While there is an actual, "proper" bakery in Hope, it's already been done, so broadening the horizons was necessary. ;) Blue Moose is a coffee shop first that likewise sells a smaller selection of baked goods (in keeping with the fact that they are a cafe) made by them along with sandwiches and other 'lunch stuff'. Of course, no one was there for lunch this time around and it was straight to the baked goodies.

These, essentially, didn't look as enticing as I had hoped; more specifically, I went with the date square, because the other baked goods, like their cinnamon buns, looked a bit dry. A date square is always a good choice in cases like this, and I do like date squares. Anyways, it pretty much tasted like it looked: alright. The proportions were a bit off, with the date filling and maybe most of the crumble layer being too thin, especially in comparison to that giant chunk of crumble plopped right in the middle like a boulder from an avalanche. It was easily the same size as the entire square. Still, not bad: not too sweet and, though oversized, the crumble was probably the highlight of the square.
