Thanksgiving Breads

Thanksgiving always seems to be a big “bread Holiday”, and we have some of the most delicious varieties available at Toni!

We freshly bake our bread from scratch, and our Pumpkin Pecan Cranberry Bread and Rolls are very popular for Thanksgiving. This bread is not only tasty with Thanksgiving dinner, but also wonderful when used as a sandwich with leftover turkey!

We offer this sandwich at our store with a cranberry shallot relish (from Earth & Vine Provisions, available for sale at Toni!) and cream cheese. It is an excellent flavor combination and we will have it available through Christmas!



Our unique Green Onion Cheddar bread and rolls, spice up your bread basket at Thanksgiving dinner, and also taste great with other meals like chili or stew.

Thanksgiving 2009

It’s hard to believe it is November already, and Thanksgiving is only few weeks away!

We’re really excited about the new items on our menu this year, including the Apple Fig Tart in Walnut Crust. These fall flavors go together so well, and it’s a new spin on a more traditional dessert.

Another new item is our Pumpkin Pecan Cranberry Bread Pudding. We’ve been trying to sample it in the store every weekend, because the look of it doesn’t even begin to describe the taste!

We sample it at room temperature with a dollop of our house-made bourbon sauce, but this dessert is simply decadent when you heat it up, slice and plate it, then drizzle the bourbon sauce on top.

Every year our Pumpkin Mascarpone Roulade is one of our biggest sellers. This light, moist pumpkin cake rolls up around rich mascarpone cream and then drizzled with a deliciously sinful cinnamon glaze on top. Shimmery fondant fall-colored leaves dress up this dessert, and it is not only wonderful to serve at your own party, but to bring it to other parties as well!

And don’t forget the classic Pumpkin, Apple, or Cherry Streusel Pies that are all to die for!
