Deli Delicacies
Bakery & Bistro in Lakeland Florida
When we first came to Lakeland to bring our daughter to college her freshman year, we visited this deli/bakery. I never forgot it. On our visit last week to Lakeland, we returned to this wonderful place. I had never stopped thinking about it.
This year the sample cakes that line the small dining area were different. I especially like the details on this one. I thought it would be unique for a bridal shower.
Here are some nice designs in more traditional shapes.
This cake really attracted my attention! I love pearls and enjoy looking at them whenever I can. If I was going to have a special cake, especially in Florida, I would love to have this!
The cake in the center here, looks very much like one that a cousin had at her wedding this summer. She had a movie kind of theme.
Yellow is a favorite color of mine, and this cake seemed especially beautiful and cheery.
When you walk into this place, you are struck by the warmth of it. The wonderful smells of sugary goodness, the kind smiles you are greeted with and also the virtual smorgasbord of eye candy! The deli salads, the sandwiches, the hot foods, the cakes, the pies, the cannolis...
You see why I wanted to come back. Now that I have been there again, I might be able to stop thinking about it!
Ode to Sweet Things
The smile on your face
betrays your delight,
you smell the fresh
baked goods,
the baker was up all night!
It is morning and time for a break,
a hot cup of coffee and
a sugar filled treat.
No one can tell you,
that even this is not
as sweet as you really are,
nor certainly as "hot"...
Special thanks to my dear husband for taking me back there for a lovely, mini cannoli!

The wedding cake is a tradition that began in the Roman Empire. At the time, it was a loaf of bread that the groom broke over the bride's head as a symbol of his dominance in the marriage and over her.[dubious – discuss] The color of the cake is typically white to symbolize purity. The action of the bride and groom cutting the cake is meant to symbolize their first joint task in married life. The gesture of feeding cake to one another is a symbol of the commitment the bride and groom are making.
One of the earliest forms of the wedding cake is the French Croquembouche. The legend of this cake says that a pastry chef, visiting medieval England, witnessed their tradition of piling sweet rolls between the bride and groom which they would attempt to kiss over without knocking them all down. The pastry chef then went back to France and piled sweet rolls up into a tower to make the first Croquembouche.[2] From Wikipedia
