* Hearty bread from freshly milled grain *…read more Entering this bakery you see a glass window protecting a wooden grain mill where they were milling grain to freshly make the flours for their bread. Can't get fresher than that! They started their business far away from the Okanagan in Cowichan Bay back in 2004. Recently they opened up this new second location in the heart of the Okanagan on Main Street in Summerland. They have a variety of organic grains available including red fife, spelt, and rye. And they also have some that weren't labeled as organic, but seem to come from cleaner sources including Kamut and a series of Vancouver Island Red Spring wheats from smaller farms. The rye bread looked delicious - so couldn't resist getting a loaf. It had a superb crust and a dense crumb. It was dusted in flour (perhaps just a tad too much, but I'm nitpicking). There was a slight sourdough flavour which enhanced the flavour profile nicely.

I was so excited when we picked our cakes up for a party we were throwing in Summerland. My…read morestep-mom had heard about Blue Icing and had seen their amazing cakes. The place was cute and had a variety of gourmet looking cupcakes and specialty cakes. When we arrived, our cakes were ready to go and looked really good. (see photos). Both cakes had a 'spilled martini glass' theme with olives, etc... The smaller cake was supposed to be chocolate with raspberry and the larger sheet cake was lemon. I guess people must buy these cakes for looks only. They held up really well in the transport of the cakes to the party. The birthday boy was impressed with how they looked as was everyone else at the party. The problem came when we went to taste them. They weren't good. The larger lemon cake was incredibly dry. It even looked a little overcooked when you saw the cake itself. The chocolate cake was much more moist but there was no raspberry. There was some other type of frosting between layers. I don't know if they just messed up or there was a miscommunication, but there was definitely no raspberry. I love cake and I especially love chocolate cake (check out what my last meal on earth would be on my Yelp profile), but this cake was just not good. It didn't taste awful, it just wasn't worth eating. I took one bite and I was done. In the end we were left with two cakes that no one wanted to take home. No one at the party wanted pieces to go and I think the cake it still sitting uneaten somewhere. A very weak 3 stars for very nice presentation but cake you just don't care to eat.
