IN Penn Hills Spring 2019 | Page 6

FROM THE PUBLISHER Welcome to the spring issue of IN Penn Hills. My family and colleagues can attest that I love chocolate, but one of my favorite sweet treats is a red velvet cupcake from Bartram House Bakery. Every city has its beloved local bakeries—and Pittsburgh is no exception. There are dozens of locally owned bakeries north, south, east and west of the city—including three authentic French patisseries. Most of us have a favorite—each unique and special—with pastry cases overflowing with a variety of wedding and birthday cakes, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, pies, pastries and breads. In celebration of the service our local bakers provide, don’t miss this issue’s feature, “Cookies, Pastries, Pies, Oh My!” Now that spring’s around the corner, it’s time to say goodbye to Old Man Winter. Don’t miss our spring events guide that brings lots of opportunities for family fun in your community. Happy Spring & Bon Appetit! Wayne Dollard SEND US YOUR PHOTOS! SEND US YOUR STORY IDEAS!
