Paska Bread

Mar 302012

Hey, I made the first Paska bread of the season today. I had planned on taking a picture of them when they came out of the oven, but I forgot the camera.

So, plan ‘B’ was to post an online photo, but I can’t find any that look like our Paska bread. We egg-wash ours then mark it with hot-cross topping. It looks like a gigantic hot-cross bun.

Are we the only bakery that makes them like that? I hope so…I like being different.

Get ‘em while they’re hot!

I just wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU for making our gorgeous cake for my husband’s 40th Birthday party. The cake was delicious but what I was absolutely WOWED by was the cake design. I requested a casino style cake and I could not believe the amount of work and detail that went into this cake. Your cake had more detail in it that my own wedding cake that cost three times as much. I was a first time customer, and now I’m a lifetime customer!! (and so are about 30 of our closes friends now). Stefanie

The White Rock Fire Fighter’s Charity Association would like to thank Hillcrest Bakery for their continuous support in sponsoring our annual Pancake Breakfast with Santa. For the past six years, Hillcrest Bakery has provided us with a generous donation of a gingerbread house kit, baked and ready to decorate. The gingerbread house is always an exciting part of our event. Not only does it go home with a lucky raffle winner, but it also helps us raise thousands of dollars! These funds have supported local charities and programs within our community. The Hillcrest Bakery’s continued support is much appreciated and we look forward to working with them on future events.

Just wanted you to know how much the five of us enjoyed “the bird” and trimmings. Without all your efforts and preparation, we would not have had an Easter dinner. So ~ many thanks. Being of Scottish descent, I added a “turnip dish”. The pie was delicious, as always. Marilyn & David

Since I was old enough to drive, 28 years now, I have been driving myself to Hillcrest Bakery to buy my little cakes, cookies and treats; I am a creature of habit……Hillcrest Bakery is my habit. My sweet tooth calls for cake, not just any cake, but Hillcrest Bakery’s cakes.The atmosphere is friendly, and consistent; the feel is family and down home. I look forward to our continued sweet relationship; my taste buds rely on it. Sandy Allen, White Rock

Hillcrest Bakery is by far my favourite bakery in White Rock/South Surrey. It reminds me of the era of great bakeries from my childhood when we visited Vancouver. It has many of the favourites that you rarely see at bakeries these days such as Vanilla Squares (with oodles of cream and a so sweet icing); or the “real” Nanaimo Bars (not the Costco kind- which are good – but these are exceptional) or my favourite is the date turnover in an oatmeal cookie. But best best best of all is the macaroon chocolate mound! It is super fresh coconut mounds dipped in chocolate – they make it better than any place I recall and I must ration myself. When I found this bakery (long ago), it re-booted a little piece of my memory of what bakeries used to be like and why I love them so! There is nothing better than a good old, fashioned bakery.

I have been a customer at Hillcrest Bakery for a number of years now and have found their bakery goods excellent and it is also a great place to stop by for a relaxing sweet or cup of coffee. The staff are very accommodating and the bakery projects a family atmosphere. Jim, White Rock

Always friendly, always good! They even take custom orders. They made mini hot-dog buns for my kids birthday party. How fun is that?! Teresa, South Surrey

Thank you for doing such a great job on our Hello Kitty cake!! It was a huge hit – all of the little girls were oohing & aahing over it & all of the parents were asking where we got it. Not only was the decorating fabulous the cake was good too – not too sweet. A&E Bird
