I saw a delightful interview with Karen, the owner and pastry chef of Bisousweet Confections on a local TV news channel a couple of days ago. She was animated and excited with the descriptions of her products and I knew right then that my sweet tooth had to try a few of them. I went to their website hoping to find that they could mail me some of the items I wanted, and was thrilled to find that they did! I ordered the Cinnamon Donut Muffins, the Lemon Poppyseed Donut Muffins, the Cranberry-Orange soft biscottis and the fudge brownies. They arrived in two days (!) and I couldn't believe how fresh each item was! You get nine donut muffins in each container and they are a good bit bigger and heavier than, say, a mini muffin, and they look kind of like large donut holes. My 38 year old son devoured two of the cinnamon donut muffins and would have eaten the whole lot, but I yanked the container from him. I had one of them, too, and swooned at how buttery and tender and scrumptious it was. Then I took a bite of one of the lemon-poppyseed ones and loved the slightly crunchy sugary, lemony outside of it and its moist, tender cake loaded with poppyseeds on the inside. Sublime! Later, I cut off a small bite of the chocolate fudge brownie and about fainted with how it was almost more like a thick chocolate ganache tender candy on the inside with a thin brownie-consistency on the top and bottom. Unbelievably delicious! This morning I had a hot latte and had to try the cranberry-orange soft biscotti. (I hate those hard, dry biscottis and nearly broke a tooth on one, so wanted to try Karen's soft biscottis.) This was so delicious (even without being dipped in my coffee) that I ate about half of it without dipping it! The cranberries were soft and moist and the flavor of the oranges was just right. They were firm, not crumbly, and dunked really well, and eaten just plain they were also absolutely yummy. I highly recommend this outstanding bakery based on the four items I tried and I will definitely order again and expand my list! I hope they will find a way to mail the cupcakes, too. My package arrived in perfect condition and Karen actually enclosed a hand-written note thanking me for my order and sent me her business card for easy reference! This is truly a well-run bakery with a caring owner-chef who knows how to make a perfect product! I wish they were closer to the Danvers-Beverly-Peabody area so I could go often for a morning treat! read more
