Quiche version 2.0 from Sweet Pea Bakery

Bacon, apple and cheddar quiche

This is an update to an earlier post. Carrie had some great quiche out last week. They were selling well and they tasted great, but we weren’t happy with the presentation. There are plenty of places to get a sad, rubbery looking slice of quiche, and we didn’t want to be just one more.

But how to make it a real Sweet Pea treat, on par with our popular desserts? After some experimentation we decided on a personal-size quiche, made in the same style tart pans we would use to make a fresh fruit tart. Using this method also allows us to offer whole quiche in larger sizes to feed the crowd at your next brunch.

We find the crust holds up better, and is better balanced with the amount of filling. They are easier to serve, and the whole thing just looks nicer. Stop into Sweet Pea Bakery today to pick up one of your own, or call ahead to have one made up for the family. Our number is 586-8200 and we’re here from 7am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. We hope to see you soon!

Your patience rewarded! Cinnamon rolls debut today.

It’s finally time for Cinnamon Rolls! After a week of test batches, Sweet Pea Bakery’s Maple-glazed Cinnamon Rolls are ready for prime time. We know that in bringing back morning pastries to the Sweet Pea line-up, we have some big shoes to fill, even if they are our own shoes. That’s why we appreciate your patience while we got things right. We even found our old morning baker Nathan in the deep woods of Western Montana and encouraged him to re-join civilization long enough to help us perfect a pastry menu that lives up to what we all remember.

So, join us today and every day (except Sunday) for a warm, sticky Cinnamon Roll, some hearty granola, or one of our baked-from-scratch muffins and scones. And stay tuned to this page for more developments from our early shift. We’ll be adding a daily quiche and some bread puddings as soon as we’re satisfied with those, too. Which means soon. Really it does!

Special thanks to our friends at All Things Italian for being extra patient on this matter.

Two classics done right: Banana Cream tarts and Carrot Cake, today @ Sweet Pea

Special today at Sweet Pea Bakery in Bozeman, find two classic desserts done right!

We’ve baked up some of Carrie’s “Best Ever” Carrot cake, made with organic carrots, local flour and eggs. We grind the spices fresh for the best flavor, and finish it with a simple Cream Cheese frosting.

Right next to Carrot Cake in the display, we have one of life’s simple pleasures: the great taste of banana cream pie on our classic shortbread crust. We use a little dark chocolate ganache, some vanilla pastry cream and top it all off with organic bananas and fresh organic whipped cream. It’s just like you remember, maybe better!

Both of these classic treats are available while they last today at Sweet Pea Bakery. Visit us at 2622 West Main in Bozeman, next to Wild Birds Unlimited, or call us ahead at 586-8200 so we can set one aside for you.
