Baked Goods

The Backdoor Bakery uses only the freshest ingredients available to make its hand-made, from-scratch baked goods every day. I take pride in choosing locally produced and/or organic ingredients whenever possible - Cabot butter, VT eggs and cheeses, King Arthur flours; I even "gather" my own fresh milk from the neighborhood cow, Spring, when I have the time.

Croissants – a classic French pastry that's flaky, tender, buttery and rich. Croissants are the Backdoor Bakery's signature product, and are available each day in a variety of flavors: Plain, Chocolate, Cheese, Cheese, Almond, Cinnamon-Raisin.

Cakes & Tarts — while cakes and tarts are available at the bakery only on special occasions (e.g., dessert nights), we are happy to satisfy any special order.

    Fresh Fruit Tart – a sweet and tender crust filled with a creamy custard filling – vanilla, lemon, or hazelnut – and topped with fresh fruit.
