The Bakery at Sullivan University

I am quickly falling in love with The Bakery across the street from Sullivan University's main campus in Louisville.  Without a doubt, each time I stop in, I'm very impressed.  I especially appreciate the fact that I can take a seat and enjoy a short break while I snack on an excellent edible creation all the while observing the pastry students preparing and perfecting baked goods and pastries in the next room from behind a large glass picture window.  I took this quote from The Bakery's website at http://www.sullivan.edu/bakery/index.asp and it reads: "The Bakery produces a wonderful variety of specialty baked goods, pastries, cookies and candies."  While this is a great description, you really have to stop in and see it for yourself.  The blueberry danish is my favorite sweet pastry so far, but I've only just begun my journey of tasting all the tempting treats The Bakery has to offer.  The strawberry parfait with homemade granola is a perfect snack if you're on the go between classes.  It really hits the spot!  Yogurt paired with fresh fruit is always a healthy option, in my opinion.  I've yet to try any of the fresh baked breads they offer, but those are up next on my list.  The breads are so reasonably priced that there is absolutely no reason for anyone to buy breads from anywhere else.  Also, just about every item The Bakery has to offer is carefully organized and beautifully displayed within their deli cases.  I almost forgot to mention that ALL the baked goods The Bakery has for sale are prepared fresh and in house!!  And the fact that they can build your dream wedding cake is truly a dream come true!  I'm so relieved knowing that I'll have one less thing to worry about on special day because I trust The Bakery will carefully create my flawless and one of a kind dream wedding cake.  But even after reading all this, don't take my word for it, head on over and see The Bakery for yourself.  I'm confident you'll be pleasantly surprised.  Believe me, you'll wish you had stumbled upon this little gem sooner.  And as you bare witness, just as I have, you'll understand that their baking and pastry items are more than just everyday consumables, they are true culinary works of art The Bakery has skillfully mastered!!  I honestly believe The Bakery has discovered the perfect blend, balance, and combination of art, flavor, food, and science.  Anyway, do yourself a favor, go and enjoy!! You can thank me later. ;)
