Periwinkle’s Bakery

I haven’t been in it, but I have tried there goods from the Rochester deli next door. I have tried her cupcakes (moist and delicious), there cookies (crumply, and sweet) and there chocolate covered rice crispy that was to die for (peanutbutter, chocolate layer, around a crisp marshmallow treat, yum!)
If you have a sweet tooth and 3 dollars give it a go!

We had maxed out our usual delivery places, so I told one of my colleagues to order from Rochester Deli and I would go pick it up. As I walked toward Rochester, I noticed the new bakery next door. Inside the deli, they had cards for the bakery and as I was talking with the cashier she had mentioned that the bakery is owned by the same ladies that bake the desserts for Rochester, but the kitchen at Rochester is a bit too small so they expanded. I was told that the Turtle Brownie was one to check out.
So I decided to just pop in before heading back to the office with lunch. As I walked in, the first things I saw were donuts and bread (Banana Bread maybe). I overheard the young lady behind the counter telling the other people in there that they had been open since October and were doing pretty well. They do have a cooler with drinks, but also have whole pies and cakes for your purchasing delight.
I turned my focus to the cookies, bars, and brownies. Some of the items looked familiar to what is at Rochester, but I did see the HUGE Turtle Brownies. I also saw the mini Turtle Cheesecakes with a chocolate covered strawberry on top. What made me decide to purchase one of each… the price! The brownie was $ 2.50 and the Mini Cheesecake (I will upload a picture) was $ 4.50. What a bargain!
The brownie was for my colleague, but she did offer me a piece. Wow was it rich! I didn’t taste much of the caramel, but there must have been something a bit fruity in the display case because it had picked up the flavor of something else. The cheesecake… it looked lovely! The strawberry was very tasty. I decided to behave and cut the mini cheesecake like a regular cake with small wedges. I had one small wedge tonight. While I’m not sure why it was labeled Mini Turtle Cheesecake (there was chocolate on the cheesecake, but no caramel or nuts), it was smooth and rich. I am kind of glad that there wasn’t much else on the cheesecake because I think it would have been too much!
I really hope to go back to the bakery to try more goodies :)
