There are few sensory experiences that can rival what happens when you step inside an Italian bakery.
The sites, smells and tastes are an incredible experience. The breads, cakes, and pastries not only look and smell good, they also taste marvelous.
There are bakeries like this all over the country. From Brooklyn, N.Y. to Chicago, from Miami to Los Angeles, you can find an Italian bakery near you.
When I grew up in Brooklyn we begged for pastries from the local bakery and as our Irish cousins got married we learned about the wonderful talented cake designers and cake decorators who did their wedding cakes.
To this day I can’t pass up bakery that has Napoleans. Tiramisu is another wonderful offering you can find at a good Italian bakery.
