eat make read

Since we had a rental car last weekend we thought we’d take full advantage of it and make a trip to Fairway. On the way we passed the bakery, Baked and I knew we’d have to stop. I’ve seen them mentioned on Martha as well as Saipua (who was unfortunately but understandably closed) and let me tell you, it lived up to the talk. We ordered two treats, a red velvet cupcake with cinnamon buttercream and the most amazing baked good ever, a grasshopper bar. I just need to take a second to talk about this bar… just imagine a rich brownie crust under a half inch layer of créme de menthe buttercream all topped with a chocolate glaze. Are you drooling yet? Because I am.

If you find yourself in red hook, maybe at the red hook ballfields or Alma, do yourself a favor and stop by baked for a little dessert.
