Where was The Suisse Shop when I was choosing wedding cake? The answer is: Polaris Parkway, where they’ve been located since 2003, quietly dominating the Columbus wedding cake market. And actually, wedding cake is just one thing they’ve perfected. Perfection is the name of The Suisse Shop’s game and as much as it sounds like hyperbole, all of The Suisse Shop’s offerings are flawless. They hit a magical point of balance with each product, never being overly rich or cloying texture while still offering an amazing flavor profile. [Read More]

Bakery Gingham will be expanding for the second time in 2009 as they prepare to open a new Short North retail store at 647 North High Street. “The plan is to open in November,” said owner and baker Amanda Ellis, “but it depends on city inspections.”

The 500 square foot retail space will feature all of the cupcakes, cookies, bars, and other baked goods that Gingham has come to be known for. Additionally, Amanda will continue to offer larger custom-made cakes for special events. “We’re excited to be on Wedding Row,” she added, dubbing the area that is already home to Big Rock Little Rooster, Jacob Neal, and Rose Bredl Flowers.

Update (10/27/09) - The new Short North Location will be opening on Sat Oct 31st!

Couple of miscellaneous food blogging updates over the past week… Hungrywoolf catches up on some backlogged content that includes dinner at The Refectory, Wine & Cheese at the Hills Market, and a Pattycake Bakery event at Wild Goose Creative. 52WeeksofBaking has posted a two-in-one bakery review of Piece of Cake and Bakery Gingham. CMH Gourmand has got all of the details on the Details Minibar & Lounge. And the Foodcasters are back with a new episode all about tomatoes.

Last night we hosted a cocktail party with a buffet of little bites. We wanted to feature a beautiful Berkshire Heritage ham and rare beef tenderloin in an easy to manage format to allow our guests to converse and eat while they stood. A regular bun or roll didn’t seem to do justice to these lovely meats. Brioche would match nicely, we thought. [Read More]

Amanda Ellis has begun to take her Bakery Gingham from its 220-square-foot closet at 900 Mohawk St. in German Village south across Schiller Park to Thurman Avenue, where she’ll luxuriate in a 1,200-square-foot space.

The new shop is next to the Thurman Cafe, but don’t go looking for her there yet. Ellis doesn’t expect to complete the move before German Village’s annual Village Lights, scheduled for Dec. 7.

Ellis needs the space not only to handle walk-in customers who crave her cupcakes, but also to deal with wholesale work for the Kickstart coffeehouse in the Short North and Super Suppers in Hilliard.
