Gettin’ Baked in Brooklyn…
No, not that kind of baked!
A better kind of baked.
My kind of baked.
All hopped up on sugar and chocolate and salted caramel! Woohoo!
Strudel and I have blogged about recipes from Baked Explorations – again and again and again. One of my favorite bloggers has blogged about Baked as well, check it out!
Alas, last week I finally got the chance to go visit Baked in person.
My brother, Matt, lives in Somerset, New Jersey, and my daughter, Addison, and I were spending our last official week of summer with Matt, his wife Bree and my 5 month old nephew, Jack.
So Matt, Jack, Addison and I ventured over the Verrazano Bridge to Brooklyn and stuffed our faces with some wonderful delights!
It’s off the beaten path in a Brooklyn neighborhood called Red Hook.
It’s a quaint, very inviting, very home-y feeling bakery with brown and orange decor and antlers here and there (even as a door handle). Being from Colorado, the antlers were a strange and unexpected motif for me. They are overused in fancy homes and restaurants in the Rocky Mountains but here in the middle of a gray day in the big city? I felt strangely at home.
We dove right into the bakery case and bought a giant chocolate chip cookie, a pecan bourbon bar, a grasshopper bar (stay tuned for a post about this scrumptious treat) and a salted caramel bar.
Matt had a cappuccino, I had a latte.
Here’s Addison gettin’ baked…

Jack (and George) already baked…
My favorite…
The salted caramel bar. Deeeelightful!
Next time you’re in the Brooklyn area, go check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
