're feeling extra cheery because we are CRAZY about sourdough and hope you are too!
There's nothing quite like the feeling of putting your hands in a bowl of sticky dough and knowing that it'll be transformed into a warm, flaky loaf.

The tiny air pockets that give sourdough its distinct texture, the subtle tanginess that tickles your nose and then delights your taste buds—we find this opportunity to create something truly unique, beautiful and delicious.

Here's a TOAST to all the bread lovers out there! 🍻🍞❤️
