Food Network’s “Road Tasted with the Neelys” visits Bozeman foodies.

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

A few weeks ago Sweet Pea Bakery entertained some special guests: Gina and Pat Neely from the Food Network program “Road Tasted with the Neelys”. They stopped in to spend some time with our own Carrie O, baking and tasting some of her amazing Key Lime Torte.

Key Lime Pie should not be green!

Of course they found plenty of great locally-produced treats around the valley, and will be featuring four local foodies on an episode which will first air on the evening of Tuesday, September 16th. The Food Network is cable channel 49 in Bozeman. Here is the press release from the network, but be sure to check your local listings or on-screen guide for the precise air times.

Premiering September 16th at 9:30pm ET/PT

Montana: Big Taste in Big Sky Country

Pat and Gina take on Montana, and the first stop is Amaltheia Organic Dairy where they watch the state’s best goat’s milk transform into feta and ricotta cheese. At Sweet Pea Bakery, the Key Lime Torte is a delicious cross between a key lime pie and a cheesecake. Celtic Sea Salt® Caramel, a familiar treat with a unique twist, is an award-winning success at Bequet Confections. Lastly, it’s Wild Sockeye Salmon Spread at Montana Mountain Smoke.

Please tune in on Tuesday the 16th to show your support for these locally-owned businesses and to learn more about some of the amazing goodies being made every day right where you live.

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Sweet Pea Bakery is proud to announce our fearless leader and head pastry chef, Carrie O, is featured in the current issue of the national trade magazine American Cake Decorating. Carrie was interviewed about the business of cake decorating, and the challenges and rewards of being a small business owner. The article ran to three pages and is filled with great color photos taken from the bakery’s own archives.

Congratulations to Carrie on her achievement. We couldn’t be more proud, but we’re not all that surprised. Her elegant and delicious desserts have been Bozeman’s favorite for years, and it was only a matter of time until the rest of the world caught on.

Unfortunately, the magazine isn’t available locally! You can order the August/September issue from the ACD website, or stop in to the bakery to get a copy of the article. Be sure to congratulate Carrie while you are there.
