I guess you can call these pies. Or meals. You do you! These pies are not the 2 incher you get at Meijers. These fruit pies have a whole tree of fruit packed in. They're fresh and flavorful. They weigh a ton! Really delish. They also have empanadas but we haven't tried those yet. I'm planning on tricking my wife that I'm picking up dinner and arrive home with the combo meal! This is a family business so don't get all snotty if they're out of your #1 choice. Try something else, which you'll love, and use it as an excuse to come back another time!

THE. MOST. DELICIOUS. PASTRIES. EVER…read more On our roadtrip, we stopped at the Crooked Tree looking for a local coffee shop. What greeted us was the most delightful case of pastries and loaves of breads. This is a bakery with no seating. Looks to be a large operation that might deliver breads and baked goods locally. There is a bread case, a pastry case, and lots of merch. A very patient young lady was working the counter on the morning we stopped. It took me a while to decide because I wanted one of everything, but had no business doing that! She patiently and quietly waited. Finally, I settled on a ham and cheese croissant and a cherry and white chocolate scone. My husband had a raspberry danish. I did get a drip coffee in the end. The ham and cheese croissant was crisp and flaky with the perfect balance of hame and gruyere. I have not had a scone this good. Ever. Not even in Ireland! If you "do not like scones," these are worth the try! We snacked on the pastries in the car so along with Lake Michigan sand, my car now has lots of flakes of our delicious pastries. Like sand, it's impossible not to leave remnants of the goodness behind. Tip: if you are not local, buy more than you need!! I wish I had.

I remember stopping in as…read morea kid when I spent time each summer in Northern MI, and I don't think it has changed much since then (we'll just say that was the 1990's for now). I recently stopped in on July 4th and picked up a dozen red, white and blue decorated cookies to bring to a friend's house that was entertaining. I found some with fireworks decorations and some with smiley faces. Needless to say, they were well received by the hostess and the guests enjoyed them. Even on a busy holiday morning, there were delicious looking donuts and baked goods, and the aroma brought back all kinds of emotions from my childhood too. Johan's is old school but that never goes out of style. Service was not the friendliest but it was not bad. You order at the counter and pay and you're out... easy peasy. While I took my cookies to go, there are some tables outside if you wanted to sit down for a few and enjoy your treats there. If you're in the area, definitely stop by Johan's for a tasty pastry (or two) and cup of coffee!

While searching for a baker for our wedding, I got a chance to try and meet a few bakers from the…read morebridal show in Charlevoix. Because there were so many, I ended up getting a couple of the bakers confused. But regardless, I made an appointment for my fiancé (ATT) and I to head up north for a couple tasting appointments. Again, to my surprise, this location was at the baker's home, which was gorgeous! It sat behind a lake and we entered through the back door that led straight into the kitchen. You could definitely tell that this baker knew what she was doing because everything was laid out beautifully and organized. We had one of the last appointments and thought we would be sitting one-on-one with the baker, but noticed it was more like a tasting buffet, where we got to mix and match different flavor cakes and frostings, which was nice because we could talk about each one in private. There was a couple girls assisting the couples and available for any questions we had and even had several binders full of past wedding/celebration cakes. My personal favorite was the vanilla bean cake but had a hard time choosing a frosting. Personally, the frosting was a bit too sweet for me. We ended up not going with BED for our wedding, but definitely thought the price was similar to the bakers around northern Michigan. I believe there was an minimum of $250 that we had to spend, especially because it was going to be delivered to Castle Farms in Charlevoix, which isn't bad. But we ended up going with a baker in SE Michigan for $150 for the same amount of cake/cupcakes for 50-60 people.
