What's Cooking At Bonni Bakes

Each year, as part of the Village of the Arts Garden Tour, I open my house to visitors. It's located behind BONNI BAKES, facing the back garden. I designed and built it a few years ago and call it "The TreeHouse" because of the Haas avocado tree that hugs one side.

Although it is less than 1000 sq feet, it feels much larger. I incorporated a lot of new features including a ductless split air conditioning system, glass block in the bamboo floor, plexiglass windows, tankless hot water heater and counter depth refrigerator. I hope it will inspire others to see that a small house can be much more than just a little box.

You can visit on April 1 & 2, 2011 from 11-4. For more information or driving instructions call me at 941-746-6647 or email bonnibakes@gmail.com

WELCOME TO BONNI BAKES, MY ECLECTIC BAKERY/CAFE where everything is made from scratch using the freshest ingredients available. We're open for lunch Thurs-Sat 11-2, monthly ArtWalks, Village events and special dinners.

As a former New Yorker I like to augment my basic menu with items that reflect ethnic foods & trends I miss from NYC. In the past that has included "real" bagels, Asian summer rolls, Russian stuffed cabbage, corned beef on homemade sour rye, trendy salads, sliders, rugelach, black & white cookies, etc. Below is my basic weekly menu. To find out about this week's special additions call 746-6647 or join our email list. My weekly email includes menu details, info about special events, updates of what's happening in The Village and other observations.
