Considering how many bakeries have been done in the Golden Horseshoe, it's pretty unbelievable that the town of Beamsville has never been mapped on the Cake Tour -- well, that's all about to change with the addition of two new posts, this being the first. Yay! ^^
Beamsville Bakery is a bakery specializing in Dutch baked goods, with a few cakes and more Canadian classics. The selection was pretty big and featured traditional cookies, squares and tarts, along with small pastries laden with whipped cream, almond, and marzipan. But on a busy Saturday afternoon, everyone in store was going for the doughnuts, and so this time I decided to follow suit.
So, it was another half dozen for the sampling: apple fritters, Dutchies, sugar twist and a blueberry jelly doughnut. The highlight was definitely the Dutchie -- I mean, a Dutchie at a Dutch bakery better be good and everyone seemed to know it: it was by far the top seller while there. Everyone was getting them! This one has to be one of the best Dutchies you can get. Rolled round like a cinnamon roll, it was stuffed with raisins and perfectly glazed. Fluffy dough and incredibly tasty.
Coming in at a close second was the apple fritter. More delicious fried dough, but more in the shape of a ball, slightly different than the flatter varieties. That allowed for a fluffy, yet still denser dough with more of than yummy glaze on top and filled with chunks of apple. So good! Same goes for the sugar twist: simple and tasty with just a coating of granulated sugar.
The least exciting, but still good, was the blueberry jelly doughnut, a baked doughnut with powdered sugar and just too much blueberry jam inside; I could almost say it was more jelly than doughnut.
A great find of a bakery -- these doughnuts are worth getting off the highway for and away from those rest stops. ;)
