Given how long ago I made the announcement below, this review is a bit overdue, though, to be fair, I have been going in order. So, here it is:

Golden Flour is one of two bakeries in walking distance to each other. Did I mention they both have poppy seed baked goods? Yes, I noticed the poppy ring too late, but it was nonetheless there. Besides that, they had a large, downright overwhelming selection of yummy items. Apple fritters, muffins, cakes, pastries, etc. Pair that up with the other one in town and you could have a different treat for a whole month!

 With so much selection, a variety had to be tried. Three items, to be exact. The first was a bag of doughnut holes ($2.50). Soft sponge-like cake doughnuts with no sugar or glaze, nor is it really needed to appreciate the moist, sponge-like, bite-size dough. While cake doughnuts aren't my favourite and one sampler called them too boring, I liked these simple treats and they seem perfect after you've kind of... overindulged; they're almost good for you. ;D

Speaking of almost good for you: the sticky carrot muffin ($0.95). For a muffin this cheap, the first thing you'd expect is just run-of-the-mill batter poured into muffin tins. These were, however, amazing muffins. Loaded, literally overstuffed with carrots and coated in this sticky glaze that kept the inside moist and still didn't manage to veer towards being too sweet and cake-like. One of the best muffins ever tested!

Last but not least, there was the rum roll ($1.85), a thin nutty pastry roll stuffed with a rum-infused cream and drizzled with chocolate. Now, there was nothing healthy about this one, ha ha ha! Delicious cream, nice crunchy pastry -- a tasty combination.
