Magic and Uplifted through pastries

Three years ago my neighbor told me about the “perfect treat”… kouign-amann.  But didn’t know where she got it.  As a self-described “experimental baker”,  and a variety of salty attempts, my internet searches brought me to Les Madeleines.  It was the perfect treat.

Since that day, I’d come and try other pastries… all perfect.  Recently I quickly jumped in my car, in a hurry, and found that my order was wrong.  But I ate it anyway and it was still amazing.

One year ago, I sat outside LDS hospital, unable to visit my mother when she had COVID, eating kouign-amann. Don’t worry, I shared later after she spent weeks in the hospital.

Every time a drove an hour to Les Madeleines thinking about the hundred or so bakeries I was passing that were closer to my home, I knew what I found get at the end was always worth it.

I have loved finding excuses to visit, and knowing that I was recommending a place to friends and acquaintances that was amazing.  Best wishes in your next adventure!
