Ah, SusiLicious Bakeshop - now this is the tale of all tales!
Two years ago, I won a pair of tickets to go to the Mango Festival at Fairchild thanks to Yelp. I went there and spent the day walking around the beautiful gardens and perusing many stands full of treats. Among them was this lovely vendor, where I got to sample a mango-infused bread but even more delicious still was the banana chocolate chunk bread.
I bought a bread or two on the spot. I fell in love so deeply with her bread that I did my research and found out that she sold products at Milam's Market. I had never stepped inside of one previously, but this adventure led me to the gourmet store, and also, to trying her chocolate chip cookies and merenguitos (the latter of which I only tried this past weekend thanks to another visit to Milam's Market).
At the time, in order to get her products, you either had to get lucky at a festival or farmers' market, go to a gourmet shop, or special order them. Seeing as I didn't and still don't have Facebook or Instagram, it was a bit of a problem. Eventually I ran into her again at yet another festival (yes, I'm aware I live at these things) and got her website. I figured I would order from there eventually and it took me awhile, but I finally did!
For Mother's Day 2020, I decided to treat both my boyfriend's mother and myself to these goodies. I ordered a gift set with a banana chocolate chunk bread, chocolate chip cookies, and merenguitos for my boyfriend's mother. For myself, I ordered two banana chocolate chunk breads. Susi delivered both in a timely fashion in cute little bags. Not to mention that she's currently offering free delivery until the end of the month, so win-win situation really.
If you want her cookies or merenguitos, they're easy to find at stores she's partnered up with. For breads, cakes, and even pies, check out her website. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to her. She's super friendly and welcoming, providing exemplary customer service. I absolutely think she's a doll and that her products are amazing. In fact, I know I just made an order last week, but I'm already thinking of ordering more. I have a friend or two who live out of town who I'm sure would love her stuff, and well, guess what? She ships her products as well! read more
