Look around. Chainstore consolidation and freezer trucks have made the
handmade B-day cake or an all butter brioche about as easy to come by as a box of Cuban cigars. Well, basic economics
says that when the powers that be deny us the good stuff, "unconventional" markets will arise. Resistance is futile.
Cakes made from scratch with flavors ranging from the exotic to the nostalgic. Savory focaccia pockets filled with sauteed eggplant & tomato or cheddar, shallots & crimini mushrooms. Florentines brimming with
almonds, cranberries & candied ginger. All butter croissants enclosing a
blast of Belgian dark chocolate. With our CIA-trained pastry chef Rachel Marie (the Culinary Institute of America, we think...), the Blackmarket Bakery can hook you up with things you probably didn't
know existed. Maybe you've got a special someone that you want to impress; or maybe you deserve a Real Treat.
So if you think chocolate and a sense of humor are a little better on the darker side, you may just find what you need on
the Blackmarket.
