Our favorite time of year, although undoubtedly our most demanding, is Christmastime. Each shop is dressed to match the season and those once-a-year sweet and savory baked goods make their way to the counters and bread shelves. Holiday gatherings wouldn’t be quite the same without our show-stopping Buche de Noel or festive Panettone on the table. So before you declare that new year’s resolution diet, indulge in all that we have to offer. Pre-order for Christmas — today!
